The good part about the stan is that they purposely made the release to all match in the onnex line. The thumb, hinge, and the resistance all have the string in the same location. You can go through all releases and have no change in the draw.

Started with the ultraview 2.0, then went to the Hbc flex and my shooting went way up. Now I own the fulcrum flex, hbc, executive and the stan perfex for windy windy days. Fulcrum and hbc are both my go to. Love the videos and content!

What I love about the UV and Stan is their hinge and thumb button are set up exactly the same. It’s easy to shoot a hinge for practice then hunt with a thumb button without changing your sight/tune.

I literally just bought the full set of UV hinge 2 and the UV Button. Bank account took a hit but I love shooting and love to get better. Therapeutic for me to fling some arrows. Keep up the good work boss!

One thing to note on the Stan is finger extension angle can be changed and more importantly a different sized extension can be used. I am using a medium 3rd finger on a large body. For me, the Stan is more comfortable on draw length since it has a shorter neck than the UV2 and I am probably as long as I can comfortably go on mod setting.

I love you guys! Especially after that impromptu debate on Bobby Lee vs Theo Von comedy you had on Fireside Chats the other day! You guys are part of my daily digest and I finally had to sing it out loud. Tim, you can still outshoot me and I don’t think I have to preface this when I say, I really do enjoy the newer archer point of view. Having only gotten serious into shooting since 2020, I love having all three of you to learn with and from. I used to just sit around all day long waiting for Dudley to figure out a way to explain archery to me and nowadays I’m real grateful for what you guys do!!! I would love to travel out that way and visit the shop, do a Tac, meet my heroes and make sure my draw length is rock solid but for now, thanks for your hours of hard work, awesome what-would- I-do-without-you-guys-content and solid cross-country shipping 🤙🏼🤙🏽🤙🏾🤙🏿

I shot the Stan Onnex for a while then bought the UV Hinge 2 and I LOVE it!!! I still love my Stan and I go back and fourth. I’m just more consistent with me Hinge. But the hinge 2 adjustability capabilities are insane how easy and how you can get it set perfectly to how you like!! I love it

[TÒvÓJ-NORCOLIFE]

I’m a steadfast fan of Scott Ascent Hinge releases.. it’s all the benefits of a hinge, but it has a dual sear mode where you can use the click for target shooting, but has adjustable click distance, as well as no click mode for quiet shots used for hunting so that you can use hinge shooting without the loud click… it’s just so adjustable for fitting your needs as a target shooter and hunting shooter

[onpointpixels]

Thanks! I shoot the Onnex heavy brass hinge and love it!

[moneyking]

I started archery because of Chris and Ultraview. It's not for everyone, but I use it and have great confidence with it.

[RedLakeArchery]

My go to for hunting is the TruBall Blade with the new G.O.A.T Thumb Assembly.

Target bow: U.V 2 and Goat Hinge

[Gibsonlife]

You also did not talk about the fact that Ultra view did sweep that neck toward most of the tension when you're drawing the boat is right over top of the middle finger therefore making it easier to Pivot that with the ring finger

[rickblankenship]

You are spot on TIm the neck is too long on the ultraview . Really like how you give your opinion and don’t try to sell me something just so you will get sponsored anyway KEEP UP the great videos

[olehemlock]

The Stan hinge is the best option if going to switch to the Stan thumb when hunting. I’ve used TruBall and the hook is small and cantankerous to get on the loop but the design of the head lets you use a heavy glove in cold weather without pushing the hook off the moon. The longer neck on the Ultraview may be beneficial in cold weather. I have used a hinge for hunting but it is setup completely different than the release I use for target. Target I use a click and pull through the shot. Hunting release is setup with a long travel, no click and I command shoot it. It’s setup so I can hold all day and it’s not going to fire until I “command” it too. I can rotate the release fast or slow depending on the situation. This works for me……..you, maybe not so much😂

[troypowders]

Anchor doesn’t matter with a sliding sight. Anchor at 20 yards is different at 80

[Gibsonlife]

This is a year old for me to watch it but have you guys ever thought about when you draw your release back and you come to Anchor if you just start to relax your hand the shot will go off

[chetmanley]

The hinge 2 is my favorite and go to currently, but like you said because of the neck length you have to commit to it. It’s nice being able to go between the hinge 2 and the UV thumb button without changing POI though.

[outsidersoutdoorsteammudho]

I Really liked the Canadian hunting video, release video is well done as well. It really sucks that the Canadian dollar is so weak and the import fee makes buying anything from the us very costly 😢

[jacobs]

I shoot foam with a carter 2 moons L, b/t, hunt with the chocolate.

I also 10/10 recommend Carter. Nothing wrong with the 3 in the video.

The chocolate is what got me off indexes. I honestly never needed the 2 moons just got one used on a steal locally. But I love it it for a random deal.

[funkytruckermarkstre]

I think you left out an important part.
To train or target shoot with a hinge is ideal but, as you say, it's best to hunt with a thumb release. So the important thing is the crossover between the two releases you use. Uv 2 and the Stan hinges have been built to be the same shape as their thumb counterpart so there's no need to change anything when you swap from hinge to thumb release.
