Index Vs Thumb Release BATTLE! 

There are so many ways to shoot each of these releases, some better than others. What really matters in the end is repeatable consistency! Great video.

Probably the best teacher I have ever seen. Excellent.

Great video! Very informative instruction for a first time thumb shooter. I wish I would have had that kind of teacher when I started.

Really appreciate the video. This is something I've often thought about as well since I also shoot an index.

Great video. I too have been working between index and thumb. I had bought cheap thumb release that would fire on draw due to faults. Definately go for best qauality. Even if they cost more

Man that guy! Knowledge right in your face! He's amazing..👌👍👊

Awesome video, very helpful 👍🏻

Going to a thumb is probably the best thing he’s done. Tiggers are just as accurate if you can and have learned to NOT PUNCH. I used a trigger for nearly 20 years then went to a thumb. Currently using the latest version of the Carter Wise Choice (has no travel adjustment just trigger tension). A good video for those people wanting a quality thumb. Guess I will be ordering me a Stan Onnex too!! lol

A quality thumb lesson. I'm going to try that inner thumb crease.

Awesome video guys good info there... 👍🏻✌🏻

Good work, fellas. I’m making the change to a thumb release and stuff like this really helps…

It's been a while since this, but they have figured out how to add a lanyard and a wrist strap to the Stans Onnex Thumb. The team @Bow N Arrow Shop set mine up with a Native Archery release strap. I wish I had seen this episode before I started looking for my first thumb release.

Props! Going to Stan one day, and thumb release is my goal. I found the Tru ball is a good index. Execution release, I can use my second finger as a safety and rest index on top of trigger and not have to bring my index around the trigger. I do have to focus on the middle finger as a safety. It is smoother and better adjusted than both my Carters, quickie and Like Mike 11. Thanks for you great vids. getting proud of my correct draw thanks to you guys.

Awesome video thanks

I shot a handheld for a while. Both hinge and a thumb. Recently hurt my shoulder and the index alleviates the pain. with the principles I learned shooting a handheld I applied to Shooting an index for a surprise release and found I have a much more consistent anchor with the index vs the handhelds. I think with any release as long as you can be consistent it doesn’t matter what you use.

I shoot the stan shootoff TL thumb button release 3 finger. . Great release. Nice review

Listen to this guy, he's a great instructor. He guy me shooting bullseye all day.

Great switch. I would have set the thumb bar to fit the shooter first before he fired it. The stan is great though. Usually set it colder for first timer so they can pull through the shoot.

Not sure who the pro shop guy is, but he seem very knowledgeable. Props to him.

great video

Real good video. Lots of pointers. How did the shop owner have that strap attached to the Stan release? Edit. I did a search in this thing called the internet and low and behold…I found all I needed to know about this.

This is good information I’m considering a thumb release but I’m so used to a trigger cause I almost relate it to a rifle When I shoot bench with a rifle I check my process and squeeze the trigger That’s ingrained in my brain When I’m hunting the trigger process I’m used to is instinctive Almost automatic I don’t even hear the shot It’s just a little bit different than target shooting When I shoot my bow I concentrate on form consistentcy but I don’t necessarily feel back pressure like try to pull the bow apart like you have to do a hinge release I feel the full back wall concentrate on the anchor point and aim and my trigger finger knows when the shot is good That’s not necessarily the correct form that’s just my natural process and it works By the way if I’m not punching one big hole at the rifle range at 100 yards I’m not happy

Goin by tomorrow to get my first bow after watching the budget reviews. Gonna put a deer up on that trophy wall

Informative video bro! I shoot compound but I also shoot crossbow! Speaking of crossbows, I have a crossbow target shooting video, where I shoot my Cold Steel Cheap Shot at my homemade archery target.

Now that had some 'Cow Bell' !! John ps. Get Bruce OUT OF THE SHOP and on the Range !!!

Rofl....80/20 here.....maybe 85/15.... Found it refreshing he admitted that best bit ive seen all year..! Im coming out to then ! 😜 i think my goal is to keep the command part smal enough no one can tell !

For one you can't have a release set with a hair trigger and expect them to load up on the wall I wouldn't thank them for 2 Look like to me he was punching both of them and liked me had anticipation

Where can I order the native strap for my thumb release?

I switched from index to hinge. Best decision for me 👍 I tried a thumb but it didn't work for me, I just felt wrong.

i once heard that many many moons ago people actually used there own fingers to pull the string..can you imagine that

It's gonna ever but you're never gonna get repeatability when you're football putting that Release there's so much movement in your hand right in your hand by dropping your finger into the release that you'll never get a repeatability I know a lot of people say Kyle Douglas and Tim Gillingham shoot a command style release but they put their finger on the release when the pin gets air they push it they don't slap it

Where can I get one of those Native wrist straps for my Perfex?

This might help me group my arrow better. I shoot a true-fire release

I have never ever heard Levi Morgan say anything about that is how he shoots his shot that he commands his shot he says when he feels the target panic demon's crawling on his legs he throws the dumb button in his pouch and brings out his hinge I've never heard him once say anything about punch it if anything I've hurting talk about target panic

Waooo great jop

His draw length is too long! He has to find his kisser every draw lol! Wth! Fix that for the man lol

im always wearing make up and sunscreen when im shooting my bow lol wtf
