For Youth/Small Wrists!! - Well Made; Needs Adjustment Out of Box to Reduce Excess Trigger Creep
It's buried in the description on the package and not even listed in the Amazon listing, but THIS IS FOR SMALLER WRISTS and will NOT WORK WITH GLOVES due to the size (unless you have tiny wrists). While I have larger hands (I'm about 7" around at the wrist), they aren't huge and I'm pretty much maxing out the strap on this release. I won't be able to wear any gloves and I tend to swell in the summer heat, so I anticipate this being a bit snug during any summer practice sessions.Otherwise, this is a well made release that you can push on the back of the trigger to close the jaws (which is pretty common, though not 100% standard across all brands). At first glance, I thought the elastic strap extension (to pre-thread the strap for easy one handed fitment) was a bit gimicky, but in use, I actually enjoy using it. All of the materials seem top notch, and the release is comfortable to use.While the length of the release is adjustable, it arrives at the longest length, which is about the same as the shortest adjustment point on my Scott Archery release. Again, this is made for YOUTH AND SMALL HANDS. Does it work for my ~XL hands? Yes, but barely, I'm maxing out all the stops.Finally, I like a clean, crisp trigger with very little travel. I want a glass wall that holds until it breaks. Out of the box, this trigger moves a huge amount before breaking. It's far too much creep for me and it is without a wall before it releases. Maxing out the adjustment screw (to minimize travel) gets it to acceptable performance. It's still not a glass wall like my Scott release, but it is a low enough amount of creep before releasing that I can live with it. If you look at my close up pic, the screw basically sticks out and prevent the trigger from moving all the way forward. That picture is with itFinally verdict? Good materials, good design, and comfortable-- but I'm knocking a star for the lack of clarity that this is for small wrists and because the trigger creep is very lackluster (and, frankly, unacceptable) out of the box.

Tight
As another reviewer has already pointed out, this is for smaller wrists. I, too, have a 7" diameter wrist and it fits snug. I ordered this after hunting season had already ended, but I do look forward to trying it out next hunting season. I'll be sure to come back and update this review (if there is anything noteworthy to report) after I've had a chance to use/test it.

Very well made and comfortable, crisp release, trigger travel adjustable, love it!
This is a very nice bow release, top of the line. Right out of the box, it has a crisp release feel but the trigger has too much travel compared to other releases I've used before. But fortunately, its travel length before the break is easily adjustable! Just turn the adjustment screw until you like it. So, I was able to quickly set it up to my liking. Can't complain at all, feels great now! Another super-cool feature is that you can press the backside of the trigger to close the jaws, which is fairly common, but by far not every release trigger has it and usually only the top-of-the-line expensive ones come with it. So, kudos to Tru-Fire for including this cool feature in this release, I really like it and it greatly improves your life when handling a bow as you can hook the bow string loop with one hand only.Materials it's made out of look and feel top notch. Excellent stitching, the head of this release is connected to the wrist harness with a metal rod, not with an elastic strap like some cheaper models. The harness is designed for smaller hands and wrists, but it fits my hand perfectly, so I have zero complaints about its sizing. The elastic stripe at the end of the belt-like stripe is an interesting feature and prevents the wrist stripe from fully opening when you unbuckle it. Basically, it prevents accidental losing and dropping the release when you unlock the buckle. Very nice QOL feature too.*** TL;DR ***Well, I think it's nearly perfect, I really like it and I highly recommend it. It's exceptionally well made, excellent materials, great and practical design, and very comfortable. Performance is top-notch as well; it has a very crisp trigger release feeling, and the trigger travel is fully adjustable. I really love and trust this bow release, solid 5 stars in my book.+++ Pros +++1) Very well made, excellent materials.2) Exceptionally crisp trigger release.3) Fully adjustable trigger travel length.4) Pushing trigger forward closes jaws.5) All padded harnesses, very comfortable.6) Trigger is connected to the harness with a metal rod.7) Elastic strap prevents losing the release when unbuckled.--- Cons ---1) Runs a little small, probably not for large hands.

Too small
On the biggest size it barely makes it around my wrist. This feels like it was made for a kid. Length isnโt adjustable enough to make the trigger comfortable to pull.

Good product.
This is much nicer than my old release. I like that the trigger is adjustable for finger length. It's a little tight for me, but is comfortable enough. Smooth release too.

Excellent youth release
This is one of the nicer bow releases I have seen, I love the adjust-ability of the trigger mechanism so that you can match it to finger length. The strap is comfortable and sized more for a youth and fits my teenager perfectly. Trigger pull is crisp and the clasp has no issues holding a 50lb bow weight.

Very durable
Performs as expected, made with quality materials and is very durable. holds strong and take very little pressure to release arrow. I recommend giving this item a try.
