 I have switched to a leather thumb ring. To me it is more comfortable then one made from horn or a billiard ball. And, it is very important to use one that fits properly.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

If I remember correctly,  Fiddler up in Alaska shoots with a thumb ring and a string loop.  Makes it so he can shoot off the same side as fingers.

I saw a string loop release in an archery shop a while ago. It was attached to a small dowel and held against a small mound in the wood with your thumb. It was from the early 60's.
