Thumb Release for Compound Bow, Archery Thumb Release Aid - Adjustable Ambidextrous Thumb Trigger Release, 3/4 Finger Options, Aluminum Smooth Compound Bow Release

First, I am an archer who has been shooting on and off for the past 30 years or so. This release design is loosely based on another brand’s Blade Flex Pro but at a quarter of the price. In fact the design is so similar that the exact same set of instructions to set release sensitivity and sear work for this one. I have shot both and I can feel no discernible difference. I group about 2” at 20 yards. Machining is CNC and is clean and precise, with no noticeable flaws of any kind. I have shot literally thousands of arrows with this release and only had to readjust once because I apparently forgot to tighten the adjustment lock screws. Only a review of the Blade instructions and using those to make and lock the adjustments and I was back in business. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a precise, consistent and repeatable release but doesn’t want to drop half the cost of a new bow on the release alone. My setup is a 2021 Diamond Edge 320 with a target sight, VaporTrail Pro V Limbdriver rest, Easton Hunter Classic 400 arrows with Bohning vanes, nocks and points. On average I shoot 60 arrow rounds 3 days a week.

This release is surprisingly good. Nice weight to it. Once trigger weight and travel are adjusted to your liking it feels great, especially for those who like the 4 finger with the pinky extension.

Be careful, this release is dangerous and beyond junk. Dry fired multiple times. $250 in restring and a $30 arrow— I should have just bought reputable name brand. I’ll think about the decision I made when I look at my arm the next 10 years.

Pros- Feels really good in the hand.- Smooth and easy feel when drawing and shooting.- Iridescent color looks great.- Price is nearly unbeatable for what you are getting.- Very comparable style to other high end releases. I own a Carter Wise Choice 24, and this release feels very similar in quality overall.Cons- Came with some minor scratches and some very small machine detailing damage on the "release attachment button." It's very minimal though so I'm still giving it 5 stars. For the price, I definitely recommend.*2/1/23 UPDATE* Shot around 300-400 arrows with this release thus far. Really can't say anything other than I love it.*11/21/23 UPDATE* I have put thousands of arrows through with this release and it has yet to ever have an issue. I'm shooting 70lb draw weight and this release still performs just as well as it did the day I bought it. Idk where the 1 star reviews are coming from, but none of those issues they state about having are anything I have ever ran into with this release.

The release arrived quick and was very well packaged. The release felt good in the hand and had plenty of adjustments to set the sensitivity and grip. I did however, notice a slight grittiness when setting the trigger. I took it apart and applied a few drops of 3-in-1 dry lube to the spring and some of the flat body surfaces that rubs against some of the moving parts (not the sear area). I also replaced the thumb knob with an after market unit for more grip The release breaks very crisp!The release has the same mechanics as the higher end Tru Ball Blade! The major difference is the extra finger loop and the optional pinky finger add-on accessory.Overall I give this release a 4 out of 5, only because it needs a little oil and the long finger loop kind of looks crude, but that’s not a deal breaker. The release I received is on par or better than some of my more higher end releases. As a bonus, I think the internal parts are interchangeable with the Tru Ball Blade release, so if something breaks it’s good to know I can get it back working

I've shot over 400 arrows and this still doesn't need ANY adjustment from my original setup! I'm VERY impressed because I have 2 other big name manufacturer releases and this is now my new favorite! This is VERY precise once you have it configured for your needs!! It's butter smooth and I don't even think of a moon launch with the hard-lock jaws! The instructions are very easy to understand and it comes with all the tools (allen wrenches) AND an adapter to make it a 4-finger! I would NOT hesitate to get another if I needed one.

I have 200 shots through it so far on the stock settings and I love it. For the money. especially when an equivalent release is three hundred dollars, this is great. I like a stiffer release so this works well for me the way it came. It’s adjustable but I think I’ll leave it the way it is. I am getting good groupings at 40 yards and have no complaints. The only thing I did was add the piece to make it a four finger release.

I would recommend this type of release over a wrist strap for compound for beginners. It feels more natural and easier to control for me. Also I've been practicing command vs hinge release with this and the "hair trigger" makes it easy to try hinge as you just have to position your thumb on, but not pressing the trigger and can then just pull through until release. It's good to get used to both to see what best fits you without buying 2 releases.Build quality seems good and I haven't worn out anything yet all season. I had a different mechanical release prior, and the spring inside quickly gave out and wouldn't reset. Hoping this one last longer.Negative one star for not shipping me the right color. I got nothing against purple... but I wanted red to go with my bow. :)
