@josephanderson3551 Год назад

I've used thumb release for 4 years, borrowed my brothers wrist release and I'm done with the thumb release now.

@Bryan-vz4sz 3 года назад

would love to see thumb button.. as well as back tension releases if possible!

@TheWVgoodguy22 3 года назад

I have only used the Cabela's Index Style Release Aide that was about $35, but from what many avid archers say that a quality release can make all the difference in the world. I have seen most of the one's you mentioned at my local Cabela's, the hook style of index has always stood out to me even though I have never tried one. I know some hunters like the thumb release style, but my luck I would lose it. Thanks for such an in depth overview of these type releases.

@richardcarr7345 2 года назад

Great review! New to compound archery, so this was super helpful.

@GrizzAxxemann 3 года назад

I have a TruFire Smoke. It was chewing through D-loops, so what I did was lap the jaws using a thick, round shoelace impregnated with lapping compound. Smoothed the rough edges real fast, and then blasted the grit out with some spray lube, and wiped up the excess. Runs flawlessly.

@JamesSmullins 3 года назад

I have the smoke extreme and same issue and it's well documented to be a d loop eater. I like it but there is a lot of travel that I had to learn to ignore.

@GrizzAxxemann 3 года назад

@@JamesSmullins Agreed. I'm looking at upgrading over the winter, but I don't mind the mush in it since it feels much like the trigger on my .22.

@drewemery5734 3 года назад

Great video. A lot of good info on things to look for and think about. I was able to try a couple different releases before landing on B3 Claw. It’s an open design, which I was surprised I like. Reasonable price point.

@Bobb1julie 3 года назад

👍 Nice presentation Jack as usual. I used to have 2 of your Tru Balls •• 2nd demo .. Shot many 🦌 deer with it . I was always into timing as opposed to travel . Had to execute quickly with deer movement. Ever notice the longer you had to hold ,,it became a thought process of when to execute the shot and you could never let down . I’m now shooting my crossbow and thank you. I have to find a way to reduce my trigger pull . It feels 3 # which is too much .

Loved my Scott Little Goose releases until I sold them to people on-the-spot who tried them, too, and loved them. Now, I have the Little Goose 2 for use on my hunting bows. I use a button or hinge release for target.

@TalonID 3 года назад

Best thing you can do is not actuate the trigger like a gun. Instead, shorten up the shank and get your finger wrapped around the trigger and fire it with back tension as you've described. Good video! Scott's buckle is pretty hard to beat. I run a Carter Quickie 1 Plus on mine as it is very fast to load.

@rustymurdock1748 3 года назад

Really enjoying your videos. Very informative! Thankx

@rdb8509 11 месяцев назад

Great explanation of the trigger types. I have a Scott Ghost NCS on order. I prefer that over the threaded shank for fine tuning the position of the trigger

@timgruver5932 3 года назад

I've been using index releases since 1993. Double-jar Gator, the Answer- magnetic driven sear system, Carter quickie, Carter Quickie plus etc. I have determined that nearly all stem or barrel designed ones make the shooter adapt to whatever lengths are in the barrel. 99.9 % have any index set where they are using improperly the tips of their index finger. The releases wth the strap to the head are infinitely adjustable to fit your hand. The finger should hook deeply over the trigger and stay rigid (NO MOVEMENT) as one pulls through the shot. Pulling can be with the arm and shoulder muscles but it is way better to use your back muscles. They are larger more powerful giving better easier control while pulling. Love this video. He is giving some awesome info especially for beginners.

@aymanjoudar5425 Год назад

Now I have been shooting for some time, I can relate to the backwall and the salp and the panick

@garedjennings6509 3 года назад

One of the best decisions I ever made in regards to releases was buying the Carter Like Mike. Its expensive but has no travel in the trigger, is pressure activated, allows you to wrap your finger around the trigger and pull through the shot. $179 but it has cured my target panic and gives me a pure surprise shot.

@renatugaming5730 3 года назад

I would suggest that those people who have target panic and still want to use these is to set the length shorter, detach your target face and blank bale at a target without having to worry about hitting something. It might be worth it to get a more expensive index style release aid like the Spot Hog wise guy or any other release that you can adjust 1. Trigger travel (removes anticipation) and 2. Trigger tension (forces you to use more back tension to activate the release instead of just using the tip of your index finger because it won't work (at least won't work as well). When in doubt, trigger travel is going to help someone more with target panic because it removes anticipation of the shot. If you know you're pulling the trigger and it's not going off, you're anticipating the shot and need to either think of something else like execution or you can physically reduce the trigger travel to help. Typically if you want both adjust ability, and you're ordering from a shop online or getting it in person, typically plan on spending about 90-100 usd. you might even need to spend a little more. I got the TruBall Assassin XT and that can adjust trigger travel, but not tension for about 70 bucks. Hope this helps you all with target panic!

@thomaslewis1653 3 года назад

yes i would like to see reviews on the other type of releases, back tension style

@TheAllankuz 3 года назад

Nice explanation! I like the B3 Hawk so much, I sold my thumb and purchased a second Hawk... as a backup! The Hawk can be set with an very short travel + high tension!

@russellpickett2689 3 года назад

I love my B3 Claw. They are such an awesome company. I liked the hawk but didn’t need all the extra features.

@bobbydye8232 Год назад

I have always used the dual. But one point to consider for an older guy in low light, the inability to see the D Loop in prime time. So it might benefit the visually challenged, aka old guys, to use the clip on. It will allow us to go by feel rather than sight. Great point. Thank you.

@shanehuddleston3761 3 года назад

I would love a video on hinges and thumb buttons

@geraldtarrant7576 3 года назад

You should try triggering with the middle finger you will find it allows for better clearance and better anchor. You don't have to crank the wrist joint to get you index finger on the trigger.

@DivenByPrecision Год назад

This is a great video! You talk about all the things new archers dont think about with releases.

I'm shooting with a blackout crave release. Talk about a " hair trigger"! Must be set for about 1/4 oz lol

@Justin-zs1ql 3 года назад

AJ- Have you shot the Carter Lucky before? Sounds similar to the Ghost except the Lucky head is on a small webbing strap for any adjustability of length. I just tuck it into my cuff or the release strap itself when I want it out of the way. You can remove magnets for a lighter pull but there is absolutely no travel and it breaks like glass when it goes off.

@averagejackarchery 3 года назад

Carter is not a common brand in my area, so no, they're the only major release manufacturer that I've never shot!

@MINIHAHA1 3 года назад

Another great video. I have the scott echo release that I like alot and just bought the scott Jaws. I'm not sure yet if this will be my primary release or a back up yet. I just wish I could go a tad shorter and I think that's why I'm undecided. Is there any way to shorten the shaft on the Jaws more then what the shortest setting is? Maybe a dumb question but you never know

@averagejackarchery 3 года назад

Not that I've found other than the settings already on the shaft.

@patrickbink4617 2 года назад

This what I have noticed as well (with the Jaws) and am disappointed that I cannot make it shorter and I can't seem to find a way to adjust the tension. I am thinking that I would have rather have purchased the Echo, or possibly the TRU X-Tension R/T.

@bryang6271 3 года назад

Have you ever had any accidents with the hook only type release? Has it ever come off the dloop somehow when drawing back? I've never shot a hook style, but thinking about getting one. Just want to make sure its safe.

@averagejackarchery 3 года назад

GREAT question. I too had the same reservations for MANY years, especially for a hunting situation. But then I realized that I shoot a hinge release, which is by far the most open style of hook release there is, without any hiccups. So once I gave that Scott Ghost a try I was hooked. For example, when I shot my doe a few weeks ago, I was covered in deer and couldn't afford extra movements. Without even looking, I grabbed my bow, hooked the dloop on using my thumb for feel, drew back, and let it rip. It wasn't until after I recovered the deer that I realized I had done the whole thing in the half-dark without ever once looking at my bow. That would never happen with my standard caliper release. So I'm definitely "hooked" for life!

@daveoutdoors9664 3 года назад

what about resistance style, like the carter or the stan, that has a safety on it when you draw back

@averagejackarchery 3 года назад

I have never used a true back tension release. Scare the poop out of me. 😂

@geminidream4347 3 года назад

I wished I would of had this video before I bought the Trufire Patriot. As like your wife, I had the same misery with it. It hindered my arrow loading as well, having to knock it out of the way. It is just to long and thick for us ladies in my opinion, especially if you have small hands. I also found that the strap was to thick as well and a buckle would of been better as you said. My coach recommended the Tru Ball Fang mini, but I was not able to get one. So I decided on the Fang 4 instead and it seems perfect. I did not like the idea of having a finger loose with having long nails, that's why I didn't go with the Fang 3. Hope this helps other ladies watching. I don't have a place where I can go and try them out, I would recommend this if you can and to watch a lot of videos on how to use it since it different than a strap.

I’m considering trying a thumb button to help with a surprise release, but I’ve never shot one before and not sure my local shop will allow me to try one before purchasing.

If you like Scott, you should look at B3. They were started by the original employees Scott turned their back on when they sold. The quality is second to none.

@guitardavepdx 3 года назад

As far as hunting goes I don't see the advantage of other style releases. I am brand new to compound archery though and since I have spent the last 43 years rifle hunting the trigger is just natural. One less thing to adapt to. That being said, I do wish I could have spent more money on my release. I'm finding the adjustment is crucial

Potentially! Definitely check for sharp edges or try different loop material too!
