Hand held release aids are becoming increasingly modular straight from the factory but when it comes to the thumb knobs themselves what you see is usually what you get.

Owned and operated by retiree couple Barbara and Vernie Broyles, Ex-Okie knobs are available in medium or coarse knurl, and in a variety of sizes up to 1” in diameter (3/8” and ½” being their most popular sellers for hinge or resistance releases and 3/4" their most popular for thumb triggers).

Recently I found my shooting had plateaued. I was consistently shooting 285/300 Vegas rounds with my hunting setup but I knew I could do better. On video my shooting looked pretty good.

Over the years we have found ourselves continually purchasing hydration packs of comparable size from companies like Camelback,...

Whenever a new bow is released the media immediately swoons over it like a bachelorette contestant doting after Mr. McDreamy. We all know it’s not true love but we play along anyway because frankly it’s entertaining and we need something to satisfy our archery obsession. But now that we are more than halfway through 2018 these bows have had ample time to earn their reputations. We figured now would be a good time to do an honest write up of our favorite bows that launched earlier this year. #3 The Prime Logic IBO Speed: 330 FPS Brace Height: 7” Axle...
