Advantage of Hook Style Release?

[deeraddict]

Read the other thread about the hook style release. I have wondered what the advantage is with the hook style over the caliper style. I am assuming there is one as I see them used allot by top shooters.
Thanks,

For me it is just faster hookup and takeoff when needed on the d loop. Great for hunting. Accuracy seems no different to me.

I have a hook style wrist release, but use it only as a back up. I've shot quite a bit with it and accuracy is no different than the caliper style, but much quicker to get on the string. I just am a bit freaked out by the possibility of an unintended release, etc. with the hook style. I think if a person spent time with it, it'd be just fine.

I have a hook style and love it. It is very touchy and it takes getting used to but I'll never shoot anything else.
