Thumb button hitting hoods

[tdoublev]

Has anyone else struggled with using a thumb button release when wearing extra layers with hoods? This might be a me problem since I have a relatively short neck. Once the weather cools down and I start wearing hoods, I run into issues with anchoring because the hood gets in between my anchor point and my hand (when the hood is down). I’ve even had accidental releases from the hood hitting the trigger when bringing my hand up. I figured I just need to switch back to index release but figured I’d ask others before committing.

I think everyone shooting thumbs has had an accidental discharge or two. I’ve learned to be pretty aware while drawing an I like to pop my hood off so it doesn’t mess with my anchor.
