Just picked up a Stan solex cliker, I’ve been shooting a thumb button for about 5 years now. I was just shooting the new release in the basement and my hand and lower arm started to tingle, like a lot. Anyone have any experience with this while using a wrist strap? it’s not extremely tight but it’s snug on my wrist. It’s still loose enough to have some play so I can shoot with back tension. Doesn’t seam any different then how I used to shoo them only difference I notice is this strap is leather and my old ones are a cloth and Velcro deal.
 
Is one side of your hand more affected than the other? Life thumb and index finger vs. ring finger and pinky. That would help localize if a specific nerve is being compressed. I don't know how to explain the arm tingling. It doesn't make anatomic sense.

thumb index and middle, but my almost my whole forearm also. Ik it’s very strange idk how both nerves would be pinched at the elbow but that’s almost how it feels.
 
Thumb, index, and middle is classic median nerve. Carpal tunnel. Do you do a lot of typing for your work? Maybe you have borderline carpal tunnel that's being aggravated by the compression of the wrist strap. Still doesn't explain the forearm, though. A pinched nerve in the neck could do it, but not sure why that would happen only with this release and not others. Maybe subtle difference in arm position when you draw?

no typing, but I own a concrete company and finish a lot of flat work so this could be some of it. Also leaning to the neck as I typically have some neck and back pain. But like you said. It sure why the wrist strap would all of a sudden flare it up.
 
I had the same thing happen. Turned out to be "tennis elbow" and carpal ligament thingy.. I asked the doc what are common causes and he said "welcome to middle-age." He recommended wearing a Wrist Widget when I shoot. It works surprisingly well as long as you shoot a hinge or button. Gets in the way when I use my Like Mike
 
I had something similar, migrated to both hands, ended up being my neck
