This up and down pressure issue is part of why John Dudley uses the two finger release. It’s very hard to be inconsistent with the two finger release.
Sincerely, a great video. An added plus is seeing another left hander . Easier for me to comprehend.
Interesting. I also shoot a thumb button (truball rave) and have experimented with the same exact mechanics. I haven’t noticed nearly as drastic results, but at 20 I have noticed about a quarter inch to half inch low impact variance if I put more pressure in my ring finger. Both neutral pressure and more index finger pressure actually have the same POI for me even out to 100 yds. Crazy to see yours have about a 2” variance high or low at that close of distance
Think the shape of the head on that Stan affects it more than other thumbs? The hook seems to be further down the side of the body than most releases 🤷🏻♂️
I was thinking about this the other day.
That's why I would rather use a four finger or two finger style release. I find both to be more consistent.
Makes a ton of sense. I wonder if it can torque left and right as well. Get a lot of high right action out of nowhere and I figured it was just struggling to find a good anchor with my thumb release. Will shoot a silver dollar group one second bullseye. Then be 3-4 inches high right out of nowhere
I love my stan shootoff TL thumb button release it has all the micro adjust. And it is crisp and clean at the shot. Nice video
Good stuff Kellen. When I first stated shooting a thumb button I struggled with too much ring finger pressure from thousands of shots with a hinge. I worked through it but it would creep in now and then. I decided to give the Nock 2 it a try and found the little nub for the ring finger to be perfect for me. With that release I don’t lose shots low and I don’t pull out of my peep.
what’s up with the website? there is nothing there or I get blue links that have nothing to do with archery??
Thanks for the video. I struggle with this “variance” and now have more insight as to what’s going on. I went from trigger release with great grouping to thumb release with so so groupings.
I am experiencing this exact issue (same release as well). Your release anchor point idea is excellent and I will try it the next time out. Thank You!!
Brilliant. I love little details like this. I like to make a list of 3 details that make the biggest inconsistencies every time I shoot on a posted note, and review it before I sort the next time.
I will have to try it. Thanks!
Excellent vid. Thanks.
Great video and i have not been thinking about this :)
This is SO good! Great stuff Kellen!! Interesting how your thumb and pinky move to the release in perfect unison. I will have try this with my OnneX C.
Good point on this video. Ive taught myself to shoot my thumb release(carter wise choice 3 finger) as almost a hinge style. I draw with the index finger tight and ring finger a little loose, anchor the barrel in the crease of my thumb, then when im ready to start my shot i slowly squeeze my ring finger with my thumb stationary and roll the release slightly until the shot breaks. It has definitely help me with target panic versus a wrist release and punching. At the same time i have not seen any issues with release anchor due to being a repeatable rolling motion as you mentioned with a hinge.
Facts.
Great video man
