SHARROW Thumb Release for Compound Bow, Archery Thumb Release Aid - Adjustable Ambidextrous Thumb Trigger Release, 3/4 Finger Options, Aluminum Smooth Compound Bow Release

First, I am an archer who has been shooting on and off for the past 30 years or so. This release design is loosely based on another brand’s Blade Flex Pro but at a quarter of the price. In fact the design is so similar that the exact same set of instructions to set release sensitivity and sear work for this one. I have shot both and I can feel no discernible difference. I group about 2” at 20 yards. Machining is CNC and is clean and precise, with no noticeable flaws of any kind. I have shot literally thousands of arrows with this release and only had to readjust once because I apparently forgot to tighten the adjustment lock screws. Only a review of the Blade instructions and using those to make and lock the adjustments and I was back in business. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a precise, consistent and repeatable release but doesn’t want to drop half the cost of a new bow on the release alone. My setup is a 2021 Diamond Edge 320 with a target sight, VaporTrail Pro V Limbdriver rest, Easton Hunter Classic 400 arrows with Bohning vanes, nocks and points. On average I shoot 60 arrow rounds 3 days a week.

Pros - Feels really good in the hand. - Smooth and easy feel when drawing and shooting. - Iridescent color looks great. - Price is nearly unbeatable for what you are getting. - Very comparable style to other high end releases. I own a Carter Wise Choice 24, and this release feels very similar in quality overall. Cons - Came with some minor scratches and some very small machine detailing damage on the "release attachment button." It's very minimal though so I'm still giving it 5 stars. For the price, I definitely recommend. *2/1/23 UPDATE* Shot around 300-400 arrows with this release thus far. Really can't say anything other than I love it. *11/21/23 UPDATE* I have put thousands of arrows through with this release and it has yet to ever have an issue. I'm shooting 70lb draw weight and this release still performs just as well as it did the day I bought it. Idk where the 1 star reviews are coming from, but none of those issues they state about having are anything I have ever ran into with this release.

I have 200 shots through it so far on the stock settings and I love it. For the money. especially when an equivalent release is three hundred dollars, this is great. I like a stiffer release so this works well for me the way it came. It’s adjustable but I think I’ll leave it the way it is. I am getting good groupings at 40 yards and have no complaints. The only thing I did was add the piece to make it a four finger release.

I went to test it for the first time right out of the box. I was at half draw and it unclamped. I didn’t have my thumb anywhere near the switch. My bow string broke and hit me in the ribs……. Now I’m $170 in the hole for new string and cords. It looks nice but is a piece of junk. I’d rather use my fingers to draw than this product. Fix the problem and then we’ll talk. Otherwise close up shop and lock the doors.

The release arrived quick and was very well packaged. The release felt good in the hand and had plenty of adjustments to set the sensitivity and grip. I did however, notice a slight grittiness when setting the trigger. I took it apart and applied a few drops of 3-in-1 dry lube to the spring and some of the flat body surfaces that rubs against some of the moving parts (not the sear area). I also replaced the thumb knob with an after market unit for more grip The release breaks very crisp! The release has the same mechanics as the higher end Tru Ball Blade! The major difference is the extra finger loop and the optional pinky finger add-on accessory. Overall I give this release a 4 out of 5, only because it needs a little oil and the long finger loop kind of looks crude, but that’s not a deal breaker. The release I received is on par or better than some of my more higher end releases. As a bonus, I think the internal parts are interchangeable with the Tru Ball Blade release, so if something breaks it’s good to know I can get it back working

Love this release. Feels good in the hand and very smooth pull

I've shot over 400 arrows and this still doesn't need ANY adjustment from my original setup! I'm VERY impressed because I have 2 other big name manufacturer releases and this is now my new favorite! This is VERY precise once you have it configured for your needs!! It's butter smooth and I don't even think of a moon launch with the hard-lock jaws! The instructions are very easy to understand and it comes with all the tools (allen wrenches) AND an adapter to make it a 4-finger! I would NOT hesitate to get another if I needed one.

Hate to say it….. Lwano might be a better product. Just buy name brand honestly. But definitely gets the job done.
