Very nice Tony.

 

That's the hinge I'm most excited to try

 

Looks nice

 

Took a few shots this morning.... Yep, its as nice as I remembered.

 

Several asked about comparing it to the Backspin and to the Core.

Basically, the Core is identical to the Exxus, except the index hole, and the outer finger bed. Geometry is identical otherwise, and the Core is heavier due to the stainless extension.

So, focus vs core is the same as above focus vs Exxus.

Comparing the Focus to the Backspin, the Backspin is about 1/8" longer than the Focus fingerbed to hook.

Focus on Backspin:

Exxus over Core for reference:

Core over Backspin- not as similar as I thought actually.

 

Very nice! Looks almost exact to the Backspin...Thats what I'm shooting now but,Ive been eye balling the Anchor.

 

It is shorter than the backspin from finger bed to hook. The index finger bed is also slightly thinner than the bearing of the backspin.

Thanks for the pics! Is it me or is the hook on the Focus a tad longer than the backspin? That's probably the biggest complaint against the backspin; the short hook.

Yes, the Focus hook is longer and thinner.

Is the magnetic hook any better than on the backspin? Never reset itself for me. Wish they just stuck with the rubber bands.

 

I haven't even noticed to be honest. It may be part of my shot routine to set the hook (when I broke rubber bands, I rarely replaced them).

I THINK I'm resetting it after the shot when I drop it in the bag....and the magnet keeps it set from there.

 

Thanks for the review. Been shooting Longhorns for years an years an love them. I decided to try the HT3 for something different recently an while I really like that release an shoot great with it I still prefer the feel of my shot better with the Longhorns. Been thinking about trying tha Focus an this review may have just made up my mind.

 

Went to their website and no mention of this new release. Where can I get more info?

 

They haven't updated the site. I just asked if there was a PDF flyer or anything I can share here. I will if there is.

For now, this is all I've seen.

I received a Scott Anchor this week. I also am faithful to my Exxus. I was hoping to get a hinge with the same anchor point and POI, but I did not. The Anchor causes my peep to be much lower. I was hoping to be able to interchange.

How does the finger bed to hook distance compare between the Exxus and Anchor?

 

I believe the Anchor is a little more than a 1/8" longer. The bed position is very different in that the index finger sits much further back and the middle finger bed is more forward than the Exxus.

 

Would you say the Anchor is a closer comparison to the Black hole or the Backspin, geometry wise?

 

I never had a Black Hole. The Backspin was just like the Exxus Core from what I remember. The finger bed on both seemed just a little more spread apart than the Exxus.

 

From your pics, it looks like the Focus is a closer match to the Exxus. Are you able to switch back and forth without changing anything?

 

No, the Focus is about 1/8" longer than the Exxus. No tune change but I have to shorten the loop to be comfortable.

 

Love my black hole but itching to try the anchor when it comes in

 

How do the Focus and Anchor compare to the Longhorn Pro in terms of length?

 

TTT would like to hear more reviews on the focus. not much here on AT about it yet
