Question Which Release Aid!

Hi Can anybody please tell me which is the best release aid to use, at the moment i use a cascade with rope and i want something as small so it will not afect my anchor point.
I shoot also on a D Loop and i have made my d loop as small a possible and also my string on the release,I have tried shooting the release with no string but i can not shoot as good but the length is better just as i would like a new release aid to be,can anybody help!

I use a Carter Just Cuz and find it to do the job i ask of it...release aids are a very personal thing.I would go to your nearest Archery retailer and try a couple out,just to get the feel right.

Hi John,
As Jez says, release aids are a personal choice, I use a chappie boss "jaws" head and "D" loop to good effect, it gives a straight line loose with no deflection. Make sure your "D" loop is not too short so as to foul your release aid rope and touch the nock on your arrow. Bald Eagle

I recommend a Just Cuz as well, I own 2 of them (1 spare). It's great for medium to small hands and the rounded thumb guard allows you to rotate it at full draw to get better leverage.
I wouldn't worry about trying to fit your current anchor. Throw that cascade in the bin and adjust your peep sight to get the new release right.
