ya i read some mixed reviews on it but i wanted to try a hinge, i got this one really cheap on the classifieds and i like a larger surface since i have decent sized hands. I got it, stood about a foot in front of my target a few dozen times just drawing back and blank bailing trying to figure out how to fire it (never held a hinge before) once i got comfortable with drawing it and no accidental misfires then i worked a few dozen let downs. Then i started walking backwards in the garage to 5y and 10y shots. Then i took it out to the local range and walked the 3d Course. What ever it is set at is working for me, its set on a click and i havent even come close to punching myself in mouth yet. i figured once i no longer had to think about my sequence with it then i would look into learning more of the sear adjustments. Now i just really want to get the 4th finger attachement back on it. my release shot was so much smoother and easier to process with that over my thumb release. I was really able to just focus on holding my shot and the "surprise" portion of the shot really made sense.
