I can agree with pretty much everything that has been said in this thread, impartial and personal recommendations that will steer OP in the right direction. But to this bit posted above, I have to politely and respectfully ask 'why?'. I know plenty of very capable and fine archers who have only ever used trigger style releases, and had great success both in hunting and in target shooting. So, why in your opinion is this absolutely not something to do? As far as I'm concerned, you shoot what you are most comfortable with, including bow, release and the rest of the gear.
