The new T.R.U. Ball HT (Hot Tension) release is out and is one AWESOME product.

I saw the prototype in Augusta, GA at the ASA shoot and bought one of the first ones on the market at the Paris, KY ASA shoot.

This is is a bit pricey ($189 retail) but man what a shooter this thing is.

More info here: http://www.truball.com/HT.html



If you are into BT, you need to check one out......

Weave:
How does the T.R.U. Ball HT compare to the Carter Solution 3?
Pros & cons?

I have not shot that one, but this thing is awesome

Does it have a safety feature?
How does the cocking mecanism work?
Does the head rotate?
Is the movement to release a pulling motion?
Sorry Weave for all the questions, but I am serious about purchasing one. I went to the website (no picture, not a whole lot of information). I currently shoot the Solution 3, but need a backup release. I am wondering if I can transfer the muscle memory, and loading process (Solution 3) relatively quickly to the T.U.B. Ball HT? If there is not a whole lot of difference (cocking, safety, loading, etc.) then I will probably purchase one. Thanks for the headsup with the HT.

>> No, it does not have a safety

How does the cocking mecanism work?
>> You push the part the the loop goes on down

Does the head rotate?
>> No, it does not

Is the movement to release a pulling motion?
>> You can "pull" using back tension or relax your index finger

Thanks Weave for being gracious and answering my questions. I'll let you know how I get along with the release after I purchase it.

I can tell you that this is THE back tenison release to have. I stood out front of theTRU trailer at the ASA shoot and worked with a few guys that thought they could never shoot BT, and before they left the shoot, they owned an HT.

I have guys that left TRU for Scott, Stan, or Carter and they are considering coming back to TRU just for this release.

If you like BT at all, this is THE hotest thing going right now.

weave, never shot a back tension release before, really respect your opinion, really like a trigger and am pretty disciplined...may consider one in the future as my plan is to really gear up for indoors...other than the surprise release to help avoid target panic, I'm curious as to why you're into this release?

Why is Back Tension so Important?
Back tension controls the movement of the relaxed arm to make progress through the clicker. The more relaxed we can get the pull arm, the more consistent shooting will become. The idea behind proper form is to remove all unnecessary muscle tension in the body during a shot. This enables the archer to more easily duplicate the form. The human body cannot tense the same over and over, however, it can always relax the same. When tension is removed from the pull arm, it becomes much easier to reproduce a good shot delivery. The less the tension, the more consistent. In a sense, the fingers become more like a mechanical release the more the arm is relaxed. There is less to get in the way of a good shot.

Interesting...guess I'll take advantage of the next opportunity too at least try one. Think I'm afraid I may like it...really tried to understand the concept of back tension and worked hard to develope it with a trigger...my release hand only moves about an inch or so back on the release as I'm holding with "back tension", still prefer to sqeeze the trigger though instead of pulling on through...worked so hard to develope this and it'll be interesting to at least experience a different release. People keep saying it is a path to the best accuracy...dang I'm hard headed though

Looks cool. Would like to give one a try. After hunting season. My brain can only hold so many thoughts at one time.
