Anyone use the Ultra View Button release? If so, what are your thoughts?
$300.00? U kidding ,right?I have always shot a wrist strap release but I have had my eye on this one for awhile, just can't seem to pull the trigger on a $300 release LOL I would like to know as well if anyone has shot with these.
What release do you use?I never could get used to a thumb release. I like the idea of them but never could get to where I felt good with one.
What release do you use?
Guy at a bow shop I got to in Baton Rouge said the price for the Steel version is going up to $400. I've shot them and yes, they're pretty quiet but I could never justify spending that much on a release. I shoot a carter first choice that I bought used and I was shocked at how much they cost.
I feel that way about index/wrist releases.I never could get used to a thumb release. I like the idea of them but never could get to where I felt good with one.
Would you get the aluminum or the steel version? Is the steel one very heavy?Guy at a bow shop I got to in Baton Rouge said the price for the Steel version is going up to $400.

I just put some teflon tape on the part of the release that the caliper/sear contacts when fired and its dead quiet now. The more contoured designs of newer thumb buttons like the UV and the tru-fire synapse do feel better in the hand, but I like the auto-locking feature of my carter release. People are definitely buying these though; they are constantly sold out online.
Same..My anchor was always too high with a wrist strap release. My anchor instantly felt natural with a handheld release. It may not be for everyone but a handheld, thumb button release was just what I needed.I feel that way about index/wrist releases.
I prefer my release to have some weight to it, but again $400 is steep for a release. If money wasn't an issue, I would prefer the steel version. The aluminum is so light it feels like you're almost not holding anything. It comes down to preference. If you're serious about buying one any shop worth anything will have display models for you to shoot.Would you get the aluminum or the steel version? Is the steel one very heavy?
When I started shooting I liked the idea of a thumb button so I never tried a wrist release. It never looked comfortable to me. And you're right about the anchor point. I recently started shooting barebow recurve and all I had to do mostly was get comfortable with having my wrist rotated in rather than out. The anchor point was about the same.Same..My anchor was always too high with a wrist strap release. My anchor instantly felt natural with a handheld release.
