I think you can adjust the tension of the trigger by tightening the the spring, mine also came with a optional different weight spring for adjusting the trigger plus you can adjust the travel of the trigger as well, i think there a great release and they even give you a couple of decent lengths of d loop Ps some good shooting there man well done.
Hi! I'm lefthanded, is it ambidextrous? Can the thumb barrel be swapped to the other side? Please let me know. Thanks for doing a vid on this as I'm getting fed up with my wrist release and want to try a hand release that's reliable but won't break the bank or my nose and teeth!!
Tried this and tried Carter. This one is piece of crap and you should AVOID cheap ones at all costs unless you want to learn shooting incorrectly. Topoint makes good cheap stuff (using topoint arrow rest and god is it good for $90) but for thumb release you should invest a lot more than $50. If you want to simply put a few shots with it - it's OK. If you want to really learn archery - get Stan or Carter.
@@killintime8431 Well it's been almost a year with my Stan release and it' like a fresh from the box, no need to re-adjust anything. Cheap ones are not so sensitive, tend to shift from your settings and you have to adjust them, and usually are not so reliable. My coach shoots one of the older Carter releases for over 15 years now, no service, no repair. How long will this one last? Where i shoot there are many compound shooters who have years of experience and none of them using cheap chinese releases, some of them had cheap ones and upgraded to better ones, some bought good one after just trying some cheaper and then better release aids. A good release is a big investment, treat it right and it will last years, and it's easier to sell a good one of well known brand than cheaper ones.
@@ThereWasNoFreeName - the Topoint is offered here as a beginners release and it is a good one - i shot just as well with it when I borrowed one from a young fella in the field and I was impressed. Established archery retailers who also sell higher quality gear have very few TOPOINT returns due to failures. So they are not like the cheaper chinese releases purchased on-line thru Amazon, Ebay. Aliexpress - I agree these can be plainly unreliable and dangerous. For sure dearer releases have some qualitative differences, crisper triggers, finer adjustment, better ergonomics, longevity, but reliability is the big factor. But apart from the chinese knock-offs sold on-line a cheaper release DOES NOT necessarily result in less accuracy - and this TOPOINT RELEASE proves that point. I'm a veteran in the archery game - shot many top end styles of releases and I won't mention brands because that would make me a Tosser. You commented this release will make a beginner "learn shooting incorrectly" and "If you want to really learn archery - get Stan or Carter". This is Total Bulls**t. I'm a qualified psychologist, I have coached young archers and been involved with many clubs, so I am familiar with brand snobs. They resent any beginner or more experienced archer stepping up to the peg with a cheap chinese release (or a cheap bow for that matter) then shooting just as well or better than them. The brand snob feels inferior about cheaper equipment and feels the need to justify having a cheaper component on their bow - like an arrow rest. Keeping up with the other brand snobs costs them dearly. They resent someone else shooting accurately and confidently with much cheaper gear and without a care. Given the chance, the brand snob will get in that beginner's ear about the quality of his/her gear and draw attention to their own brands (just like you did in the comments here). Its not the TOPOINT release that's bad for a beginner - its the BRAND WANKERS that undermine a beginners confidence in their gear. They love to spout generalizations and exaggerate differences in quality and they will often tell a beginner "none of the experienced archers use cheap chinese releases" which has nothing to do with how accurate a cheaper release can be in the hands of an archer with more talent than them.

Yes mate its adjustable for left/right and also you can change the trigger position!
highly recommend the transition from wrist to hand!
