I’m thinking about trying a new release after this deer season. What are you using and what do you recommend?

What Release Are You Hunting With?

What style of release are you using now? I’d recommend sticking with that style, so if you’re using index stick with it unless you’re really confident. I shoot a thumb and shoot a hot shot vapor 3
I second this release option. It’s been said a lot.... buy once cry once
I want one, just dipping my toe in on thumb release this year......
Better than dipping your thumb for a toe release
I’ve used the same release since 2005. It’s a Trufire Splitfire. Allows direct hold on the string without needing a D-Loop. No damage to string with 1000s of pulls
Winn Archery C-12 Relax Release. https://www.winnarchery.com/Winn-Archery-Customer-Service-Information.html I'm still getting used to it but I think it will help some shot anticipation issues I have when I start shooting a lot. They've been in business for years and the design helps you draw a bit more weight too if needed. My index style is a Scott Lil' Goose I've used for years.
Probably going to be my Little Goose. I have a Silverback but I'm honestly not sure that I'd trust myself hunting with it. Also would probably lose it.
I need to give thumb releases more time, I find myself going back to old reliable index style release. Purchased a B3 Hawk a few years ago and was able to set the length while also adjusting the travel very low and tension a tad higher. As long as I wrap my finger over the trigger, (and avoid using my fingertip), I tend to be consistent. May give a thumb another try, but knowing I'll need time with it, I won't pick up a thumb until practice season next year.
Ive been shooting a Scott Longhorn Hex for years, and love it.
I shoot it split like a hinge between my index and middle fingers.

I shoot a trufire index release. So far i managed to focus on shoot execution and not punch the thing.
Carter Quickie wrist release and a Truefire Hardcore. I also sometimes shoot a Trueball Chappy Boss thumb release.
I am a D loop hater and will be using either a Fletcher Fletchunter or a Winn C10 shooting diff the string.
Have you tried the silverback? Curious to try them both, but it seems that the nock2it is better for hunting
