Hi miss. Allie , I have bow hunted for 40 years and have found its such a personal preference ! Whichever one works the best for you is the right one ! Your pup is beautiful and I love her name ! I have a black lab and her name is Abby ! Take care, Joe
No way, that's awesome! Ours is Abbie! Thanks for watching Joe!
Learn to use back tension with all the releases instead of hammering the triggers. You'll become much more consistent.
But you have to admit shes better than 75% of the women archer's out there
Is she though?
stuponfucious7 I’ll correct myself lol she’s better than 75% of women archers *on RUclips
First thing I noticed..... HAMMERING that trigger....
If we don't see the results of the shot how can we judge her technique. I am old school release and don't use caliper but string release onto the bow string and no loop on string. Mutch faster, no look , can knock and shoot arrow blindfolded.
I use a Fletcher .44 Caliper release (buckle). Fired off a couple thousand arrows with it and I love it. Very adjustable for comfort, draw length and trigger sensitivity.
Honestly never heard of it. I'll check it out!
fletcherarchery.com/product/afl117bg/ I am pretty sure that the same company that owns Bear Archery and Trophy Ridge own them now.
the thumb release looks like the winner so far, cute puppy by the way
So far... Thanks!
rating for puppy 11/10. +1 for falling asleep in arms. final score: 14/10!
LOL
Everyone is going to say try a back tension. If you do practice practice practice. The thing with a thumb releases is you have to learn to squeeze your shoulder blades together , which will make you drop your back elbow , which will make your thumb naturally press on the trigger. It takes time to learn. It's all part of form. Once you do though it will improve your shooting drastically
mike nutto Sometimes I’ll use my Mongoose like a back tension release by shortening it up and by using the area between the second and third knuckles of my ring finger on the trigger. Basically engages the same muscles and works off the same principle; only the release mechanism is different.
i love cater release and my favorite is the 3 finger thumb release... there's a lot of top quality release on the market, but carter is my choice, but their price isn't cheap... i shoot the just cuz and the cater attraction release.
if you wanted to better your thumb release shooting, i recommend you start with a back tension... a back tension will make you a better thumb release shooter..i love the nock on by carter.
I'll check it out. That and TRU BALL
Thanks for this been looking at thumb releases so it was cool to see you put emphasis on your anchor point with it, show vs just talk. Have a great new year!
Thanks Tommy! I'm starting to like it alot.
As a finger shooter, I've had very little personal experence with releases. From talking with friends over the years, it seems to me that every one has their own personal preference so I'd say find one that feels good to you and you are confident in when you shoot. Love watching your process for picking new gear.
Thanks Randy!
Stop twisting your d loop with the thumb release. It doesn't swivel like a wrist strap. D loop is the same direction as the string for a reason. 😊
I shoot a Scott little Goose for hunting and a Truball fang for target. Both fantastic releases👌
I'll check them out. Thanks for the suggestions!
I’ve been hunting with the same Mongoose since 1998. It went back to the factory a couple of years after I got it because the trigger loosened up and fell out, but it’s been solid ever since.
The fang 4 is my all time favorite hunting and target release aid!
Great video as all yours are. I noticed you have been using a release from Cabela's that looked like it was made by TrueFire (Hurricane Extreme which is what I use - with the buckle). Puppy is most cute. You started with painted nails, went to no polish, and finished up with painted. Done over three days! Never saw you wear Croqs! Keep up you great work. Very entertaining, you have a great demeanor!
Mike Diodati lol..........
Thanks Mike! I think it took a even longer than 3 days to film lol. This puppy is a hurricane!
Generally would lengthen the draw length with a thumb release, as well possibly longer d-lope because of the twist that would occur without a 360 swivel head. That could affect/make the louder noise! Awesome video :)
Good point. Thanks Hunter!
More Abby, please. She's adorable.
I prefer a thumb release. Currently using a Carter Wise Choice. I also found that I seemed to more accurate with a thumb release.
Im looking at the carter as well.
i'm just getting going, so of course it's a samick sage then i will grab a compound bow in about six month's.. but for now it's all recurve and traditional archery. but this video was still fun too watch especially since i'm a dog person as well as just a general out doors person, hunt, fish, shoot, hike, camp, BBQ... in other words FREEDOM! thanks for posting this.
GET SOME! from SSgt. Calhoun U.S.M.C. (ret) in California...
Thanks for watching Bryan. Thanks for your service as well!
One of the sweetest people and nicest reviews done with a with a smile! In short just a pleasure to watch. Great job in picking 3 very different variations of releases. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
If you have any questions about releases still there is some great videos on RUclips from John Dudley. Greg Poole has one about hand torque. Alpha bowhunting also has one about different release aids also. Good luck finding the right one.
Thanks Chris!
Enjoyed watching the video there. When i used to shoot a compound i used a scott release. Now when i hunt i use a crossbow.
I recently changed from a trigger to a thumb release and now wish I'd done it years ago. My groups tightened up so much I no longer shoot groups because it's costing me too much in nocks and fletchings.
Yep, me to.
Best way for starting a thumb release for me and everyone I help is start to relax your index finger like going to to point it it will make it where you don't hammer it .... or get the hammer thumb release and you will be in great shape 😁😁
Thanks for the tip Demetri!
You bet that's all I shoot is a thumb release for target shoots I loose all form in hunting situations lol hammer the hell out of the trigger hahahaha and a carter quicky for hunting 😁😁 archery life .... you shoot very well it will be a breeze for you to pick it all up
Very thorough, and decisive. Men put their egos first, so it's nice to have a sincere opinion without bravado...
I appreciate you watching!
Yea those thumb releases are clearly more consistent due to the fact that there is no wrist tie. You got sort of a direct connect with a solid release. No stretch.
Those are entry level releases and they work ok, but if you are serious you will want a "Stan" release, I use the "shootoff" . By far some of the best releases out there.
I'll check it out! Thanks!
Tru Fire hurricane is a little bit nicer. Length is adjustable and strapping around the wrist will be consistent
Ya, I wasn't a big fan of this one.
You can adjust the length of the trufire it’s just difficult to get the screw out and move it back
Velcro =/= hunting. I'm big and fidget enough as is, I dont need that sound to add to getting busted.
I just bought the Vapor... trying something different. Your video helped. I already have 3 wrist releases. Cute puppy... hope all is very well !!! Thank You !!!
Glad you liked the video. I hope you enjoy the new release!
You sld be able to adjust the 2 releases by cutting the bolt making it shorter
You need to try the Carter Like Mike. It is a very good finger trigger release. Also try Carter handheld releases.
Thats for the tips!
Allie you gotta try the spott hogg keeton release. Not sure about the majority but I'm loving it!
I'll look into it! Thanks!
I really love yor videos. They always make my heart warm and my soul happy. I don’t know you at all, but never the less I think that your wonderful person makes this world a better olace to live in. I thank you for that. 😉
Thank you! That means a lot!
I have never shot a thumb release but they say they help with target panic and help all round form
Seems to be an accurate assessment.
I shot traditional for 30 plus years then switched to a compound and a THUMB release.
It had no strap and a few times I let go of the release much to my surprise!
Not a good thing the release being shot out through your bow...damage occurs.
The old muscle memory of relaxing the hand was so ingrained.
LOL sounds dangerous!
If you’re going to use a thumb release you need to get one with a rotating head otherwise it puts torque on your D Loop which puts torque on the string which can affect accuracy a little bit
Ok, i'll check that out!
If you go back and look at your video when you are using the thumb release you’ll see how you are Twistin your d loop
I left for a while, but I realized I miss you guys. So I'm back if you'll have me. LOL God is good.
Thanks Mike!
@@OutdoorsAllie Oh, thank you Allie. Love the videos!
You changed your hair, looks great.
The True-Fire is adjustable that's what the hole is for on the strap.
On the thumb release , try and turn your hand so it's not so straight up, this will give you less twisting of the D-loop. Which will give you better groups at longer distance.
It's nice to see you back.
Missed seeing you and Nick.
P.S.
Love the new baby, so adorable
Thanks for the tips Tim!
I want to try a 4 finger release for next season! 👍
ohhh and the puppy , whhhaaaahhh
LOL she's a nut
I think u r onto something with the thumb release, u have relatively a thin hand & fingers like I do. I wasted alot of $$$ on different thumb releases until I settled on a Stan SX3 which u can get in like 3 or 4 sizes & it fits my hand like a glove. Would love 2 see the reaction on your face the 1st time u fire an arrow with a Stan, u will never look back.
Thanks Joe, I'll be sure to check it out!
Cute puppy great job on the the release demo.
Thanks Ron!
Noob question here: What is it called when she has her palm facing outward when using the thumb release? Is that a different style to draw upside down?
Its just called a thumb release. The heads on the usually swivel.
@@OutdoorsAllie thanks for the reply Allie, and yeah I know it’s that thumb release specifically in this case, but I’m wondering if that style of shooting has a name. I’m a filmmaker and I may be writing a character who shoots like that. It may not even be remotely viable without the thumb release I don’t know, but as all screen action goes, if it looks cool, then it works
i use the Trufire smoke. Way more adjustment and buckle strap.
I'll check it out!
If Scott still makes it, you should try the Little Goose release. Very easy to adjust and personalize as far as length in hand and trigger.
I'll take a look. Thank you!
Ok, It's name is Lil Bitty Goose. I believe they have two with similar names, my mistake.
You can adjust the length just tight in the bolt and it will make it shorter
Your form looked best with the Vapor , just my 2 cents .
Thanks for observing!
Nice one Al over here our Amazon is cap for archery gear lol great stuff and happy new year
Damn, that sucks. Happy new year!
The hot shot release didn’t last forever and I honestly have to say. Everyone should just save up for a solid button release if you are going that route. I have a stan button thumb release and is worth every penny. The index release have some great ones if you spend the extra cash for a better one.
I agree.
Looking good
I shoot with a cheap Walmart Tru Fire release nothing special.!. I am however very interested in changing to a thumb release because I've heard nothing but good things about them so if you could do a video about some thumb releases that would be amazing.!. You already know I'm going to be watching.!. 💙🏹🦌
Thanks Janae! They're super awkward at first, but it's starting to grow on me!
I have the hotshot dont care for it i dont know if i hit the trigger or if the release malfunction on a couple occasions and hot shot has worse customer service
Dang, thats unfortunate.
Can someone please figure out a way to breed labs that stay that small. That would be amazing. Love em.
get the Tru-Fire Hardcore Buckle Foldback Wrist Release you cant go wrong with it i shoot it myself and won many tournamets with it last year its a very good one for target,3d and hunting
I'll check it out!
good choice @@OutdoorsAllie i got it course the ex national Trainer of the Litauen national Team told me to try it out and i must say it was a great tip and i realy love it its a leather buckle by the way and you can get that Release in Black or Realtree Camouflage
Enjoyed It !! I recently went to another type of release , Trufire Hardcore .. took me a while but I really like it . Not a Caliper release // Love the direction of this video ! Best Wishes
Thanks for watching. I'll check out the Hardcore.
Enjoyed the video. it's nice to see you back was worried about y'all....
Just busy with the new clothing brand!
Outdoors Allie I hope the clothing brand is going well I really like what I have received especially the ball cap love them
Anchor the release where your fingers split around the neck of release to your jaw line. That may help
Thanks for the tip James!
As usual, loved your video. Beautiful pup. Thanks for sharing. You and Nick have a Happy New Year.
Thanks Jerry. Happy new year!
Pup is way to cute !
Abbie is the best!
I don't shoot bows, but I watch all of your videos anyway :)
You should try!
I wouldn't even know where to start! I'd have to find an archery place near Seattle.
I don't know what's going on Ali I am subscribed but this video never showed up I had to go hunt for it love the puppy
Isn't she great!?!
I tried a thumb release once when I got my first compound bow, & immediately went & bought a trigger release, as it drove me nuts, like if you’ve ever put a left glove on the right hand? Like creepy weird!
LOL ya I can understand.
Can't seem to part with my Scott Little Goose. Abbey is cute!
Ive had a couple people say that about the little goose. Im going to check it out!
Oh my Lanta
I like the idea of more release and other archery reviews.
Cool, i'll do some more!
I noticed you punched all 3 , with your thumb release you are not supposed to manually use the thumb button as much as your are supposed to use back Tension
I shoot a tru ball short n sweet now. I'm looking switching to a Nock On nock 2 it.
I've heard great things.
7:20 ... your hair is ON POINT!
LOL thanks Jim
Man, I was thinking the same thing. Like she just got home from a fancy Christmas party or something.
did you notice anything as far as feeling like your draw length was different when using the thumb release as opposed to the wrist? been using a wrist release for 20 years and just got a carter target 3, but have not tried it yet.
Yes, the thumb button will make your draw feel longer.
Hi allie n nick happy new year. ..hope yours was great. Did you get any more venison? ???
Great first video of 2019...this should become a very multi part series. .. just wanted to say hi n wish you a hny
Happy new year Curt! No more venison yet, but we still have some time.
Should be a video of cheap, mid, and high end THUMB releases, and the same video with 3 wrist style ones...
I'm into target shooting so the Truball Boss X will be my next release.
I'll check it out!
thumb release aids and back tension will help you become a better archer.
Working on that this yea !
Happy New Year Allie!
Happy new year Mike!
You need to go to a pro shop and have them show you how to engage your back when shooting and don’t keep your fingers tight and not out and loose you will be much more consistent. Also the heavier the trigger it will make you engage and more consistent
Happy Nude Year Too You And Nick. All the Best too You Both. Regards Bruce McKay 🇦🇺🙃🏄♂️.
Happy new year Bruce!
OMG PUPPY
The more resistance on the trigger the more accurate it prevents you from slapping the trigeee
Super cute puppy
Thanks Nate!
I have the camo version of the tru fire.Dont buy it ok save money and get a better one.I messed up when I bought it thinking"Just because it's a tru fire it willl be great...wrong".The scott in this video I have a feeling that the releases of this year are better.
Im sure they are
@@OutdoorsAllie 👍
Thanks for the review! And Allie just so you are aware I would have liked the video anyway cause of awesome content. Putting a cute little puppy
LOL thanks Tex!
Carter Nock On Mini Silverback!
Thats up next!
Lol.. I just got a new thumb release.. my other wore out .. almost 200 bucks
I just ordered a thumb release also.
Tru Ball
Merry Xmas and happy new year to ya both 🇨🇦🦌
Merry xmas Jason!
Are these type of archery rests accurate?
Very! HHA is my favorite.
@@OutdoorsAllie thanks have a good one
I think the releases you tested are pretty much junk. You get what you pay for! Trigger movement will lead to shot anticipation and target panic. I prefer the Carter releases! High quality! Yeah>> Don't hammer that trigger! Pull through the shot!
Agreed.
You look so cute in a hat another great video thank you
I'm a target shooter &,..... I'm still waiting for my backordered Truball Boss X,.....still😭👍🏹
Nick loves his.
U shoot left hand and right hand wish I started left hand I'm left eye dominate and shoot right handed. YIKES
I was the same for the first 25 years, but about a year and a half ago I switched to left handed. You should give it a shot, with a little bit of practice you'll be better for it. :)
Spott hog and Stan 👍
355 Cutlass I shot a stan thumb release and the thing misfired on me twice! I didn't even have my thumb remotely close to the trigger and it let two arrows go. I'll always stick with tru ball
I highly doubt that you or anyone else had a Stan release miss fire. I have been shooting a Stan release for fifteen years and never had a miss fire. Your ether hitting the thumb button or don’t have the release setup correctly.
355 Cutlass I gave it to the tech and it did the same thing to him, buddy. This wasn't my first rodeo with a thumb button either.
Your just not use too a button release I suppose. Everyone has there own preferences, you can set the Stan up to where it’s not a hair trigger. Maybe you tech needs to visit stans website?
355 Cutlass bro stop dismissing what happened! Products fail. I've been shooting thumb buttons for over 6 years. Just accept the reality of what happened and move on.
get a nock2it or silverback and you'll never want to shoot anything different
I'm going to have to try it!
scotts
I hear tornado sirens in the background?
Great video, I am just getting into bow hunting but I am left handed. Do the releases come in left handed or work both ways?
They are ambidextrous.
Great review. What bow are you using during the reviews?
This is a mathews avail
Our season ended Jan 1 st here
Dang, thats unfortunate.
About time you did another video. Very nice comparisons and honest opinion. Cute dog!!!
Thanks Ken!
Allie Nick!!!
I really hate velcro, when i first get in my tree stand, after getting all set up last thing i do is put on my release, and adjusting it , pulling it back up, for some reason the velcro sounds 10x as loud in the dark and feels like i'm spooking all animals within a mile from me, not a good feeling
Super annoying. I think it is used so often because it is cheap.
What bow are you shooting in this?
Mathews avail.
great Video. Which bow do you shoot ? Cheers
Thanks Phil. This is a Mathews avail.
Love your hair, looking like that!!!
