i personally have shot them both and compared them.
The hbx is good if you are a tension shooter, meaning you pull against the wall through the shot. The release is crisp and clean all around, but wasnt for me. Personally i am a relax shooter, meaning i relax my hand through the shot process and just aim. With the hbx it makes it very difficult to get the shot to break and be consistent. So i switched to the hbc and am very happy so far.

It takes years to become proficient with a hinge and for most of us we were already a hinge shooter and then got and tried a hbx, the hbx is not a hinge and will have its own learning curve and it is not one month. Just like we tell people to not compare their accuracy or scores with a index finger release with their new hinge release we have to do the same thing with the hbx. If you get one and commit to it for a long time I have a feeling that it can be shot just as good as a hinge or thumb trigger.
Me personally I am going to continue working on my hinge shooting and nothing else.

Padgett is the first person to say what I've been thinking all along, it's not a hinge. Far as I'm concerned the only reason it took off selling was Reo Wilde maybe helping with the design and setting a new record. Personally, I've seen no more wins or records set with it.........
I was shooting the HT pro of which i liked a lot,then tried the HBX which i shot for a couple months.Traded it for the fulkrum,wow this is the release for me.At first I didn't like the head compared to the HT,but after shooting it for a while and getting use to it it's all good.The fulkrum just feels so much smoother then the HT and believe me there's nothing wrong with the HT.

I've owned both and still have the HBX, actually 2 of them. The HBC and HBX may look and feel the same in the hand but let there be no mistake, they are very different releases. For me the HBX required a significant learning curve. Hand position is critical with the HBX. If I grip it too deep it will not go off, or at least I struggle for it to fire. Once I discovered this and changed my hand position farther out on the ring finger it actually goes off easily. In fact I went from the fastest setting with no spring to its slowest setting with the 15# spring. I have come to love this release but it has taken time. I've had some shoulder issues that slowed my progress but I'm back on track now and the HBX will be my release of choice until something better comes along... which I suspect will be a long time from now...
