I started out using a string trainer first before actually shooting my bow with it and I love the Verge. It's helped improve my accuracy when I switch back to a regular index release, which is the Scott Wildcat 2.
Man am I glad you did this review! I currently shoot a Scott lil mongoose wrist release, I have tried thumb releases and don’t care for them. I shoot them fine with my old Darton DS 3800, but my VXR28 don’t like it at all. I want to make the switch to back tension and was considering this release to start. Saved me money from half way around the world!!
I just got a new Tru Ball execution and my first instinct she. I tried it was that it sucked, and it triggered all kinds of target panic. Got used to it within hours and I'm loving it. The brain is a funny thing.
@@urbanarcher3535 yes trigger is adjustable can be a hair trigger or very stiff which is where mine is set ihook my middle finger on the trigger then pull back from shoulder
Thank you for ALWAYS being honest and not biased on products , I’ve shot Scott releases for 20 years or so but I ain’t to sure on this one , where in Australia is your shop , I’d love to come visit mate
I just got mine and used for first time today. The anti torque swivel is really nice but is the hook supposed to auto return because mine is not and I have to press it with my thumb to get it to go back into position to pull another arrow back. Mine also does not click at all. Just feels like a really nice index style strap release that torques less.
Did you read the directions Steve ? It's meant to shoot with both fingers as a back tension. Boys typically don't read directions I had the same experience until I read the directions.
This might be nice for Target shooters with finger/wrist issues. I think if you set it up without the click and adjusted it closer to you fingers so you could hold it similar to a conventional hinge.
I would love to try this release. I currently shoot my standard index release with my middle finger. This looks amazing to me. I also have a standard hinge style back tension, but do not like holding the entire weight of the bow on my hand/fingers. This would give the best of both worlds! wrist strap to draw and hold weight. would draw w/ index finger inside, and middle, ring outside behind the trigger, pinching the neck between fingers as I draw, just as I currently do. Then rotate hand and anchor similar to a back tension release while putting middle/ring finger on the trigger like you would your hinge release. with click in, squeeze the trigger to the click. once clicked, execute the shot w/ back tension, trying to pull through the strap, not squeezing fingers. without the click, you would execute your shot by pulling back tension through the strap, causing fingers/hand to rotate similar to a hinge, not squeezing the trigger like a shotgun
You're being a real bum right now wrap your fingers around the strap pull it back anchor bring the fingers up over the trigger hook your fingers around it roll to the click and then continue to pull with the back
@@ArcherySuppliesLonsdale When I shoot a hinge w/ a click, I will pull to full draw, get set, and aim, Rotate hand through to the click, then execute the shot with back tension pull, not hand rotation.
This is why we like your reviews, because you just say what you think...👍👍

Glad everyone is safe after the storms.

Fantastic timing Steve, was planning to grab one of these next weekend!
Have U ever tried the spot hogg keeton? I love it use it as A 4 finger with the trigger set off with my middle finger
Is the tension adjustable on the Keeton?

I think the clicker can be removed from that release. Also you just draw the bow like it’s an index release and then pull through with back tension

Leave your index finger out of it . Pull with Middle and third finger are your trigger fingers. Leave your index finger on the outside of the release.
Guessing its a newer version of the longhorn hex, def takes getting used to. Always fun to watch you shoot with a click :)

This really shows how release aids are such a personal thing.
Please make a review on Stan Onnex Resistance + Hinge releases
Is there instructions????
I thought you said at the beginning that it has instructions
Wrap your thumb and index finger BEHIND the trigger when you draw. it will keep you from sending an arrow across town 😮😮😮
Love your videos Steve but damn you are shooting this one funny 😂
That flinch when you heard that click lol 😂 never understood why a click would scare people so much
You're being a real bum right now wrap your fingers around the strap pull it back anchor bring the fingers up over the trigger hook your fingers around it roll to the click and then continue to pull with the back
Sorry Steve but it's nice to know someone else flinches lol
You are funny as hell. Click bang-And I flinch like crazy. Use two fingers and pull thru.
Scares the heck out of me. When I first shot back tension the click was fine then the flinch started.

😂True honest review. Fingers behind trigger when drawing.
Love your reviews! But this was a little dramatic. Lol
Your cap is on wrong!
Yep focused on shooting the release. It was cold after the massive storm.
"I just don't know how to shoot it".....clearly lol
looks like dementia is close
Do I win a prize for first like. 😂
Telling it how it is , truth is hard to find today, thank you 👍🏼👍🏼
