Coming back from a few weeks off with a bang! Is the SilverBack a gimmick or is it the real deal? Visit nockontv.com to view the SilverBack or Nock 2 It releases.
I have the evolution and that thing cured my target panic, improved my form, my scores and made me win tournaments. It is amazing how this thing changed my game. Its the only way to go for me now.
In shooting a pistol, there are several theories on how to pull the trigger. Rob Latham has the best advice I go by and have gone by for over 50 years. Pull the trigger any way you want, when you pull the trigger, don't move the gun. You do not have the luxury of slowly pulling the trigger and having it surprise you when a bad guy runs past an open doorway. Same goes for shooting a bow. Use any release you want, shoot it with your feet, your mouth, any way you like; just don't move the alignment when you do and do it the same as you possibly can each time. Most people that have success in shooting anything tend to overcomplicate things. There are a few that manage to keep things simple. The fact that there are over 300 releases tells me people are looking for an equipment fix to a people problem. "It's not the arrow, It's the Indian. Your milage may vary. Stay safe.
Cool shooter's jersey, I really like the look. I don't think you mentioned it, but it's worth pointing out that mastering a tension release will also make better with the hinge (or any release, for that matter), because it forces you to perfect your form.
That's complete correct! Thanks on the Jersey, it's from Archery Squad. I put a discount code in the video description if you want to purchase it or anything else from AS.
I've never tried a 2 finger release before,I thought I would give it a go because my form it's in and out and do suffer from target panic from time to time. I thought it would make me more consistent in the long run.
I like them better. I go back and forth between a 2 and 3 finger HT from time to time but I always settle with the 2 finger hinge. It sets up my release side better and I get a steadier hold on target because I can build tension better seems like.
Have had some really bad TP in the past , and shooting the Carter was like a salvation. since I'm feeling to get it again, or less confident in my technique with much more hesitation, I go straight back to the fundamental and shoot a true BT as a cure. good job again rob 😉
Thank you! I like to break out the Silverback or a tension release from time to time too for a reminder on form and shot execution. They're great tools.
Hey! I really appreciate your videos! Very informative! About John Dudley: he is the real deal and a total inspiration to my Archery career. Religious follower of the NOCK ON show, info videos and Podcasts! I need to purchase this Silverback release. I have the NOCK 2 IT and really like it!
Just got one today, I shoot a 72lbs Mathews tx5 @85% letoff. Even at the lowest resistance I literally have to pull to the point of my bow holding hand shaking to release it... am I doing something wrong?
You're probably collapsing at the bow shoulder and not realizing it. I would video yourself facing your back and you can see this better. Watch my video on Back Tension 101 and it'll help illustrate some of this too.
Do you think a Silverback is good release for a "beginner". I'm getting back into archery after having been away from it for a long while. Your videos have been really helpful, along with Mr. Dudley's of course, in relearning the fundamentals. I currently have a Trueball wrist strap trigger release. I never liked the way the anchor point felt with it. The anchor point looks more solid and repeatable with this type of rest.
The Silverback would be a good release, or even a Carter Evolution which is the same thing just a three finger. They'll help you find form flaws and focus on the correct style of shot execution.
Cheers, thanks for the input. I had my local shop order me the three finger Evolution. I told you buddy Jimi on his day 3 Silverback review that he needed to check out your channel to get straighten out on how to make use of the release...the responses were amusing.
haha that's actually what started things in the first place. He had a few people tell him to look at my channel and I think it hurt his feelings for some reason.
Great shooting. Thanks for sharing. They are supposed to be back in stock this week. I think I'm gonna make the move and get one. I ordered the nock2it as well and love that thing. Ive heard the nock2it and silverback kinda go hand in hand, one will help you with the other, and vise versa. Would you agree with that?
Dudley is rich enough and releass are over priced y is a Carter knock too is selling for $295 on e bay but u can get 3 or 4 finger carter release for 200 and there's more material obviously
$16 release has done the same thing as a $200+ release I bought. I’m using the pincer toe for hunting believe it or not. I love the hook release though.
You'll need to have a really good foundation for form and bone on bone alignment to use this release. It requires building a lot of consistency and will point out every flaw pretty easily. It's a great training release and can be used to hunt with for sure but you'll need to be someone who practices consistently throughout the year.
rcrchery Thank you for the response. That was kind of what I was thinking. Thanks for the great technical content...currently geeking out over all things archery, so your channel has been great to binge during this virus crap.
I was pretty good with it when i first got it but started really struggling with it after a few weeks. Lately I think ive been collapsing or otherwise moving my bow arm. The shot wont go off and my forearm creeps towards and eventually touches the string stop. The struggle is all too real.
That sounds like you're raising up the shoulders when you're saying your forearm is turning. The bone structure in our arms work that way. When you lift up the shoulder the arm rotates counter clockwise. You could be having a draw length/loop length issue to fit you correctly. It could be a lot, but that's where I would start. If you end up wanting me to help you with it and get you fixed let me know. Here's my website for coaching: rcrchery.wordpress.com/coaching-tuning/
rcrchery I do and I've emailed you about it before. I just need to go to the range with someone and get some pictures/footage of me shooting to send over to you.
dudewithnofood if you don't mind I can tell what you can do at first and see if it help you out before you start messing with your bow. You said you was doing good but then started to have problems. Try changing your stance to a open stance cause then your front shoulder and hip will rotate to put you inline. Remember you can all ways practice with a string with a loop the same length as your DL and your release.
Got it Saturday, nice piece of equipment as it should be for the cost. Initially it was a little rough to get used to, but its coming around slowly. I suffered from TP and am using it as a training aid.
That's a good way to get started, using the training aid. If you have a scale to use it on and set it up, it makes things a lot easier to get accustomed to and transfer it over to the bow. Start about 5 pounds over holding weight and then you can fine tune the adjustments from there if you need it heavier or lighter. If you have any questions along the way just let me know!
One application I mentioned in the video is if you're struggling with target panic. This makes a great time to use the Silverback, or a tension release, over the Nock 2 It. The other scenario would be when you're struggling with your shot and need to get back to the basics.
Because a Nock 2 it is a thumb trigger & does not teach you how to use your back muscles to pull through the shot correctly. Most people will end up punching the trigger eventually unless they have used some form of pull through release. ;)
Wow. A little much with the music lol. It’s so much better just hearing the snap of the bow
I loved the music
For real.
Dubstep is fine, but it’s too loud and dramatically out of place
I have the evolution and that thing cured my target panic, improved my form, my scores and made me win tournaments. It is amazing how this thing changed my game. Its the only way to go for me now.
That's for sure! When I first used the Evolution years ago I learned so much even in my first session with it. It's a game changer for archers.

I just bought one of these and it has helped me get past my target panic.
Great video really helpful. Could have done without the techno pop BS. had turn sound off
Good thing for mute buttons. Thanks for watching!

I bought a carter evolution for $30 less. Great release. Helped me out with my target panic and brought my scores up where they should be.
That's a good deal on the release and I'm glad to hear it's helped you overcome the TP! They're a great tool for fighting TP.
Great video - all yours are - and love the music, myself. Kinda surprised me there Rob :)
Thanks for watching!
Great video Rob, thanks for sharing might have to get myself a Silverback ......
Thank you for watching! They're a good release if you like a 2 finger design.
I've never tried a 2 finger release before,I thought I would give it a go because my form it's in and out and do suffer from target panic from time to time. I thought it would make me more consistent in the long run.

Like the video but please drop the music!
Thank you for watching!

What's that dubb step song sick as fuck!!
It's Noisestorm by Heist

Just ordered mine today!
Do you hate it?
@@allywilkeforsenate no, love it
nice work. I'm sure Jimi is flattered you follow so closely.
Thanks! Catch me up though, I don't follow Jimi.

Ive heard the nock2it and silverback kinda go hand in hand, one will help you with the other, and vise versa. Would you agree with that?
The SB helps you with pulling through and learning to maintain good form throughout your shot. It's a good tool for anyone honestly.
Dudley is rich enough and releass are over priced y is a Carter knock too is selling for $295 on e bay but u can get 3 or 4 finger carter release for 200 and there's more material obviously
$16 release has done the same thing as a $200+ release I bought. I’m using the pincer toe for hunting believe it or not. I love the hook release though.
Pros and cons as far as buying this as my hunting release?? Would you recommend this in a hunting situation?
You'll need to have a really good foundation for form and bone on bone alignment to use this release. It requires building a lot of consistency and will point out every flaw pretty easily. It's a great training release and can be used to hunt with for sure but you'll need to be someone who practices consistently throughout the year.
rcrchery Thank you for the response. That was kind of what I was thinking. Thanks for the great technical content...currently geeking out over all things archery, so your channel has been great to binge during this virus crap.
Great shooting!!
Thanks, Pally!
Same here
great review and awesome jam during your shooting. .. Nock On!!
Right on, thank you!
Great video.
Thank you!
Great review. Did you make that target. And what did you use
Thank you, Dan. It's actually a target from Big Boy Archery Targets. bbatargets.com/
rcrchery thks
Play that funky music, white boy! =) Great video, thanks!
please talk a little about the bow you are shooting ???
is it just me or is you drawing arm way bigger than your bow arm?
I was pretty good with it when i first got it but started really struggling with it after a few weeks. Lately I think ive been collapsing or otherwise moving my bow arm. The shot wont go off and my forearm creeps towards and eventually touches the string stop. The struggle is all too real.

Robert I hope its not a gimmick!! I just bought one!
They're a good release, I enjoy using mine. It's especially good as a learning/teaching tool. I use it for that the most.

Thanks man, much appreciated!
Most of today’s products are gimmicks imo
Gimmick, not needed, why wouldn't you just but the Nock to it?
