I learned how to shoot one of these thumb releases this year. Been shooting 20 years archery with wrist release. Learning curve wasn’t the easiest but It does make a good difference in archery performance

I have always shot a wrist. I don't understand target panic because I first started shooting at about 7 y/o. I'm the guy who would punch his own teeth out learning to shoot a hinge.

I didn’t realize I was panic shooting with a wrist until I went to a button. Basically letting the shot go from the anchor point with zero rear follow through. Like I said rough learning curve but I went from “good” to “great”

Is the thumb button the trigger or is that just like a safety to engage the mechanism? I see straight hinge releases with no thumb barrel at all and always wondered.

So there’s hinge releases and thumb buttons. Some hinges do have thumb safety’s. I use a thumb button. Pulling straight back with your elbow will release a thumb button. A hinge requires you to do the same while letting your hand slightly rotate to release it. YouTube has plenty of explanations
