RE: thumb trigger release
Almost impossible to shoot that release correctly without learning a true swivel release.
It should be shot with back tension - kinda the same as pulling thru the shot.
If you are punching your trigger - you will just punch with your thumb now.
I always try to talk my customers out of thumb releases as a cure to panic or punching.

RE: thumb trigger release
Thanks
I do not have target panic, and I really don't have a problem with puching the trigger on the index release I have now. On a 3d course I maybe punch it 3 times usually causing the arrow to hit at one oclock from the point I was aiming at. I try to use the fish hook to release the shot.
The reason I as is that I will be getting a new bow next month, and want to start using something other than a index release. I figure that I might as well start when I get the new bow.
Thanks again.

RE: thumb trigger release
i can use bt with one, but only after learning with a real bt release. before that i pulled thru the shot. make a conscious effort to settle down before execution to keep from learning how to drive by shoot with one.

RE: thumb trigger release
I shoot mine with back tension and my friends think I'm a bit nuts for hunting with my Carter but I can force the shot if the situation demands it. (Shooting moving 3-D rabbit targets through a steel window taught me the need to learn that; "plingk" - $15 arrow[:@], "plingk" - another $15 arrow[:@])
