good info every time ... shooting a 2 finger from the living room -- thru the French doors -- 30 to 80 yards and back again in snow out back LOL. season never ends when it is always on the mind. Keep up the good work because you are helping the archery community improve. If you want to see some elk ... they are here fore sure.
That tiny little aside about preloading that muscle in your back was huge for me. I felt it right away and can see how I was trying to activate all the wrong muscles to pull through my shot. Thanks John!!
I went through several handhelds and decided to stick with the Silverback and the Nock2it. I swapped the thumb button out for a heavier 3/4” brass knob. I loved the extra weight and the feel of that change. I just wish this thing came with an open hook like the Whisper 2, which I own and the EZ, which I sent back. The open hook would make this the best ever.
green is my favorite color that being said I wish we could get a black gray or silver option. As always, John has the absolute best information on archery explained concisely
Thanks Dudley for all the great education videos on archery. You taught me how to shoot a bow from day 1. Question: what do you do/think about with your front hand? Do you simply keep it steady and pull into it or do you slightly push into the target?
I cannot fix my bow arm shoulder being high, and my shoulders feeling scrunched up. DL is correct, d loop has been lengthen a bit. I’m so lost and struggling feeling comfortable at full draw / backwall.
I’ve never tried a hand held release. Anyone have arthritis and tried one? I’m thinking it would be a problem, but I don’t know. I use Truefire hardcore max wrist strap.
I made the move from Olympic style recurve to compound bow because of arthritis in my fingers, so I could use a release. I shot an index for a short time and then tried a cheap hand held to see if it would work for me. I’ve been shooting a Carter wise choice for about 2 years now without any problems.
Well, as you’ve found out, don’t touch the thumb peg while drawing. I tuck my thumb in behind the button. It’s comfortable. Feel like I have a solid grip on the release and there’s no way that button is going to accidentally move back.
That's all good. But where I live, winter is 7 months a year, and in the warm season in summer, hunting is almost all closed, and in the forest mosquitoes eat open hands, so you still need gloves.This release is good for shooting indoors in white pants and a panama hat, but not for real life.
@@KevinTomlanovich We have minus 20c and a meter of snow in winter, no really warm gloves will fit into this release, and if you suddenly drop it in the snow, you can forget about it and immediately take another one out of your pocket. As it is, a good release just doesn't suit me.
@@ВладимирПрименко-о5бlol dude who are you trying to impress. -20 Celsius is -4 Fahrenheit. We see those temps in the middle of the US, much less the north lol. People kill deer in -10 to -20 late season with a handheld, they just wear a hand warmer. It’s fine if you don’t want to break out of your wheelhouse but don’t use weather as an excuse…..
@@Niko_410 They use such releases because there is nothing else and there is no choice.I also shoot with my bare hand from a shotgun, but before shooting, my hand is in a glove.I need such a release to shoot in mittens and I have such a release. The problem with such releases is that he has to make a high-quality shot and this problem is solvable.

Would like to see this in depth video with a Silverback. As a long time wrist strap shooter, the hand held release is a work in progress.

Another great and appreciated video !!!
Thank you John!!
😊
The silverback broke my target panic, and the nock 2 it turned the page as far as consistency goes

15:00 How to engage the thumb release like a non fumbling person . Thanks JD
Best button release on the market! Love mine!
So appreciate! Thank you for this nock-2-it (similar to the Wise Choice) series!

Loving the Nock 2 it!
Finally a white bow I love it
Love mine.! Best release ever..!
First one watching this vid. Thank you for all your work Sir. School of Nock here.
Jon, this video only uploaded to 480p, just FYI. Not sure if it was meant that way or not.
Is the rotation on the d-loop a problem? Thanks!
Good explanation

Is this release ambidextrous?
Yes the thumb barrel can be switched to either side
Where is the ideal thumb position while drawing. I have accidentally shot my arrow on draw. 20 years index memory. Lol
Watch him closely, he always wraps it around and touches the tip of his index finger with his thumb.

@@robbydallis760he’s asking about drawing, not anchoring.

I have killed several deer wearing gloves with no issues using this release. I’m not sure where you are going with this
