I use a Free Flight C-10. It's kind of like a half glove around your hand. You can buy them with a trigger that you pull, or a trigger that you push. I never really liked the releases that just hang on your wrist, but everybody's different. http://www.winnarchery.com/C-10-Bow-Hunting-Archery-Release-C10-Free-Flight-Winn-Archery.htmlI don't know if it's legal in Michigan, but you might think about a crossbow.

I could never get comfortable with the "wrist-pulls" and always used a "hand-grip".

I have a couple of Scott Releases, a Wolf and a Sabertooth. Both have a buckled wrist strap which I now prefer. It’s all a matter of what you get use to. My first release was a handheld Hot Shot Model A, it worked well, but times change.

I honestly prefer a Stan SX3, they cost a bit more but they are really worth it. It has a ton of adjustment built in and Stan is the only company I know of that has a built in training lock pin that will allow you to use the release without actually firing. The only other release I own is a TruBal absolute 360 which again I liked because its very adjustable. The only issue with hunting with the TruBal is that it is a hook style and I cant leave it on the bow so I keep it in my pocket. The Stan is a pincher style that you can lock onto the D-loop and leave it. Of course the TruBal in my pocket does stay warmer but what can you do.

Scott Archery has a variety of releases and styles. They are all excellent quality materials, well built and backed by great customer service.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I have a couple of Scott release aids including a silverhorn and a Trufire can't recall the models. My Spot Hogg Wise Guy puts them all in a storage bin collecting dust holds up like a tank and don't worry about the wrap around type or L shape.
Good luck and shoot straight

I think releases are like bows, you really need to test drive a few before you buy. There's lots of good releases out there now a days to choose from. If you have a local shop you could go try some out and see what fits and feels good to you. I'm sure the shop wouldn't mind letting you test a few out. I've been using the same Fletchunter Concho for years and it has been a good release for me.

Carter/NockOn Nock2it for me. Awesome release. Also make a silverback that's a tension release made to be used as a training aid for the nock2it.

I think you need to decide if it's an index or thumb release first.

If you can get you hands on one, give a No Limit Archery Ringer release a try. Hand held release that is triggered by your ring finger. It makes a back tension release extremely intuitive. I love mine, next best thing to shooting fingers.
