Its the same way with bows around here. There's a few dealers around, but none have a big inventory of bows. I've been trying to find a Hoyt Pro Comp Elite with Spirals to shoot for the last couple days and can't find one anywhere. All the Hoyt dealers say they can order me one if I want it. I hate to buy anything without at least holding it first. I don't like ordering a brand new bow and paying full price for one just to see what it looks and feels like. That's a big reason I've started utilizing the classifieds here. If I'm gonna have to order something anyway...I might as well save a few hundred by buying used, and then having it shipped straight to me.
Good luck on your release endeavors. That's one alley I've not ventured down much; if you can ever make it to one of the big ASA, IBO, or Regions tournaments...they will have vendors at them and you can get to play with a lot of the releases, stabilizers, etc.
If you can shoot a wrist strap trigger you can shoot a thumb release... I would recommend a STAN this way if you don't like it, it will be easy to resell.
You can find them used for half of retail. If there was some mechanical issue with them both Stan and carter have excellent CS. I would suggest Carter myself. The Stan bodies were thinner and not as comfortable for me.
I bought a thumb release about four years ago without trying one out and didn't like it at first. I made myself use it because of the money I spent on it. Once I got used to it I really liked it and shoot better with it than I ever have with a wrist release.
stans are awesome love mine, as for size idk. My figers are kinda thick and my hand fits the medium fine. But if your in doubt id probably grab a large
Stan Shootoff! Just bought a blackout because of color. I may not be able to shoot, but at least I look like I can. Good instructional on u-tube on Stan Shootoff.
God Bless & Shoot Straight Phil
