Best Index Finger Releases: Tru Ball Execute vs Execution

[@Sparky513]

Just ordered one, looking forward to trying it out. Coming from the wise guy which I absolutely loved at first with its super super light trigger I quickly developed terrible target panic lol. You breath on the trigger of the wise guys and it goes off

[@vaazig]

I purchased this release this week and at first it messed with my head. The length is not adjustable in the model I purchased, with a buckle strap. I like how i can set the sensitivity to pretty hard for better extension. Not cheap, but im happy with the purchase. Thanks fornthe review.

[@linoguglielmo141]

Paige I just purchased the Tru ball execution relase after seeing your review, very hard to find one, out of stock in many locations that sell index releases.I will post a comment after using it 👍

[@jasonbrady7861]

Very much appreciate your insights!. You're the ultimate pro!. Thanks for sharing!. I may try the Execution.. I have the shortnsweetr from truball, but wish I could adjust trigger tension on it. I like a 'heavy'' trigger and it comes pretty 'light'. I have several different releases and continue looking for one i really love.. my #1 so far is trufire hardcore. Thanks again!

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I’m definitely not the best person to give advice on a super heavy trigger because I am totally at the other end of the spectrum, so I would see if you can try one and make sure it goes heavy enough for you. I’m sure it will as it has a lot of adjustment! And it goes to what I would consider very heavy, but everyone is different!

[@hillbillyjustice9574]

Hello thanks for the awesome videos. I was wondering if you have tried the try ball centerline release yet? If so what are your thoughts. Thanks

[@edgarsolorzano512]

Thanks Paige you are awesome!!!

[@dancom69]

Hi, what do you think about the( Carter Like Mike II Release)?

[@2amendment1960]

Thanks, Paige. Very informative.

[@matthewwollmann5803]

Great info! So I just bought the Carter like mike 2. I pulled back for the first time with it and punched myself in the nose. Obviously wasn’t very pleased as I had high hopes for that release after doin lots of research on double sear releases. Now I want to give the extinction a try but I’m wondering if u have ever tried the like mike and what are ur thoughts on it ?

[@scottbradford960]

Does the travel setting stay consistent while adjusting the sensitivity setting? I have found with some release aids that I would initially set the travel only to find as I would adjust the sensitivity that the travel would creep back into the trigger so I would then have to adjust both settings to get the feel I was looking for.

[@mohamedayob9246]

Hi Miss pearce I recently switched my index release to a tru ball xtension rt due to horrendous target panic and I'm struggling to get the tension release consistent, do you think that this type of release is conducive for target archery or should I consider moving to a hand held style

[@yasotay]

Fantastic, thanks.

[@toxic5000]

So I ordered the execution, and I found a major issue that you probably won't encounter. The cocking mechanism grabs hair from the beard upon the shot (I don't have long face hair at all) and yanks it out. I'm thinking what I can do with the problem... Really frustrating.

[@PaigePearceinsight]

Woah okay that is a total first for me! Definitely haven’t had that problem! Lol I would maybe call them and ask if this is okay, but the cocking mechanism doesn’t pop out very far, so I wonder if you could stick some like loose tape over it so you can still push to cock it and it has room to pop back out, but your beard hair won’t get in it?? Just a thought but I would guess something like that could help!

[@toxic5000]

@@PaigePearceinsight that's exactly what I thought of doing. Yeah I'll send them an email. It's really nice that you are so approachable! Thank you :)

[@toxic5000]

@@PaigePearceinsight also, I shot with it today, and I just can't get the trigger light enough. The adjustment screw is backed as much as possible and it's still pretty heavy. Do you know what I can do?

[@vaazig]

As a hairy, bearded bastard I can say that I don't seem to have the same issue. 😅 Is your draw length different so that you end up with the mechanism at the middle of your face? Very curly beard?

[@toxic5000]

The release touches my jaw. My beard isn't long at all and i wouldn't call it extra curly, idk. I wasn't happy with the release because I couldn't adjust it to be as light as i wanted. Anyway, I'm glad that it doesn't affect you :)

[@delkleckner8282]

You mentioned that you tried Spot Hog. I am curious as to which model and what didn't measure up to the TB Execution. Thanks.

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I shot the wise guy as that is their best release. Of all of them I actually loved the feel of it and you can get it set very light! What we found was that with that system I don’t think the jaw hook was getting out of the way (off the D loop) that fast. Which just looking at how it works that’s no surprise. But a few of us tested it and while it felt great everyone’s groups went from the size of a Fita 10 to like the size of the whole 8 ring. Which was frustrating because at the time this was before the execution was launched so I really wanted that wise guy to work! But there was a big issue with forgiveness factor compared to other release models. And yes we did retune and all that stuff with each release so it wasn’t that. I think it just hung up just long enough it wasn’t ideal for target. Hopefully that answers your question!

[@delkleckner8282]

@@PaigePearceinsight Many thanks for the response to my questions. I like your assessment of the wise guy since I need all the forgiveness that is out there. I will have to give the Execution a try.

[@bhandarilifeisexperience1779]

Which size you used small, medium or large

[@MO-fd8vz]

Thanks for the video! I have narrowed it down to the Execution and the Stan Xtinction 2. I was wondering if you have shot the Stan and if so, what did you like or not like about it? Is it one of the releases you tried and had it fail as mentioned in another comment? It's not very often I can get feedback from a target archer on an index release so I value any info you have.

[@PaigePearceinsight]

So I just looked up the extinction 2 and the ones I tried would have been the first model of that. Ans I broke 9. When it worked I liked it, but I don’t want to shoot something that I can’t rely on when it matters. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MO-fd8vz]

@@PaigePearceinsight Reliability is a big thing. I wish shops around here carried one to try, but I think I will just order one and go for it. I know you said you didn't feel the locking mechanism on your face and that is what my worry would be so I am glad you posted this video. Thanks again for the advice!

[@PaigePearceinsight]

@@MO-fd8vz yeah I promise you won’t feel that cocking mechanism so you would be good there! I even tried some custom done stuff with the Stan and just couldn’t get them to last. The way there hook was engaged wasn’t consistent so sometimes it would hold and other times you would get punched in the moth half draw. But they could be set light! I just figured I would share with people what I found best because not everyone gets the opportunity to go shoot the top few from each company. So I figured I might be able to save some people some time and money by sharing my experiences :)

[@创意作战独立团]

@@PaigePearceinsight After reading this reply from you, I bought it and it is really easy to use Thank you very much. From inside the wall

[@johnwebb7882]

Does the execution come in different sizes? I see some that say large. I don’t have a very big hand. Thank you you are awesome. Keep up the good work!!

[@PaigePearceinsight]

The release itself is the same size it’s just the buckles that you can get bigger or smaller :)

[@Stoney2525]

I have the execution, it’s fantastic. But Stans xtinction is just as good if not better. I don’t like saying this but it’s really hard taking information that potentially could be biased as you’re sponsored. No disrespect, you’re truly an amazing shooter.

[@darewade5876]

Three years later do you still like the Execution?

[@stewartw7248]

They are awesome, and are the best wrist strap release made. I think Paige doesn't use one much now due to discomfort in either her shoulder or elbow. I personally have discomfort in my elbow with hand held releases and only shoot wrist strap. All of us have slightly different anatomy.

[@kalumeet1]

Did you ever tried the french Arc Systeme Index? It's widely used by russian, turkish and german top archers. It focuses on target archery. Or is it a "no go" because its produced in Europe?

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I just haven’t tried those! I tested anywhere from one to a few releases from each company and I shot Tru ball, Carter, Stan, spott hog, and Scott. That is what’s readily available here in the states so that’s what I could get my hands on. There were literally shoots here where I shot 4 different releases in one tournament because some would break or misfire etc. I spent basically an entire tournament season walking through all of those. And with one company for example 9 of their top releases broke on me. Like same model, tried 9 of them, and 9/9 broke and punched me in the face. It was an experience lol.

[@bmook019]

Is the execute still in production?

[@user-ph1nc7ux3u]

@@PaigePearceinsight I love your grit and determination! I would have switched releases after 5, maybe 7 punches to the face. Way to stick it out for all 9!!😉😁🤣 Good video, I have used the execution before and really like it. It is one of the few that can be set very light and hold that setting with no worries of failure like you mentioned👍

[@PaigePearceinsight]

@@user-ph1nc7ux3u haha I really liked that particular release when it was working and I shot it great! So they were making changes to it to try and improve it so as that would happen I would get the newest version and give it another try. After that many I was bummed because I really wanted that one to work! So I ended up moving on to the next lol

[@PaigePearceinsight]

@@bmook019 yes it is :)

[@toxic5000]

Did you try the new Tru ball index resistance release?

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I haven’t yet. But I think it will be awesome for what it is! I wouldn’t use a tension release like that in competition probably but I think it’s so great and will help so many people cure target panic. This is an old video I filmed like back in April and forgot I had, so I just finally posted it. So at that time that new xtension release didn’t exist haha

[@toxic5000]

Can't wait for you to try and give it a review! Just ordered the Stan Perfex resistance :)

[@philipborg]

How did you find the Execution compared with the Like Mike. I gather you shot with it for a few years.

[@PaigePearceinsight]

I did. The like mike doesn’t go anywhere near as light even with custom springs. And because if the mechanism the trigger poundage would never stay put it would continuously get heavier and heavier. So from start to finish at a tournament my release was always moving on me. The execution actually stays put 👍🏼

[@philipborg]
