I know its a long video but I felt like I had a lot to say on this product. Please let me know if the video is too long or not. I value your feedback on this channel 👊
I have the exact issue that you described and that is why I'm looking at getting the backstrap. Your video has convinced my to purchase it. People that don't know about that imaginary anvil hanging off the end of your stabilizer that make it all but impossible to get your pin back up to the target/bullseye just don't know how lucky they are.
I got this as soon as it came out and it cured target panic that lasted about a year and I couldn't fix it. This took me about 3 weeks to adjust to, and I am shooting my old high score when I feel like I am shooting terrible and 10-20 points higher than my old high score in my better days. Amazing.
You describe exactly what’s been happening to me. I’ve even flung some arrows under my target. I just got a used Carter Like Mike today and think I’m going to like it. It’s not a back tension release but has basically no creep and you can adjust the tension it takes to set it off. I like the webbing adjustment compared to my Little Goose. It always felt too far forward. I have the tension cranked all the way down and the webbing shortened all the way up and it felt pretty comfortable so far.
I’m seriously considering buying one of these releases. I think that having the trigger squeezed while aiming would calm the target enabling the shooter to aim and execute the shot
Hopefully this one will actually last. Part of the reason NockOn came out with new versions of their release because the old ones break after a few years. I personally think these releases are too expensive to not last 5 years. Even after maintaining it as Dudley described, my original silverback has become virtually useless. It was a great product and I'm glad I used it but I personally feel the release should last more than 4 years.
Good review. I have the nock on also. I punch the trigger also, hoping it will help. Did a review on my channel also. Its a Lear curve but in the end I feel its helping me. Keep up the videos brother.
Back tension takes a lil while for your body to understand. For me, the best explanation I was told was once you get to your draw length or anchor, imagine pulling your elbow inline with the back of your ear.
I agree with that, or pull your elbow back away. Thats what John Dudley teaches, back tension is even stranger to me "squeezing your muscles together. It works when you get that perfect feel!
Great video. I struggle from time to time with target panic and punching the trigger. (My videos from this last season are facepalming proof 😂) I’m going to score one of these as soon as they’re back in stock. Thank you for sharing!
This release is pretty sweet. I've worked up to some groups at 40-50-60 where I have arrows touching. As someone who just picked up archery within the year it's a great training mechanism to get proper back wall tension and follow through. Teaches you to trust your pin and focus on form. However I do have a couple complaints about this release. 1. The burrs in the hinge ate my d-loop until I got smart and took some scotch brite to it. Fixed it, but took some time to properly smooth it down. 2. I get some string jump to the right causing my arrows to consistently fly left. I don't have this issue with a traditional wrist release. I'm not sure why this happens. Maybe its the strap attached to the release that gets torqued by my hand? Anyone else had this issue?
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors Thanks for the reply! For me I just threw my sight over a bit and it was perfect for field points. Then I shot my broadheads and had some issues with consistency. No biggie, just going to rock the cheap trigger release for hunting and keep the back strap for off season practice.
If your arrows are hitting left you might be “creeping” I am sure there are videos out there that explain it better then I can but basically the bow creeps forward especially if you don’t have a deep valley (like a Hoyt) You’re a bow will slowly forward causing a shot to go off. You would notice this with a normal release because it will go off unexpectedly but since the whole point of this back tension release is to give you a surprise shot you might not notice it.
I have the nockon backstrap for the exact same reasons as you. I have basically have same equipment as you. I do not have time to try this and that. I will shoot this release all spring and summer. I have to work on my target panic or it will control me.
You're not the only one that suffers I shoot a hinge I got like 3 or 4 different ones I got the thumbbutton from stand stand and reggae dumb button for ultra mute cause I'm trying to find the perfect fit in my hand I find myself every now and then and you won't even notice that you're doing it until it's too late or you'll be right at again to the shot and skip ready to break and you'll give it a little nudge just to help it
I find myself when I am in the bulls I want to apply chess wonder why just a lot more backtitch and a lot faster you know I tell you another thing I find myself doing as I'll draw back bring my head over to the string and won't even realize it so I have to draw back stop thinking about what I'm doing bring string over To my face then anchor up
Try doing drills for example: stare at you target without a pins in your scope i don’t really remember them but you can just search archery drills for target panic.
Well, it's been a year. Are you still liking this release? Still using it? I bought the Stan Execute II and even though I've used a Carter Quickie Plus for hunting for years I don't like this Stan. It's the new one with a double sear that doesn't transfer any energy to the tigger when at full draw. It's really butter smooth though. It has no trigger travel just tension. Would you consider trading?
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors I think if it was tuned heavy enough I don’t think you could punch this. It would require back tension and I don’t know if you could time it that well, sort of like a hinge. I’m thinking about trying the silverback
Great video. Can you post the length from back of hook to front of trigger (measuring straight down body of the release, but lining up inside edge to inside edge so as to get an idea of how far finger will be from d-loop)? I'm interested in how close this is to a Like Mike because it might be interesting to be able to go back and forth without changing anything on my bow. Thanks, if you have the time.
I think that I think that he should have put a click in it so once you had the safety deactivated you knew then you didn't have to really put no more pressure with your finger cause I can see a lot of people just like squeeze in on it real hard and jerk and through the shot
You got a problem there if you rewatch that video no offense you're bringing your head to the screen you want to bring the string to your face Just something I noticed
Releases don’t cure target panic nor should you time a release. Learn to forget the Aim & concentrate on the back end of the shot. The front end of the shot needs no help @ all. No pro today or ever let the pin tell him to shoot!
Thanks for the sharing! Just got mine but i was really disappointed. Reason was the poundage of breaking off is always unstable, after I set it at certain poundage (like 15 pounds), the breaking off point could be sometimes only 12 pounds (which causes misfire) while sometimes goes up to 20+ pounds (which causes I can't trigger the shot at all when I am fully prepared, I had to pull very hard and caused left hand shaking already yet still can't trigger the shot) It would have been a great release and exactly working the same way as you presents, don't know it's only happening to mine or did u experience the same issue?
I think you should call them and have them send you another one. Mine is not like that. I dont have a real draw scale to test it on but I dont feel like mine does that.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors I'm in Singapore so it's a bit unrealistic to mail them back considering the international delivery costs. End up I just use it as an index finger release, but turns out working great due to its trigger position and travel, I can execute a surprise shot without knowing when exactly it's going to happen😂
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thanks for your sharing! what happened just now ,right after I replied you the last msg, was the Back Strap release just completely frozen when I was using it as index finger release. it just suddenly frozen when I pull the trigger, just didn't fire at all no matter how hard I pull it, totally malfunction, i've reached out to them and see how they'll reply. thanks again
No offense but have ever seen these videos of the guys now hunting actually TALKING as the deer is coming in and asking “are you on” to the camera guy and deer don’t hear it? That little “click” ain’t gonna bother nothing! Noises in the woods all the time! And limbs falling, squirrels, acorns ….
Dude your crazy. Go buy 2 back straps and use 1 for taining and the other for hunting set lighter. Don't change to the wiseguy. That doesn't make sence.
