Caliper Release?

Anyone here use one?
Recommendations?
Anyone have one they are wanting to trade for wrist release or one they just flat out dont want?

If you mean "caliper" release, I use a Tru Ball Pro Diamond and it's awesome. It's a T-handle with finger grooves and a thumb trigger, I also have a Tru Ball Rackmaster Pro wrist release that has the caliper for back up in case I drop the Pro Diamond but it's REAL TOUCHY! I don't care much for wrist releases because they're just not comfortable to me and the triggers are VERY sensitive. The T-handle makes drawing my bow much easier and for me I get greater accuracy with it. For people with any kind of back problems the T-handles make shooting less painful, and my back is messed up nine ways to Sunday! The lady who taught me how to shoot properly was a former world champion and showed me how to use it as if it was a back tension release and I love it. IMHO, Tru Ball releases can't be beat. Although they are a little expensive, mine was about $95. I've tried others but I like Tru Ball best.

What exactlly do you mean by caliper release? Usually that term is used for a wrist strap style release. Are you talking about a thumber trigger type release? I used a T.R.U. Ball Trail Boss for awhile and they work pretty much the same way except you hold them different. I would suggest going to shoot afew before you spend the money on one. The one I bought was over $100 but they are nice.

Carter also makes some nice ones...ive been looking at trying the Carter Target 4 just dont know if I want to put my Scott down again. They are also over $100, but you can find them used for around $70-$80.
