I have only ever shot an index finger release but would like to try a thumb trigger. I don’t hunt, targets only. I have an opportunity to buy an Absolute 360 at a great price. Looking for your comments on the good, bad, or reviews for this release.
Any time you switch releases there will issues to clean up. You anchor differently with any hand held release than you do with a index release. Chance are your peep height will need addressed and then a change of length of d-loop or even draw length of the bow or both.The neck distance to the hook seems to be longer than any other thumb release I see. I think that might be a problem when combined with a d-loop (I currently shoot off the string with my index release) re draw length and anchor position. Did this create a problem for anyone else?
The length of the head was too long for my taste.Thanks guys. Anything notable that you particularly like or dislike about it?
Good points Sonny . . and I find the cocking lever Very hard too but was thinking I’d get usd to it, or like you, maybe not. I’ve shot it, off the string with my bow (no d-loop), and it definitely moves my anchor further back than my index release (that I have adjusted really short to wrap my finger around). By the time I add a d-loop for the Absolute it feels like I’d need to reduce my dl by a full inch, and I’m already only at 28”. I know a lot of people really like their Absolute, and I know T.R.U. Ball makes excellent product, but I think between the very long neck and hard cocking lever on this model, something else (like you suggest) might be a better choice for my particular situation.Any time you switch releases there will issues to clean up.

The Absolute is called Absolute, not a Absolute 360. Yes, the head can be turned 360 degrees.
I have complained of the ST360X and the Absolute. They cock hard and so hard I sold my ST360X and my Absolute is up 4 sale - like new, $90 TYD. Find the older ST360 or Extreme and you'll know the difference.
My ST360 is not 4 sale nor is my even older Extreme!
