The jaws open when you pull the trigger and close when you let up on the trigger so this bowhunting release is extremely quiet. Tru-Fire claim that, once adjusted, the 3D Hunter release aid will rival any $300 hand-held release on the market.

The Crackshot from Tru Fire is a basic release aid that has withstood the test of time and remains an economical favourite with target shooters and bow hunters who don't care for a wrist strap.

Strapless release aids, such as the 3-D Hunter from Tru-Fire and the Chocolate Addiction from carter, make excellent bowhunting releases. But the comment we hear the most is that without the strap they are easy to lose in the bush. Solve this problem by securing your release aid to your wrist with a small lanyard made from stout cord (thin release-loop cord is excellent for this).
Many finger release aids have a small hole in the pinkie end of the body just for this. If there is no hole, such as with most of the economy release aids, secure one end of the cord with a double wrap of black electrical tape and fashion a slip knot on the other end to go around your wrist. It won't be in the way and you will never lose that valuable release aid. If you do use electrical tape, make renewing it an item on your pre-hunt checklist as it can deteriorate over time.
