I’m in the same boat. I have a 27.5” draw length and don’t want to give any of that up. I really like the look of the uv button. Great video.
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
I love the release but I wish they made a short-neck version
I agree, my anchor point is back too far now. I pull 30.5" so I will still have good speed at 30", but it will mean re-dialing in my sight and that's a whole process. Other than that, the UV is the best release I ever had. I really didn't expect it to be as good as it is. Maybe over time it will go down in price
Its a great release for sure.
Love my wise choice! I have 2 of them and the nock 2 it ! Carter is my go to…
The Wise Choice was my all-time favorite release, but I switched to the Carter Too Simple this year.
I’ve got the uv2 hinge and absolutely love
It. Going to be saving up for the button. UV puts out a good product. I know a lot of people hate on them and the prices are a little outrageous but for me to keep a consistent anchor and switch between the two without an issue I’ll spend the money. Thanks for the video!
They make outstanding releases and the UV button is a super nice release. One of the nicest I have tested.
I hear that and thats why i bought the Silverback and Nock2It years ago and im jus glad they both were like 200/250 bucks cheaper total loll i sold my hinge first gen and thankfully got good money for it but i jus didnt like how super light and noisy it was
The nock2it is a great release. I got my wife the mini and I think the quality is better than my wise choice.
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors yeah, haven’t used a wise choice and obv both made by Carter but my buddy just got the second gen one with better internals and no travel adjustment, just trigger tension and i wish they had that one in “gold” (more like champagne colored) when i bought mine, its slickkk. Although mine were all only 200 at the time. The 2 smooth is very nice also, even tho they hit just a slight bit different. The long neck affecting the draw making it shorter i can see be frustrating. Im at 29.5” and still wouldn’t want to give up that 1/2”
I wish they made a gold wise choice as well. I would for sure buy one!
Carter WC for me. Everything UV is overhyped if you ask me.
The Carter WC is hard to beat. However, the UV Button is a high contender.
I’ve become so used to this one. It fits my hand perfectly. I like the closed loop style of holding where my thumb rides deep hooked over the knob and it touches the release slightly. For me this is more repeatable than having thumb sticking out and riding on the knob kinda hanging out in space lol. This closed loop gives me maximum control I feel. I am in complete control. I use a very relaxed handso when I pull thru it doesn’t take any hand finger tension change but just pulling straight back until it pops. Honestly, I tried the closed loop because of a video of Joel Turner of IQ fame. After a months of serious, very uninterrupted, shooting my ability to shoot long distances ( for me 80 yards) so much accurately than ever. I have never shot at any animal past 55 yards and that was a coyote and haven’t ever shot a course that needed shoopast 60 yards.
I love my wise choice, but I started shooting a hinge this year, and every time I go back to the WC, I keep wanting to shoot the hinge For that surprise release every time.
Recently I tried shooting the WC the same as the hinge, and my accuracy significantly improved.
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors I’ve used a Total Control hinge for 3-d but not hunting. Because of the way I use WC it get the same down range results. When I do everything right it will fire unexpectedly as it can get. I know it’s going to fire if I just keep pulling thru the shot. But if anything goes wrong I can easily and more safely stop by just pulling my thumb off the knob. Like when a deer suddenly turns wrong while I’m into the shot cycle. It’s harder to control a let down with a hinge.
I've never hunted with a hinge, either. I might take a few does in the early season with it to see how it goes, but from the sounds of it, I shoot the WC the same way. Just place a little pressure on the thumb peg and pull until it breaks.
They are good releases but I love my stan shootoff TL thumb button release it is so crisp and clean.
I've heard great things about the shoot off and the prefex.
I have the nock2 it and really like it but just purchased the UV in stainless and absolutely love it. Yes your draw length is a tad longer but I was able to adjust for it and shoot hood groups at a distance. It would be nice in the future if they were to shorten the neck a little but their are other ways you could shorten the draw length without changing the mods. I shortened up my d loop a bit and that made it feel better. I may change my let off next if I'm not happy enough with the d loop. Great detailed video thanks for taken the time to share this.
Thank you and thanks for watching. Those are all great tips! What let-off would you change to?
@Michigan AmBush Outdoors so I'm shooting the Matthew's V3X and I'm a 28.5 dl and I have 80 mods if I dropped it down to 75 it would shorten it up a little but my holding weight would increase because the cams won't be rotating as far back if that makes sense. I'm still contemplating on doing that or going with 28 mods. I'll have to get more reps in before I make that decision.
@Michigan AmBush Outdoors not sure where you are located but lancaster archery is one of the best shops anywhere if you were to give them a call they could set you up. They would be able to give you the right information and supply you with the correct left offs or other options. I just know about this from guys there and my buddy that has been shooting since he was a little kid. Give them a call and let me know if that helps
Interesting. I didn't think about the holding weight changing the draw length.
I will look into that. Thanks again!
No comparison I have the nock 2 it, the goat, abyss, UV button and UV hinge 2. The goat comes close but the UV button is just more crisp, less creep and just an overall more comfortable better fit release. Love the hinge for keeping my shots honest. I like to start practice with the hinge and go to town with a button. The carter is over priced compared to the other two.
I picked my Carter wise choice up for 220, which is what the Nock2it goes for, but with that said, I think the Nock2it has better quality control and a better trigger.
I picked up a Truball HBC hinge, and I love that release. It was a tough transition, but now I shoot it super well.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic review, keep it up very detailed
Thank you!
I think not having a set screw is going to be a serious flaw. My buddy got his in and pulls 82 pounds with his bow and after about 500 shots hes getting constant creep. Hes gonna email ultraview and see what they say. Idk if they heavier holding weight is making it worse or if he just got unlucky but we will see.
Keep me posted on what they say if you don't mind.
Had the same creep problem. Ultraview sent me a new one no questions asked. We’ll see how this one is because I love the release otherwise.
@@Doober560 my buddy is getting a new one as well but i honestly feel like its gonna be an issue. I dont think the creep is from a faulty part i think its from the design. Was really thinking about getting one when they came out with the Large size!
Fantastic customer service.
I shoot v3x 33 in 27. I was gonna buy the uv button just now until I heard about the long neck. Dang man that sucks. I shoot a trufire synapse, and an uv hinge. They are great and all just wanted something new.
If you already shoot a UV Hinge, you won't have any issues with the neck length.
Some corrections, i used to have both carter wise choice and carter mini evolution, there is no anchor point difference and impact shift to the arrow on target
Thank you for your input.
Carter Honey back tension is the same form as the Wise Choice too…
I've wanted to try that release.
You really helped me make my mind up on. The UB button however I didn’t know completely that it would change your draw length I figured but I appreciate the info I just subscribed I am also I fellow channel but nowhere in the ballpark of you lol 😂 best luck of 23 season
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you liked the video and it helped. That's why I do them!
I will check out your channel👊🏼 and good luck to you as well.
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors I really appreciate it and it must be so cool to be a big channel like yours! In the hunting difference Hunting community. Because you can make a difference (: Look forward to upcoming videos
The uv definitely feels better for me. I just got the Tru ball trident pro flex and I like the feel of the uv button much more. From the button itself to how the overall body feels in the hand. BUT, I had to get rid of it because of how much it changed my anchor point. It just felt so awkward. At 27.5 I am not going shorter. What shame that this design was made this way.
I was in the same boat. With my short draw I wasn’t willing to give up an extra draw length to shoot it. Fantastic release just not right for me.
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors if Carter wasn't around what other release would you use?
I would probably try to find a Stan prefex short neck. That was an amazing release.
What material do you put on the finger grooves of your releases? Skateboard grip tape? I've noticed it in a few of your video's, which have been great btw. I enjoy the thoroughness of your comparisons. Thanks.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and for watching the video.
I use the Bowmar Grip tape on the release.
Did Carter change the design? There used to be a travel screw on the button as well as a trigger weight screw on the body.
Yes. You know only have one screw which adjust the tension. No more travel screw.
Do those adhesive patches you have placed in the finger grooves for extra grip on the Wise Choice come with the release? Or is that something you purchased and installed separately? If so please link it! Thank you!
I purchase this separately. It's the bowmar archery grip tape.

Great review! Looking to order my first thumb release and have a question about the WC size. I have smaller hands for a guy and have heard the WC is for medium to large hands. But I've also heard of some smaller-frame women using it. No local shops currently have the WC, so can't really try it out. Some of the features of the WC look good for a first thumb release, but do you think it wouldn't fit right for an average to small man hand? Also looking at the Just Cuz (no wrist strap or auto-close). Could also buy and return, but would be nice to avoid that. Thanks!
Thank you.
I have small hands as it is a little big but in no way uncomfortable. You could also check out the NockOn Mini if you are concerned about it being too big. It's the same release as the WC but it's a two-finger vs. a three-finger.
please compare the stan onnex thumb versus VU button
I will add that do the list for sure!
The Onnex is pretty sweet. But I think im going to stick with my UV button. It just feels so much better in the hand.
what tape are you using inside of the release?
Thats the bowmar archery grip tape.
Yeah I will stick with my two nock 2 it releases tried and true excellent track record. UV asking a hefty price for those wow
The nock2it is an amazing release. I have been trying to get a gold one for three months now.
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors yeah I picked up the gold one and have the green one that i got new two years ago for a backup two is one and one is none lol
They had a gold one at TAC and I meant to go back to the NockOn booth before we left for home and I forgot. Since then they have been sold out 😩
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors yeah not sure what’s going on there
They are currently in stock.
UV is too expensive, the world is too expensive, i guess it would be wise choice to stick with carter
lol. They are expensive but they are also really nice releases. This year I order a Carter Too Simple and have been enjoying that release.
What kind of tape you use on the grip? I have a Hot Shot tempest and it gets slippery with sweat.
That's the bowmar archery grip tape. It works great, but you do have to replace it often.
Is the medium size UV Button/Hinge about the same dimensions/size as the Carter wise choice? Afraid the the finger holes might be a bit small for my hands, as I shoot a wise choice now.
The med is a little smaller but not by much.
You can always try it and if it's too small, UV has a 14-day window to try it out. If you don't like it, they will give you a 100% full refund.
You could just get use to a different anchor position and keep the draw length the same. As long as the string is hitting all the references correctly, that's the most important thing.
Unfortunately because of my shorter draw length, I am already squeezing as much as I can. The UV put my anchor point behind my jaw and causes a little pressure in
I just bought a wise choice and noticed it looks like I have an older model than the one you have. I have that travel screw next to the barrel. Is this something to be concerned about?
Did you buy it ne,w?
Either way, you don't have anything to worry about. Just make sure not to set the tension too light (hot).
@@MichiganAmBushOutdoors “new” off eBay. Must’ve just been an old model. Working just fine. Thanks for the videos
Yes. It's the older model but nothing wrong with that.
I started with the nock 2 it. I been wanting to try a 3 finger. Just feel like I could pull more/easier with the extra finger. Any feed back?
I have a NockOn Silverback and I didn't have any issues or notice that it was harder to draw vs. my carter wise choice but it is always worth trying another release.
Is that grip tape in the carter finger loop?
Yes, it's the bowmar archery grips tape.
Anyone wants a button they appear to be in stock at lancaster, been waiting over 3 weeks from UV currently.
Thanks for the heads up!
UV neck is long as a country mile
I wish they would make a short-neck version.
Can either release work for left hand shooter? Can the thumb knob be reversed?
Yes.
These things are more expensive than my first bow.
😳The UV isn’t cheap.
