Tim, I bought a Stan SoleX based on your first video. I love it and sold my more expensive "high-end" releases. After around 1,500 shots with no issues, I plan on buying another, but they are out of stock in most places right now.
Got mine for Christmas this year after seeing your initial review months prior. Haven't gotten to hunt with it yet, but so far love the feel of it. The wrist strap isn't the most comfortable, but I love how I was able to turn up the tension to help with my form. Thanks for showing us a great affordable option on a great piece of gear!
I was shooting the carter quickie plus for years, saw your video about the stan solex and now it's my main release. So far it's the most consistent index release I've shot. Thanks Tim, you're content is great!
Purchased this due to your recommendation from original video. Absolutely loving it so far and getting others on board with it as well. Awesome to hear about longevity of release
@@devinbehrens9931 I bought the one from TRUGLO and it already comes with a strap ( what’s dangling from the wrist strap like the one in Tim is showing) take the release off the old one and put on the new one. Hope that helps.
I have been through at least 4 releases in 3 months and couldnt get comfortable or accurate with one. Been contemplating buying the Solex since your first video with MFJJ. Finally did and it instantly tightened my groups. Absolutely love it. Great choice. Thanks for the recommendations.
Dude ur soooo underrated ur camera quality is sooo nice! U know how to capture the cool angles, ur humble just about every thing that makes for a good video
I bought my first bow last month and I’m loving it. Did my first 3d shoot over the weekend and cant wait for the next one. Wish the scene in Tri-cities was as good as what I’m seeing in Spokane. I’ll definitely be heading up there in the future. Subbed and keep up the good work.
Bought the solex because of you a few months back, absolutely love it and will probably buy an onnex soon. Solex has a crispy trigger and it shoots just like the day I pulled it out of the packaging and shot my first arrow with it. Very satisfying release. Very adjustable too
Scott Talon. Love how you can spin the strap and fold the release back, and it stays out of your way on the back of your hand,but is able to get back into action in seconds. So I wear it all day when hunting.
Great video. Working on year 6 with my Spot Hogg Wise Guy. Love it for all the points you made but the biggest plus is the Wise Guy’s detent that locks it out or back by your forearm. Keep up the great work!
Already subscribed big dog, I just picked up my first bow ever, a diamond infinite edge pro. I am going to be documenting my journey on my channel,thank you for all your doing. Tight lines brother🤙🏻
Great review Tim that is a really good release and if it works for the person that buys it that is using it to shoot with and it has no problems that’s all that matters. Keep up the awesome reviews Tim.
been shooting a few different releases over the last few years. still trying to figure out what I like best. Definitely been leaning towards thumb. But starting on index always has a place in my heart! Great Video!!
I’ve been shooting a Fletcher Flathead since it came out. But it’s no longer available. This release has been on my radar as a replacement. Appreciate the review. Also, nice to see someone practice with a full quiver.
Bought the solex in this offseason after watching your first video. I really prefer it over the backstrap I was using, but didn’t care for the strap. Not sure why it didn’t occur to me before you mentioned replacing the strap, but I just swapped it with the boa that came on the backstrap and it made it way better for me.
I shoot a tru ball beast xt and I love it! Hook style index release and you can adjust the positioning of the trigger as well as the tension. It was $105 when I bought it almost 2 years ago
I tried Scott’s and was settled on using the Wiseguy until I saw you guys talking about this. I’m in Alberta, but had to order from LAS. Coming from the firearms side, I’m used to having some “creep” in my trigger. My only negative is the barrel adjustment. That tiny set screw doesn’t hold well and frequently works it’s way loose. I’m a strong proponent of “One is none, two is one”, so I will be purchasing a second unit in the future.
Been trying to buy this from MFJJ for like a month! Gotta get that thing back in stock. Thanks for the content! Learning a lot about archery and equipment.
Probably 5000+ shots on my Solex since Dec 2022. Nothing has beat it yet. I don’t buy the strap being cheap. Has held up just fine, and it looks like yours is doing just fine.
If you listen to Tim Gillingham a index is more forgiving because it keeps everything in a straight line and after shooting other types I would agree and when you learn to to control it is a game changer as well.
I looked into the B3 hawk and it had so many bad long term reviews. After about 9 months to a year they would start releasing on the draw and people were punching themselves in the face. I was planning on going with a Solex after watching your other video, but found a stupid deal on a Scott Legacy and so far so good. As always, love your videos.
I started shooting this release about a year and a half ago . Coming from pretty good release in a scott little goose… i have to say this release is best index ive ever used . Once you get used to the strap attachment, which only took me about 3-4 shooting sessions….. i think anyone who tries this release will agree it is the best
Stan Xtinction 2! I’ve bought 4, 2 for me and 2 for my brother. Discontinued but eBay had some. It’s an amazing release! I also do not like the buckle so I bought the truglo boa and use those! Won’t go back. I may buy more just to have multiple backups. Lol
I've been itching to get this release, especially from your previous video. However, due to the nature of my work, I couldn't swing it at the time (seasonal work and my first baby in August). I can now purchase it, but it seems to be sold out at all "reputable" online retailers (Podium, Lancaster, etc). Seemed to be for a month or so. Do you know anything about this? Possibly a revision or backorders? I want this release to practice before Tac season. Thanks Tim. 100k here we come!
One thing I would recommend is to not get lazy about adjusting the strap length how ever many times it takes to find the very best results for YOU. I’m OCD about all my hunting gear and probably shot a hundred arrows and made multiple multiple strap length adjustments. Get it correct so you never punch it-never. I’m super impressed with this release I bought from SVA with Tim’s 10% off. 👍👍
I shoot a NockOn nock2it. Or a Stan Onnex depending how I feel that day. Come to Total Archery Chalenge in San Antonio let’s have a shoot off and have some fun!
Just started shooting this past season using a cheap Blackout index. Need to upgrade and keep seeing a lot of good options like this one, the Wise Guy, and Quickie. Curious if you just choose one and go trial by fire to find your favorite? I'm definitely a budget archer so I don't have hundreds to kick around using different releases. Any additional thoughts on this? Thanks Tim!
What is the target made of that you’re shooting into? Looks like stacked horse stall mats hopefully I’m correct cause I got a bunch I’ve been meaning to use.
Hey Brother. I'm currently using a Tru-Fire Smoke Max. But, I will be upgrading it soon. Only because, even at its shortest adjustment, it is just not the right length for me to get my finger wrapped around the trigger. I am considering a Scott Echo because of it being the strap style adjustment. I know you don't like the closed jaw releases, I just feel more confident that once I clip on, it wont come off of the loop. Have you shot the Echo? And if so, did you like it?
I have a ? And can’t seem to get an answer never shot a compound bow but want to over 50 and can’t seem to get a good answer what kind of bow should you get to just shoot in the back yard want to keep it under a grand out the door
Also would like to say watched a lot of your videos and your partner in crimes love both you guys you make it look fun and learn a lot about specific things keep it up🤙
Took 9 minutes n 37 seconds before you said the name of the release. I have a Tru fire hardcore on a boa that is going on 8 years n I shoot year round with it 65 bucks
i have been shooting the same scott wildcat for 15 maybe 20 years hook release more accurate BS single gaw just as accurate and it stays hooked to the bow while your waiting on stand but you out west guys would not know about that . PS that why 10% of the hunters kill 90% of the game.
Not true that a caliper release is less accurate. It is more accurate but you need to squeeze not pull the trigger. The release you have there requires the string to roll out thus causing your arrow to wiggle side to side at the target. Switch to the cobra caliper and your arrow won't wobble and ranch fairy will be much happier with that. This vid here is nuts. ua-cam.com/video/fMFKse-SHGM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
just cuz I was being cheap at the time I picked up a truglo nitrus with the boa strap in 2018. there is now over 5000-10000 shots on that baby and still shoots like the day I bought it. never in my wildest did I think it would make it this long. and sorry I had to unsubscribe because B-Mac told me too........jk
i have a stan solex, freaking love it, no complaints at all!
Glad to hear it ✊
Tim, I bought a Stan SoleX based on your first video. I love it and sold my more expensive "high-end" releases. After around 1,500 shots with no issues, I plan on buying another, but they are out of stock in most places right now.
Spot Hogg Whipper Snapper is amazing for its price.
Its a hand held with a crisp clean release. Closed head for hunting
3 and 4 finger
Always like watching your content, you are the type of person that don’t follow hype, I admire you for that.

I bought one a while ago because of you and Josh. Changed the wrist strap to a Boa and couldn’t any happier. 👍🏾
How did you change the strap? The one it comes with seems pretty uncomfortable so far.
@@devinbehrens9931 I bought the one from TRUGLO and it already comes with a strap ( what’s dangling from the wrist strap like the one in Tim is showing) take the release off the old one and put on the new one. Hope that helps.
@@devinbehrens9931 …. I went with TRUGLO and just took off the release itself
I have been through at least 4 releases in 3 months and couldnt get comfortable or accurate with one. Been contemplating buying the Solex since your first video with MFJJ. Finally did and it instantly tightened my groups. Absolutely love it. Great choice. Thanks for the recommendations.

I just ordered the release earlier today! I'm excited to use it! Thank you for the honest review!

there is a 3D shoot in Leweston Id. this weekend Feb. 10-11.

Awesome ✊
Just bought a bow press and draw board from Josh. Used your code. Thanks for the deal Timmy.
Thanks my dude
Absolutely freaking love the Stan Solex!!! Best release I've ever used me coming from Spot Hogg Wise Guy.
Scott Talon. Love how you can spin the strap and fold the release back, and it stays out of your way on the back of your hand,but is able to get back into action in seconds. So I wear it all day when hunting.

Ready for the onnex click to have the attachment point like the Axis🙏🏻
I agree with you on the index style release. I like the fact that it is always inreach for getting off quicker shots. I've aways shot with an index.
Already subscribed big dog, I just picked up my first bow ever, a diamond infinite edge pro. I am going to be documenting my journey on my channel,thank you for all your doing. Tight lines brother🤙🏻
Great review Tim that is a really good release and if it works for the person that buys it that is using it to shoot with and it has no problems that’s all that matters. Keep up the awesome reviews Tim.
Picked up a bunch of arrow build supplies from MFJJ, thanks for the code, content you put out!
Subscribed, and just bought one to try out this year. I’m stoked!
been shooting a few different releases over the last few years. still trying to figure out what I like best. Definitely been leaning towards thumb. But starting on index always has a place in my heart! Great Video!!
Love the solex. Finally found one at Lancaster. Love the adjustability. And we need an update on your bow legs. Those look nice
I was going to purchase a Spot Hogg wiseguy release ($135), but after watching this video I'm sold on the Stan SoleX. Thanks Tim!
Just bought one on your recommendation but haven't had a chance to try it yet. Definitely looking forward to it

I bought this release maybe a month ago after watching your videos. I think it's a great release for the money and I really like it
I have a Stan Xtinction and love it

Got same one and a Carter wise choice. Both are fantastic

Been rocking the same fletcher index release since ‘06!
You always have great enjoyable content. May you reach 100k subscribers soon enough! Good luck!
100% love mine with the nock on wrist strap with boa
Started using/trying the Stan Axis…New to thumb types and like it! 👊🏻
Thanks bud I've been looking for a new release I'll add this to my list! great video as always!
My G ✊
Hot shot impetus! Hook style, adjustable trigger and lifetime warranty! Can’t beat it

that stan has a sear like a rifle trigger
get hold of pete crawford at stan he'll tell you
What's the basis for saying a clamp style is less accurate?

Thanks Tim ✊
I use a Jim Fletcher Fletch Hook. Very similar release, but I agree the hook is more accurate than the caliper style.
I’m on the wagon to 100k!
I've been on the wagon for 30 years!👍
Hi Tim, how about a review on the Hoyt Go-Stix you are using? Great idea thinking about trying one on my Solution SS.
Try a Trufire Hardcore. Been shooting one for years. Had several stan thumb buttons including the onex and i keep going back to my hardcore.
I order the CM hard stem. It shows that it is adjustable
Just purchased 2 from Podium 😉
I would like a review on the B3 Rook or Pro Hawk.
The tru ball short n sweetr has been good for me
Have you ever seen a release where you hold the trigger back and then release it to fire?
Run the Stan extinction 2 and Love it!
I shoot a NockOn nock2it. Or a Stan Onnex depending how I feel that day. Come to Total Archery Chalenge in San Antonio let’s have a shoot off and have some fun!
Just started shooting this past season using a cheap Blackout index. Need to upgrade and keep seeing a lot of good options like this one, the Wise Guy, and Quickie.

Any additional thoughts on this? Thanks Tim!
True Fire hardcore is pretty sweet.
I have the Stan xtinction 2 which I believe is the older version of the solex but biggest con is you have to recock it every time
What about the spot hogg tough guy? Have you tested or used that? It has a hook and an adjustable solid connection.
What is the target made of that you’re shooting into? Looks like stacked horse stall mats hopefully I’m correct cause I got a bunch I’ve been meaning to use.
You need to come to seven springs PA total archery challenge
I’d like to know why the clamp trigger releases are less accurate?
Love the release but not the strap. Swapped it for the TruGlo universal BOA and it's NOICE.
Hey Brother. I'm currently using a Tru-Fire Smoke Max. But, I will be upgrading it soon.

Where is the best place to buy one that has them in stock?
Party with animals……..love it haha 😂
What’s your shoes if you don’t mind me asking 😂 I really like how they look
Try the Scott ghost
I like the new Scott
Is it better than the original Scott wildcat?
Gotta try the Carter Like Mike 2
Just got one for Christmas but I’m not a fan of the wrist strap so far. Did you replace yours?
@@Boatflipit I didn't, it softens up pretty quick in my experience!
White or pink fletch best visibility ?
What's the poundage on your SS?
70
I have one , best release I’d ever own!
Heard he can do 100 pushups in 20 minutes
Try the spott hogg wise guy
Best hunting release EVER! Cant leave out the Scott Mongoose. I’d still put it against anything these days.
Save up a few bucks and get the Stan solex. It’s hands down the best index I’ve ever used.
Rattlesnake of destiny!!!
R.O.D
Scott's little goose . Next video
Tim let's get some fitness content getting outta shape will help motivate me and several others

I don't think you actually SAID the name of the release in the entire review
