Tru-FireSEAR-X Back Tension Archery Release Aid, Black (T20110)

Weird to switch to a back tension release at first, definitely has a little learning curve but once you get it down it's great! Also added 1" to my draw length! Don't know what took me so long to make the switch.

I’ve owned many hinge releases and had many other high end releases, this isn’t one of them. I liked the idea of it being heavy like my other brass releases, and the fact that Levi Morgan praises this and helped in design I figured it must be good. The initial set up is a ridiculous process with way too many moving parts. Once you get the click setting you want it shouldn’t be an issue however. The problem was, I couldn’t even set up the micro adjustment screws because they were locked up and stripped brand new out of the package. I saw that the original sear releases had this issue but I also read that this newer sear x had fixed all those issues. Nope! Absolutely terrible quality control with these. I didn’t even have this out of the package for 30 minutes before boxing it up and ready to return. I gave it a 1 star because it wouldn’t allow 0 stars.

Had great expectations for this release, but unfortunately it didn't work as expected. The process to adjust the sear and the speed are annoying to say the least and in my case the bottom adjustment screw stop rotating at some point. The travel distance is too short and limited. There are no reviews online or tutorials on how to adjust it properly. The Scott Archery Ascent is just a bit more expensive than this one but offers ore adjustment, easier to set and had good support material and reviews available, so I went with that one and so far I believe it's a better option
