In depth explanation of the top 5 methods I have found to give you the most accuracy and consistency when shooting a handheld hinge or "back tension" release.
I switched to a hinge about 2.5 years ago. Searched high and low for good hinge execution videos, particularly for hunting. This video takes the best of all of those other videos I found and puts it all together in one easy to watch place. Well done!!

Honestly one of the best hinge videos out there. Well done!!

I've been struggling with shooting a hinge the past few weeks. One of the most detailed and best videos out there!!

Just got my first hinge release so those tips are really useful, thanks!

I didn't know if i was going to be able to replicate the relaxation method, but it worked on the first arrow. The pull against the wall feels the most like shooting a recurve bow and pulling through the clicker, which is somewhat familiar.
Edit: grammar

Great video, after 12 months of using a hinge method 2 is most consistent and accurate for me.
Also you are completely right regarding pressure shots, they take a lot longer to go off as your hand is by nature more tense.
Again great video.

Great video!
I found using the Hinge 2.0 with the adjustable click it is so easy to set it to your desire and I like it to click at the moment I anchor and then use the grip it and rip it method. 😂
When under pressure that’s what will take place for me anyway.

Oh yea, now this video after years of doing it my way! You’re messing with my mind. 👍👍

Good stuff…took me many days to find hot/cold setting that worked for me.

I have my Fulkrum set fairly cold, apply even pressure across my three fingers and thumb as I draw and then as I come off the thumb peg, I focus entirely on letting my ring finger drive the shot - enough to a point where I mumble "ring ring ring" to keep my mind focused on breaking that surprise shot.
I've been drinking the shot IQ coolaide and it has helped me quite a bit.

I just switched to a Scott Ascent hinge this summer… I’m still trying to get it dialed in cause the shot still scares me, but I set my release significantly hotter that it came from the shop, so I find relaxing my fingers til the click then using back tension to draw back against it as the best way to get the shot to surprise me, and it’s resulted in my more accurate shots, but I’ll try the other methods since I can freely adjust the click distance and how hot the release is with 2 Allen keys

I shoot a honey badger hbc. It's kind of a hybrid release, not a hinge and not a resistance. I use the relieve index finger method. I love it but would like to try a true hinge one day.

Does anyone have any experience with this Bow Build Masterclass website that he made?! I wanna buy it but would like some more information or reviews from it before I buy. Thanks

Técnica interessante, qual é a marca deste gatilho que você usa? Qual o fabricante ou como compro um?

Regardless of release, I anchor under my chin. The reason for this is because it aligns everything and the release is flat in your hand. Typically when you use a release you put it against your cheek. When doing this your release and string are out of alignment with the bow. When you anchor beneath your chin everything is in alignment from the tip of the arrow to your release. It basically eliminates left-right axis play and increases accuracy dramatically. It's also a very solid anchor point that is easily repeated. Give it a shot.
