I had promised myself that I didn't need a new release.! I have two Tru ball Abyss's which I really like. I have tried a few hinge releases but I had problems with my wrist breaking over thus causing miss fires. However, I was intrigued by the sweet spot pro. I like the heavy feel of the brass Abyss so while at Foley I tired a Sweet Spot pro... After a few practice shot I said to my wife i quite liked it. Boom she bought it for me and a new fulkrum for herself.!!
I have been shooting it everyday this week. Firstly I kept with the 3 finger claw. It comes with four finger and two finger attachments. The safety button is nice and positive making or a smooth draw without the fear of the wonderful punch to the face!!. It does make a very loud click to engage and disengage the safety. No problem as I am using it for target/3D . I tried the two finger next I didnt find that comfortable at all. I then put on the 4 finger attachment and Ohh... It made the release so much easier for me to use back tension. The head is very smooth when firing. The actual body of the release is well made, solid and feels nice.
It has slowed down my firing engine nicely as i was rushing my shots using the thumb release. So that's a positive. I did jab my finger on the top of the return spring as it sticks out a little near the head of the release I wont do that again !!
All in all its a well built release and it gets you to shooting a hinge with out the thought of punching yourself in the face. Does it improve accuracy?? Well yes for me out to 35 yards then at 40 and 45 I was hitting a little right. I was hitting 3 out of 4 the 10 ring ASA. With a few more days Hopefully that will improve..
Is it worth the near $200..... Well..... yes... Its a lot less expensive than a trip to the dentist LOL!! Compared to the regular sweet spot, which I also tried at Foley, yes.. the extra weight made it feel more secure in the hand and felt much better when drawing the Bow..
All in all there are other releases that are less expensive but non have the safety feature of the sweet spot. Some people may feel that it need a click I am not too sure if it does becasue clicking of the safety after you anchor seems to be very similar to a click.
Its a great introduction to shooting a hinge and for people like me who have problems drawing a hinge release.
Dont expect it to be a magic wand to improve your scores immediately. You still have to learn how to shoot the release with back tension!
