the first shot was priceless! i did that last season on a doe on my way out of the woods, it was set at 60 yards from the previous day from practicing. THANK GOD no big bucks came in cause it would have been a nightmare!

@austinmcdonald3407 4 жыл бұрын

I actually killed a doe with one of those I lost my good release and I needed one at that moment to go hunting so I stopped by Walmart and got it

I had one of these back in the 90's and it felt revolutionary to me. Went from finger tabs to one of those on an old Golden Eagle and it was awesome. Super hard on the string though!

@thistledewoutdoors3331 2 жыл бұрын

I too had a Golden eagle with revolutionary recurved limbs & this release was crazy different than shooting a 3tab

I was away from bowhunting for 25 years and looking at getting back in. That release was my first release, and my bow was a PSE Polaris, but I am shocked how everything has changed, not just in design but price!

Exact same thing happened to me about 13 years ago, it came with my (used) bow so I thought it was what everyone used, I was oh so very wrong. (It might have broken because the first time I used it I let go of the whole release instead of pushing the button)

Happened to me. Shooting at 70M, got home, immediately shot at 12M. Forgot to adjust the sight. Was using a fall away. The arrow shot through the scope and blew the lens out. I noticed ONLY after 2 more ends that the scope was soo clear. I wiped it again to admire the swarovski ... and my finger passed /inserted right thru the scope body. Found the ring frame still with attached lens 20m away with just a slight shatter approx 1.5mm dia. I still use the scope to this day.

This release was one of my very first releases when I was a little kid just starting archery. Back then I thought it was the coolest thing to have this release, but when I started growing up & getting better at archery I realized how clunky, brittle, & cheap it felt/was.

@texassportsman5880 2 жыл бұрын

Got one a few days ago used it today the first time. Took a little while to figure it out but after I got the hang of it then smooth sailing. Really like it a lot. Wanted one of those high end releases but it’s gonna have to wait for another day. This one will do fine until then. Great video thank you for sharing…

@thomaswright2030 4 жыл бұрын

I bought a cheap bow on a whim on clearance ($150 bow for $64) to try with my kids. It already had a D-loop so I bought this release on the cheap - we're not hunters or archers, and doing this on the CHEAP for backyard non-screen-time fun. It hasn't failed us yet. It's very tough to put on the d-loop though. If we get more serious I'm sure I'll buy a better release.... and maybe a 2nd bow just for me. :-)

@logancunningham9414 5 жыл бұрын

I had one similar to this when I first started out and I let my friend try it while we were at practice he had a hoyt defiant with a turbo cam 😂it went off in mid draw

@olddragguy 5 жыл бұрын

I bought one of these arrow release triggers that you are testing. I dissembled the unit and shortened the end the lever shaft by .300 of a inch this shortened the distance of thumb movement as well as improved the comfort of thumb position. For the money it works. I don't shoot at tournaments so its fine for me.

@choppedandbobbed9729 4 жыл бұрын

I used one of those for most of my childhood with a lot of success. I even won tournaments with that thing.

@jameshagerman7681 5 жыл бұрын

I used that release before I knew what a good thumb button felt like. I didn't have a dloop at the time and it did okay, until it didn't, then I lost an arrow trying when it went off at half draw.

Was thinking of shooting a thumb release this year, my brother happened to pull one of these out from his oooooold bow box. Got to somewhere around 1/4 draw and it let loose. Tried it a few more times into the ground and it would no way shape or form hold 70lb bow. Works great on my kids tomkat 12lbs bow. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this.

@fessw7335 4 жыл бұрын

Hell yes it's worth $5. I shot that exact release for years. The travel you talk about isnt as bad once some tension is put on the string. The release was never meant for a D loop. It was meant to be attached to the bow string back before loops were used. It's actually a good buy for someone who wants to shoot without spending alot of money. Not everyone has loads of loot. Videos like these makes me sick.

X10's are about $420/12 for the shafts. Add in accessories and it goes to $600+, which makes it $50+ per arrow (based on Lancaster's prices), so he might be exaggerating a little, but not a lot.
