Cheap amazon thumb release?

[Neckbone]

I shoot a b3 index release, always have. Want to try a thumb release but don't want to spend $150-$200 just to not like it. Is it worth trying a $25 amazon job at first, or are they so crappy that its not even giving thumb releases a fair chance? Or should I just spend the coin and sell it if I dont like it?

If I like the thumb release style I would promptly pick up a quality release.

Don't do it. Your release should not be the thing you cheap out on. It's holding the weight from punching you in the face, not worth it.

Try to find a used one in the classifieds or go to an archery shop and see if they will let you try one.

Let me also say…if I like the thumb release style I would invest in a quality one. Just hate to drop the coin on an expensive one just to not like shooting it.

You couldn't pay me $150-200 to use a $25 thumb release. Good way to punch yourself in the face or send an arrow into oblivion (hopefully not a neighbor).
Find a local shop, they should have release options and let you try them on their range. If they won't, I'm sure if you go to any kind of range or shoot, someone there would have one and would let you try on your own equipment.

Archery talk classifieds. There are plenty of guys with fat lips and chipped teeth selling their first thumb release even the pricey ones
