I'd love to see a wrist strap release comparison breakdown on adjustability, tension, travel, length, position of trigger to jaw, the common things you bring up. Love the content and learning all the details from you.
I would really like to see some more "how to" videos. I'm really trying to teach myself how to work on my v3x. Bought a press from you and used your video to change the strings and cables. Got it all timed good, but I'm very interested in learning some different tuning practices. Great stuff!
Glad you reviewed this release. Trying to figure out to switch back to thumb or stay with index for hunting and really interested in this release. Also glad you said your going to review Stan axis and B 3 thumb with wrist strap. Also interested in them
Dude I freaking love your knowledge and you for sharing it, I mean it sounds simple but you just really made me understand what I been having to nod my nose a lil I never did before but I also tried to move my anchor point for more distance and just want sure why I feel outta wack at times and at times not. Man if I could win one of these ten bows I will just feel like I winner being able to come out and learn from you while your settin me up lol I mean it's a possibility I'll keep hopen
I think the trigger itself can be set in two ways where the curve is either into the finger or away from it. There should be some screws on the side that you can unscrew and flip the trigger around and it should provide a more forward feel as you mention in the beginning of the video.
Josh, love the frequent content and collabs with Tim. I know you’ve had a sort of transformation over the last year. This new Josh is so much more relatable then the old Josh. Keep it up. The content is awesome.
I seen in a recent video that you liked the Carter Back-strap. Well, that being the case, you would love the Carter 2 Shot! They’re almost identical profiles to each other. I’ve started using the Back-strap as a practice tool just recently and shooting 3-D with my 2-Shot. There has been a great improvement lately in my shot execution. The 2-Shot is an inexpensive tried and true platform that has been around for decades. Give it a try and give us some feedback on your thoughts. I already have mine but would love to hear yours!
Buddy I’ve heard you talk a lot about how you really like Bowtech. Im surprised to see you wearing so many Hoyt shirts. Not that they are a bad company. Im just surprised I’m seeing it so much. Lol. Great video as always. I enjoy shooting a thunb release but I’ve had shoulder surgery which causes pain because of how a thumb release is held at the anchor point. Trigger releases isn’t my favorite but seems to be best for my shoulder.
After shooting with a hinge for a while my brain won’t allow me to punch the trigger anymore. Recently threw the b3 hawk index back on and have been shooting Amazing with it decided to go back to an index. I think I’ll be picking up the s2 looks like an awesome release.
Wondering if you guys use lenses when you shoot those long distances in some of your other videos. Wouldn’t mind seeing some reviews on what you use and some setups for different scopes in a 3d target scenario. Or maybe my eyesight is just bad and nobody uses them I don’t know.
Looks dang near identical in style and function to the T.R.U. Ball Execution. I've got one and it's a sweet trigger release. Very comparable in function to the Carter Like Mike and Like Mike II as well. Would be interested in comparing the S2 to the Execution side by side.
Is that why I feel like I’m off to the side more than inline with my new Carbon one with the short 30” ATA? Maybe 2” makes a bigger difference than she claims!🤣
Spot hog wise guy or Scott hook releases . I don’t like the weird tension releases so I can’t give you advice on that but I know Scott has some like that I prefer a trigger to pull
I heard you can adjust the trigger position so its closer to head or further back for depth. Maybe it comes in furthest back setup, interesting take that i havent seen on a finger release. How do you like the reseting of the hook design?
Scott talon, single sear, comes with two different springs, adjusts from light to heavy-heavy. $100 Wish the post was shorter, ( I also have larger hands, so it should be designed shorter), otherwise its great
I had the scott jaws and kept pinching the dloop in the back of the jaw, which would make it go off on the draw. I now have the scott ghost very different to the jaw. What is the comparison to the s2
I have both and the execute. The are all so close to each other but the execute feels like a heavy duty piece of gear because it's made from brass and it came with multiple springs where the execution did not. One thing josh messed here was confusing the TWO tension adjustment screws with one of them being for travel. The s2 has a travel adjustment and two springs for tension. It helps to read instructions even when you own a proshop
@Jordan Powell agreed, saw a UA-cam video about the wiseguy (not from josh) and he said there wasn't any adjustments at all. Like yes there is I have one. I was going to order the execute but couldn't find anyone that had one in stock at the time I ordered the execution. Was think of the verge but the reviews where all over the place, some said they loved others said it was a pos and broke. And didn't want to spend 140$ to find out. Have you tried the Scott verge by chance
@Sparky513 I haven't tried the verge but coincidentally enough was considering it recently but ended up buying the scott longhorn hex I believe is what it's called. It's essentially the same thing but more closely resembles a hinge. My only complaint about it is the amount of tension required for it to fall off the moon and fire when the amount of travel is increased is pretty substantial. If that isn't the case with the verge I would like a lot.
Stan used to offer a sear and a half mechanism in the xtinction (discontinued). They were also going to release the strike x last year, but for some reason it never came to market. Any thoughts on why it made it to ATA, but was canned for production? Keep up the great content!
That passed me off. Lancaster took orders for them and the whole nine. I know there were some people that had issues with the xtinction which probably had a lot in common with the strike x. Never seen an explanation though
@@jordanpowell228 People had issues with the stan xtinction due to the reverse hook. If you don't draw your bow straight back the hook can/will slide off the dloop. I've been using the xtinction for years and never had an issue because I'm aware of the fact if I pull at an angle it can slide off. You just have to be cognizant of it. Other than that, it's a FANTASTIC release and my favorites amongst the 5 or so I rotate. I'm as accurate and repeatable with it as my hinge and thumb types. I mainly do all my practice with the same release I hunt with but switch up in the offseason to try new things. I'll have to research that strike x.
I used to be a Scott release guy always. I still have my silver horn I love it all these years later. However I bought the spot Hogg wise guy and it’s the best decision I ever made my wife has been using hers for years and I ended up copying her lol I hunt az so spot and stalk no tree stands and real fast paced shots when they come so I prefer a wrist strap and I don’t like the “ tension” style I like a trigger I can calmly pull through
Fair warning the wise guy comes super hot on the trigger I like to turn it out a turn or 2 so I can get my finger positioned without it just firing lol
No. The spot Hogg is a single sear design meaning the amount of tension to make it fire will vary by the poundage of bow you shoot. Think of this as a mini hand held thumb button, they operate the same way
Not so interested in a test of any specific release. I'm just watching these vids to see whether you end up hitting yourself in the face - that would be entertainment gold right there 🤣😏
Thank you Josh as always your right on the money with the information on the product I like the caliper style

Nice tips to ajust a finger release! 🎯👌👍👊
I bought one, love it. FYI the squeak is gone after a couple days of shooting.
There's two screws with springs and one for travel on the opposite side of the release. It's just as good as anything on the market
I think the trigger itself can be set in two ways where the curve is either into the finger or away from it. There should be some screws on the side that you can unscrew and flip the trigger around and it should provide a more forward feel as you mention in the beginning of the video.
After switching to a thumb button 5 or so years ago I can't get comfortable with an index anymore.

Stan Extinction 2.. been using it for years. It also has a reverse hook.
I think you would like the Scott talon. I believe you have them in stock.
Would like to see a Carter Like Mike II review. Thanks for the great content!
That's the best of the best in my opinion. I probably won't be trying anything else anytime soon.
After shooting with a hinge for a while my brain won’t allow me to punch the trigger anymore. Recently threw the b3 hawk index back on and have been shooting Amazing with it decided to go back to an index. I think I’ll be picking up the s2 looks like an awesome release.
Hey Josh why you like the trigger do heavy man. Great videos man.
u da man mfjj. TY for the solid content day in and day out
Tru-Fire Synapse Hammer Throw Bow Release back to hand releases I also use the Sigma
Sigma
I’m pretty sure both screws adjust the tension.
Great review as always! Any chance you plan on reviewing the Stan Solex? I’ve been eyeballing it.
The Trufire Exert is another double sear index release
Wondering if you guys use lenses when you shoot those long distances in some of your other videos. Wouldn’t mind seeing some reviews on what you use and some setups for different scopes in a 3d target scenario. Or maybe my eyesight is just bad and nobody uses them I don’t know.
Can you review chronographs and the maybe how they get you closer to a specific sight tape
Looks dang near identical in style and function to the T.R.U. Ball Execution. I've got one and it's a sweet trigger release. Very comparable in function to the Carter Like Mike and Like Mike II as well. Would be interested in comparing the S2 to the Execution side by side.
Is that why I feel like I’m off to the side more than inline with my new Carbon one with the short 30” ATA? Maybe 2” makes a bigger difference than she claims!🤣
As mentioned above in the comments, any likelihood of reviewing the Scott Verge handheld release. It is an interesting one.
I'm considering giving an index release a try, I've only shot a thumb button.
Spot hog wise guy or Scott hook releases . I don’t like the weird tension releases so I can’t give you advice on that but I know Scott has some like that I prefer a trigger to pull
That is the type I use, older version
Fairly sure Tru Ball do/have done a sear wrist strap, used to know a target shooter using a "target sear", was not an inexpensive hunting release !
I heard you can adjust the trigger position so its closer to head or further back for depth. Maybe it comes in furthest back setup, interesting take that i havent seen on a finger release. How do you like the reseting of the hook design?
Scott talon, single sear, comes with two different springs, adjusts from light to heavy-heavy. $100 Wish the post was shorter, ( I also have larger hands, so it should be designed shorter), otherwise its great
Good info, I believe my release is too long! I like the way you involved your crew in the bow review video!!!
Random question, but is that a javelina mount above your bench and light?
Scott talon. I just got one. I thought it was new. It was new to me but it’s the same thing pretty much
That was my issue with the nock-2-it was I couldn’t set it heavy enough. Carter even sent me a another spring and I still didn’t like it
I have a Blackout Archery finger release from Bass Pro Shops. This release is made by Scott. I love it it!
you referred to it at the beginning but didnt talk about change in anchor, string position compared to hinge or thumb you normally shoot
Nock on archery Backstrap release , wrist strap release activated by back tension
I had the scott jaws and kept pinching the dloop in the back of the jaw, which would make it go off on the draw. I now have the scott ghost very different to the jaw. What is the comparison to the s2
Try out the tru ball execution!!!!!!!! You'll love it guaranteed, hands down best index on the market today

Name of the target block you're shooting into?
You forgot the original fletchomatic!!! That thing was crisp
seeing it a lot in the comments, look at the carter wrist straps! like mike 2 super heavy is really intriguing as someone who also likes a heavy index

Have you tried the Scott Solus realis? Greetings from Serbia.
What are the pros and cons of a lighter index vs a heavier one?
I think it's more personal preference
So MFJJ… are you still shooting back tension with that release??
The scott verge is one I'd like to see reviewed sometime
Ya right Josh. Hahah
That will be the day you go back to a wrist release..
Psshh
Never!!!!
Stan xtinciton 2 has similar features and only $80.
I knew the problem was my big nose and squatty face 🤣 😂
I might be dumb .. but isn't the spot hogg wise guy similar?
I used to be a Scott release guy always. I still have my silver horn I love it all these years later.

I have a UV hinge and have shot several thumb buttons. I, too always return to my wise guy.. trigger puncher for life! Lol
Fair warning the wise guy comes super hot on the trigger I like to turn it out a turn or 2 so I can get my finger positioned without it just firing lol
No. The spot Hogg is a single sear design meaning the amount of tension to make it fire will vary by the poundage of bow you shoot. Think of this as a mini hand held thumb button, they operate the same way
@@jordanpowell228 The Carter Like Mike II is the way to go for consistent pull weight that is rifle-like.
Steve Hanh from Archery Supplies in Australia should watch this. He punched himself in the face
Please look at the truball excution
Not so interested in a test of any specific release. I'm just watching these vids to see whether you end up hitting yourself in the face - that would be entertainment gold right there 🤣😏
I have done that. Gave myself a black eye . I tell.everyone my wife kicked my ass
