There are a bunch of trigger release out there and I have no idea which one to get. What are some good ones out there that are not in the top of the money bracket?

Fletcher .44 caliper realease. The head is lime green and sick lookin. Smooth and adjustable trigger.

If you get a trigger release if I were you Id get the buckle strap on one instead of velcro.
 
Scott Little Bitty Goose is my favorite . I use a Scott caliper for back up . Try a few at the pro shop and see what feels best for you .
 
I shoot a Scott mongoose, my daughter uses the Scott little bitty goose.

A good release is as important as finding a bow that fits you.
 
I use a Tru Fire bullfrog buckle. it adjusts well, smooth, and feels like a hair-trigger dry. Under load it still is very sensitive.

I understand it is adjustable but I have never needed to adjust it. I can't remember exactly what it cost but it wasn't much.

I don't carry a backup. with this one, I don't need one - it never fails. I am pretty good at keeping up with my stuff. But I might just have two of these in the house.
 
For hunting I use a TRUBall short'n'sweet with a velcro strap. The release head is on a web strap that allows for the length to be customized. I've used the Scott little bitty goose and liked it too.
 
UT Grad... do you have any buddies close by that would let you try some different ones out? Many of the archery shops have pull aids you can use, but you dont really know what they feel like without shooting YOUR bow with them. If you were closer to me, I have 5-10 different releases you could try.

OH YEAH.. VELCRO is the way to go!
 
oh okay.... I wasnt implying anything. Just thought if UT was closer to me I would be more than happy to try and help.
 
I am getting all the help I need right now from this forum. I don't even need to get off the couch! I'm going to definately need some help in person when it comes to tree stands.
 
I'd recommend the Tru-Ball or Scott as a first choice. Fletcher makes some pretty good releases also. Like JayMc I use the Tru-Ball short-n-sweet. I have one in velcro and one in a buckle strap. I like them both. I use the buckle strap in cold weather to cinch down thick gloves. But it works fine even in warm weather on my bare wrist. The velcro is more convenient, but a little noisier. However, you will need to be shooting a d-loop with this release.

But Tru-Ball, Scott, Fletcher and Tru-Fire all make a jaw clamp model that can be used on a loop or directly on a string. Like Radar said try different ones. Go to an archery range or pro-shop and try several. You will probably find one that just fits better than the others. Remember most of them are adjustable for fit (wrist size and length) and adjustable for tension (trigger pull). Some even adjust trigger positions.
