[HiHi-wdsl]

Obviously it’s Lancaster, not Lancaster. Why would anyone pronounce it like that?

Hey could you do a video on showing someone that has always shot a wrist release for hunting to transition to a back tension style release

[duanethompson]

It’s Lancaster, short for land caster. I was a USA fly casting gold medal winner, and I spent countless hours casting in grass or parking lots. I used to cast at 60 below zero in the Safeway parking lot in Fairbanks AK in the winter, because my fly line would slide on the snow and ice!
I used to shoot target archery and my release was one that you pushed the trigger to arm and when you relaxed it would fire. I shot leagues and the Redding 3D. Now that was a special shoot. I went to a 3D shoot in the late 1980’s with an instinctive shooter. Bought one raffle ticket and won a Golden Eagle 3D compound and that’s what got me started.

I was considering the release for hunting but 100% agree with your view that it’s inherently inconsistent. I shoot much better and will hunt with the ultraview in two finger setup.

I used an earlier version of the Sweet Spot to learn back tension and I agree completely with both pros and cons. My main con was the inconsistent finger pressure. I did find that if I used my back thumb knuckle to release the safety, there was less tension on my thumb. It was great for understanding the mechanics of a hinge release and after a few months of use, I switched to an HBC and I've been using that for the past 10 years.

When I lived in Los Angles, they called in Lan-caster. Im from Ohio, where everyone says Lanc-aster. My brain hurts just thinking about it.

Its definitely Lang-custer. Born in Lancaster General hospital and lived in Lancaster County half my life. I went to Lancaster Archery when their paper and techno hunt ranges were in the pro shop. Long long time ago hahaha.

One thing he didnt mention is that when you do train yourself and get you dont need to use the safety button. Then it just becomes a regular hinge realease. Consistency problem solved

[isaacwilliam]

your videos don't get as much clout as they deserve. everything is such great quality, and knowledge. keep up the good work

[jack__hawn]

Lank-ister, I’m from Pa, and that’s how I’ve always heard it here.

Good review... a while ago I think you said the UV Hinge was coming out with a wrist strap... I have a Sept Elk hunt coming up and would like the wrist strap... thanks

[gedcatherwood]

Lancaster, !!! I was born in Lancashire England 🙂 Keep up the vids Chris

[wyleyveinot]

Do you find it is very cold even in the hottest setting? I love the release and the idea it just seems so cold to me. I bought one and it's my first hinge, I just feel like i'd shoot it better if it were hotter.

Also, LANcaster.

[billymartin]

Lancaster near my hometown in Ontario and we said it Lang-caster.

Thanks for doing these reviews they help a lot

I'd like to hunt with a hinge style release, I wonder if you've had any bad experience with the 'click' or the shot process during hunting with this style of release. Thanks!!!

[Orr_s]

Has this been the one you’ve used in some recent vids that dropped instead of the ultra view? I saw it and noticed it looks like a hinge with a safety and was very interested and intrigued although i would have to re-sight in everything since im using the Nock2It and Silverback and they group almost identical. So this would still be considered a back tension release and not a true hinge style release? where you can manipulate the moons and sears and get away with less tension doing so

[lorenzochavez]

Have the city of Lancaster here in Texas and it’s definitely lan-caster lol

[tjnett]

Hi Chris your exactly 100% on about this product review! Yes it is a great entry level release, but like you said too many variables, and moving parts for consistency. There is just too much going on just to do it’s original job. But it’s good just to get the idea of what it’s like to shoot that style of release!

[coolfrog]

Liked the video. Also I love the hinge that Ultra view sells
