Man, you got a good deal for sure. Great rig. Public land hunts can be very challenging so congratulations on the kills. Especially while ground hunting. As an ancient bow hunter I noticed it looks like you are punching the thumb button. Some call a slow punch a command but is it a command or a punch. The difference is real and very minute IMO. And I long ago if one can set up the thumb so all you need to do is pull straight back the downrange result is generally a lot better. Especially at ranges you aren’t real comfortable with. It eliminates the conscious act of having to switch your focus from the target mentally to “ time to move my thumb”. Your brain is jumping back and forth with thoughts on timing the shot, moving the thumb and trying to keep the pin floating on the target. There are several good videos on good ways to setup and use a thumb. “ bow only outdoors “ has learning vids that are excellent. “ whitetail fit” has a vid on his technique. Personally, my thumb is setup with no travel but enough tension I can put my thumb on it without fear of firing. I have to create thumb pressure by pulling straight back. Just saying this style works for me very well, hunting or target shooting. 👍👍🔥
Man I really appreciate the feedback! I switched to a thumb button several years ago after battle severe target panic issues with an index style release aid. It was so bad that I couldn't hit a target at 20 yards, my pin would always lock way below the target. The thumb button has brought my confidence back and I'll for sure work on the things you talked about!! Looking back on the bow purchase, it definitely felt like a steal for $650. I'm so happy with it!
@. Want to say I’ve had TP so I know the aggravation. But if you will work seriously you can gain 100% control and when you really know the feeling it’s almost unbelievable. EVERYTHING just falls into place and shooting is like 200% more enjoyable because there is ZERO ANXIETY!

I’m glad I don’t live in that house behind you!
