I have been using the tru ball ultra sweet spot, basically the same release and it has changed my archery experience no more target panic! I can shoot any release without and punching I can even feel all the travel in my old cheap release with out freaking out 😂
Hello there, I love the content! Recently found your RUclips and watched every single video. I have a video suggestion. My set-up is RX7-Ultra, 29.5” Draw, 70#, .300 Spine - Easton Axis 5mm Match Grade Pro; 522 grains. Speeds range from 267-270 My Arrow Setup: wrap, solo Hunter 2.5 vanes(3), Easton Brass 50grain hit insert(took the 25piece off), Iron Will Impact Collars. I use 100 grain broadhead. I prefer 100 over 125. My video suggestion(s): Choose one bow - Grab several different arrows, preferably set-up the same - same spine, to show arrow speed. -Side not speed is not everything but most people like to have speed. It doesn’t matter how you have the arrow set-up just make sure shooting the same spine, in different arrows. P.S. You should set-up your community on RUclips so people can message you on there as well instead of the just videos! Keep the great content coming man!
Nice video have enjoyed all your content, maybe teach how to properly fire a standard wrist strap release. I feel like most newbies gravitate towards those because it seems safer and more close to firing a gun. Thanks.
Harrison, there is RUclips channel “ bow only outdoors “ that has some learning videos on different releases and their set up that WILL ENHANCE AND IMPROVE your shooting. As an old old archer, since 1963, I guarantee you that if you follow this young guy’s advice and commit to only shooting each shot like he shows you will be 100% better off. Within a few hundred shots that you carefully execute it will happen. Don’t go out and start at twenty yards start at 6 feet at a level with your raised drawn bow and then shoot. Close your eyes to learn to feel it. Some take off or cover the sight so as to not try and aim. Aiming is not part of letting the brain learn what you need to do. Proper controlled shot is the most important part of hitting the mark. Aiming part comes later. Good Luck
I’d love to see more videos on back tension releases! Especially geared towards those who are thinking of switching over. One question I have thought of is if I would need to change draw length?
Russell, depends on release neck length, it's hook location in regards to where your index and middle finger land at anchor point location, imo. In the end I didn't change my DL. LOTS of reps blank baling before hitting the 3D range. It's changed the way I shoot!
I've upped my game switching from Index to thumb to now shooting a resistance. My current release isn't made anymore. Found one on the AT classified ads. This Scott is would make a great backup, or who knows, my primary after setting it up. Cheers, Josh.
You still need to know how to use a hinge properly and that’s more than just pulling back correctly. There is finger pressure involved and getting the release to actually rotate properly. You can pull all day and if your finger pressure isn’t correct allowing the release to rotate it’s not firing no matter how hard you pull. Then you see people doing things to make the release fire. You can easily make a hinge fire without actually doing it right.
@@chadcousins2563...I prefer my resistance release over my hinge...right now. I need many, many more reps with my hinge before I get the same results with my Stan R/ LN
Hey I really enjoy your video’s I’ve been watching you from the very start an the biggest problem I see time and time again in your videos is the sound volume Please try and do something about it It’s really hard to hear what your saying unless I’m on my computer And I’m pretty sure me and probably 90% off your subscriber’s watch you on our phones Love all the knowledge you put out there keep up the good work 🍺
Awesome! Been on the fence looking for a back tension release. Currently using a TruFire Harcore release for hunting and target shooting. If I do get this particular release would I have to adjust my draw length on my current setup?
I’m interested in learning, but I thought most people hit themselves when drawing? If that’s the case, how does one learn to draw properly? I can see how the safety allows one to manipulate the release properly.
I feel like a hinge release can still be punched, that pull on your ring finger is manipulating a “trigger”. I started using my thumb button as a hinge and Mr. Shot IQ pointed out the movement in my ring finger that initiated the break. Interested to hear why you like this over the other tension releases like the Silverback.
@@liamboyle9199...exactly. Chris Bee mentioned this when he shot his elk last year. Said he rolled it back, ie, "shoot now"...This is why I prefer my resistance release. You cannot punch or have a mental breakdown with it. It's push/pull until it breaks and has changed the way I shoot.
@@liamboyle9199...oh, man! Give a resistance release a chance. I promise if you set it up correctly you won't punch yourself in the face or short draw fire your bow. Well, I shouldn't say promise😉🤣. My closest shooting buddy said "Oh, no" when I told him I bought a hinge and resistance release. I shoot better than him now! He won't admit it though 🤣
@@brpnw4r94 Thankfully I've been around more then long enough to try one once or twice🙂 Perfectly fine release to train with but a pain in the ass if you shoot fita style events, you combine time limits and wind and you'll think why on earth am I using this😂 there's a reason I can name only 1 high end shooter using one (and she's from the UK)
Can you explain difference from this back tension release and a Backstrap or other back tension releases that use the pressure not rotation. I’m in the market to change from my index release to back tension.
this is a hinge, it fires when you rotate it, that's normally what the thumb peg does on other hinges with no safety - prevent it from rotating when you draw. the backstrap is a pure resistance release, it works off setting it roughly to the holding weight of your bow, then you set the spring inside it a few lbs higher than that and draw with the safety on, anchor, release the safety and pull until you get it to go off. difference is mainly mechanism
Id look into this release and something like a Silverback from Dudley and Carter archery. Main difference is this is a hinge, silverback is back tension with a safety…i hunt with a Nock2It and have Silverback and 2Smooth (hinge) as well. Main reason i like them is because they are all 2 finger style, and have very good weight and all basically exact same jaw position and neck length so they anchor and hit almost identical.
Thanks guys. I have the backstrap and I like it, I think. Only shot it a couple times. I have a big beard and find it tricky to find a good repeatable anchor with a handheld.
Drew...any release can be shot with back tension. Back tension is a method, not a type of release. I've switched from Index to hinge..which I didn't perfect before switching to a resistance. It's upped my game and I'm not looking back. Once set up it's a slight (for me about 6lbs) push/pull..pin locks on and IF your timing and release is dialed in you'll be shooting better than you ever have, imo.
Yeah Josh should really change the name of this vid from back tension to hinge. When ppl use the term back tension (I.e. silverback or carter evolution) when describing a hinge it confuses people.
The UV hinge is difficult because of the longer neck, it shortens to draw length so it makes it tough to switch between releases. I sold both of mine because of this reason.
@@chetmanley2883.. Haven't sold mine "yet" but picked up a resistance, same style/length as my thumb release, and haven't looked back. Keep in mind I probably have 300 or more arrows getting it...and myself, dialed in. I'm shooting better than I ever have.
Ok just started back to archery, bought a new bear legit for 400$ cad. First off of the bat changed the arrow biscuit that was a non sens to me for a quad hdx for 180$... bought a tru ball assassin xt for 100$. I am punching but have a great form... so now I am looking to buy a hinge release and the price is more then i paid my bow? For a starting hinge that I will want to change probably next month when I get the drill!?! That's fn nonsense... hey i annot haiting ! I trust mfjj most! But man! What is up with those release prices!?! Same for a sight that uses a tape! Man! Your in the 480$ cad dollars for a decent one! And the gimmicky ones with the electronics are at 1000$ more or less.. ..
Welcome to archery man! You are going through exactly what I whent through! Same bow! Bear legit, started shooting like a mad dog.. 4x a week 200 to 300 arrows... the bow wasent handling it! Strings started to Frey big time.. so I was saying to myself , I am going to shoot out guys with flagship bows and releases with this bow and prove them wrong! Started changing part on the bow... spended 600$ on string , arrow rest, etc.. that was a mistake. Stuck with that bow and cheap release.. if you whant to hut and shoot one arrow at your animal target. Hey it does the job! Same assassin release, was punching it alot. Bought a really cool Scott verge with a click trigger release.. can't get a proper repetitive anchor with it.. everything is expensive in archery. Arrows ! You don't have the proper one you shoot not so good.. the thing is when you get the proper accessories and bow right. I will last you and serve you right for a long time.. yeah release price are out of mind expensive. I get you! Like buying a 200$ silk tie to go with a 99$ suit that you bought..🤦🤷♂️🎯👊🤟✌️
What's a good price point for a hand held I currently use a index release but would love to make the switch but I can't fathom paying 300 for a release when u can get a good index for 60 bucks ND kill deer every year
@@James.712...many, many reviews on AT. Some love it, and a LOT in classified ads as well. I shot mine for a minute before purchasing a used resistance on AT. I didn't give it time and I tinker a lot so it's found uts way to the bench. It's a tough cookie to swallow in the beginning and takes TIME. A LOT of reps on the blank bale/no sight attached to your bow before heading to a public range. I bet I have 300 or more arrows getting my resistance setup for myself. Lot of target time, wrench time. My brain still hurts. Lol. It can spell disaster If anyone thinks they can master it, or a resistance release with a quiver full of arrows. One thing I can tell you is that it WILL improve your pin float, groups, and score on the 3D range. Get on AT. Find a used one so you don't have to sell your soul on retail.
B3 makes a great hinge. Shooting the regular ghost right now along with a sweet sport and Scott ascent. buy used so if you don't like u can sell for what u paid

Never cared for a hinge, always preferred a resistance like an Evo.

Could the true ball sweet spot be used as a trainer release and then transition to a stand onyx thumb for hunting?
I leaned around 2 years ago on a sweet spot 2 4 finger still have it and won’t let it go was a friend of mines that passed last year before I got it
Very cool. Now you got me thinking
I would love to watch your impression on the Truball Abyss x-tension flex
Would love to see a review on the Ultraview hinge 2

I picked up the previous version of this release from Josh a few years ago. I shot my elk and a black bear using it.

The UV hinge is difficult because of the longer neck, it shortens to draw length so it makes it tough to switch between releases. I sold both of mine because of this reason.

@@brpnw4r94 nice! I think the uv2 is the most comfortable release but the neck threw me off. I ended up with a Scott ascent and love it.
The long neck makes it harder to rotate and math up with a thumb for hunting. Look at the Scott ascent instead

How much does this back tension release cost
Are tru ball handheld releases small or are they the same as most handheld
I am super new to archery. Would you recommend a release like that for someone who is super new to archery?
I have a honey 2, what do you think about that one?
For some reason there is no sound
Have you ever thought about charging for private lessons on Zoom?
Or a person sending in their shooting footage and you critiquing / providing tips.
Could you tell me again name of release look on web site didn’t think I seen it

yeah Nock on backstrap test..!
hinge is just manipulation of fingers..not a true tension release which is the only release that gives feedback
That is a hinge release, it’s rotated by hand. It’s not a back tension
Love MFJJ’s videos, but don’t know why he named this vid BACK TENSION, a hinge is not a back tension. Resistance release = back tension.
Hinge makes you do the movement to use it correctly, resistance can be fired with any kind of tension, which I point out in the video
I heard you hate xpedition bows, mfjj, why?
Kindly disagree. Nothing makes you learn faster then a fist to the face.
Lol😂 I need to go be poor somewhere else😂🤣😅
