Several excellent shooters in my Archery Club use this release and highly recommend it. I adjusted the trigger pull to heavier and have been shooting great with this release. The super light “hair” trigger setting promoted “punching”. The Wise Guy release also is solid and heavy which makes drawing the Bow easier than with a flimsy release, especially with a heavy draw weight. This is one of the things I like about the Release. The BOA wrist strap is awesome. My Anchor Point is the same every time. The leather wristband with the buckle strap stretches so the anchor point varies. Get the BOA. As a Hunter or 3D shooter, get this release, you’ll love it!
If you have experience with it. How hard is it to change to left handed configuration. Not "ambidextrous" stuff is hardly ambidextrous at all and I am looking for a new release. Thank you in the meantime.
I have 2 of these wise guys. Not the Boa strap. I use the buckle as its the same adjustment every time aiding in repeatability. It the Boa (like the snake).
I shoot with one of these, love it. Super light trigger, I actually don't use it on its lightest setting, that's the first release aid I can say that about.
Adjust the trigger system. Had my original buckle for 5 years got a new BOA and its alot more secure but wish it was adjustable the same every time. I tighten it down tight as bearable to keep it close to the same consistency. Trigger is fully adjustable. Pull up on round tab until it clicks, it completely releases. Push back down to lock it and tighten it up. Will likely have my two releases and use them both for a lifetime. Buy once cry once and know it will never need a replacement. Great videos love getting your input on so many new things
I have a Tru Glo with the BOA and it feels so delicate... I'd be interested to know if you get any coming back broken. The BOA cable feels so thin and the plastic winding wheel doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. It's likely just me, but I worry about it snapping and firing it through my bow... Likely all in my head.
@Biliary Clinton cheers for that. Didn't know it came from snowboarding so just did a bit of reading. Seems some people are experiencing snapped BOAs there... I wonder what the comparable tension in the cable is between making a boot constantly tight and absorbing bounces vs multiple reps of 60#...
Maybe. I'd still be interested to find out if there are reports of BOA failures in the wrist straps. Ski boots fail, you stop skiing. A wrist release fails and it'll pull itself off your wrist and fire through your bow.
@Rusty Shackleford that's what I'm thinking bud. I tried the BOA as it seemed a new thing in wristies and I hadn't shot one. I usually use a trigger and sweaty hands don't mix too well with a plain metal release 😅
You keep calling it a B.O.A. as though it's an acronym. Does B.O.A. represent words for some feature or is it just "boa" as in it wraps around your wrist like a boa constrictor?
I have been watching your reviews since I purchased my pse drive 3b and you honestly have the best archery reviews. Keep up the good work.
Love this review, a real guy testing it in real time. Straight shooter
You simply have the the best reviews, Steven😎👍
I recently bought myself the pse evo ntn 33 and needed a new release. I went with this one and I absolutely love it

Lol this is how videos should be done. Just figuring it out, raw and honest. Good stuff!
I just got my release in. I was searching on how to get it off. LOL I feel your pain.

Great video 😁
Baahhaa yeah tooooo much info on the bed Steve lol.

Can you adjust it for a fair bit of tension if you like a heavier trigger?
Pistols at Dawn you can, it goes both ways. Light trigger to heavy. It really has been my favorite release, I use both my old one and new one.
@Rusty Shackleford is the strap and buckle sold separately or is it a different configuration they sell?
I nearly spat my coffee laughing.
Steven ,,your the best..
I saw this review, wondering have done a review on the Spot Hogg Keeton as of yet? Thanks.

Where can I buy a replacement boa strap if I want to buy a spare one?
Ah the joys of self discovery!
Think this is the release cam hanes uses
Zachary Payne it is
I think he's thinking out loud bout his wk-end hahahah
BOA lol! It’s Boa, like boa constrictor
"get lifted.." bahahaahaa
The more you shoot with the Wiseguy the worse your target panic will be.
Boa as in snake lol not b o a lol
You keep calling it a B.O.A. as though it's an acronym. Does B.O.A. represent words for some feature or is it just "boa" as in it wraps around your wrist like a boa constrictor?
It is exactly that like the BOAconstrictor snake.
hahaha.....locked to a bed...:)))
You need to not use your finger tip. Use the crease on your finger
