B3 Archery Ghost 3 Finger Handle Back-Tension Release with Textured Coated White Grip & Integrated Thumb Peg for Bowhunting & Competition

Like other reviews have mentioned, this is a great gateway buy into back tension/hinge releases. Good price point, nice click, clean release. Great way to explore back tension/hinge releases to see if you'll like it or not and also figure out what kind of adjust-ability you're really looking for in this style of release. Improved my groupings significantly - can wrap my hand around the groupings and have robin-hood'ed enough arrows to be outright annoying, even in just a few days.Only three cons that are user-error/preference:1) Set screws are quite easy to strip the heads on - heed the warning and do not tighten too much (also make sure your hex key is in good shape);2) Wish the click and fire were independently adjustable, but can't complain at this price point (discovering I like a shorter distance between click and fire - aka, pretty toasty on the release).3) The auto-reset with rubber bands I can see becoming a quick replacement item (B3 includes extra rubber bands for this very reason)

I started archery a few weeks ago with a bow I got from a local hunting gear shop (Diamond Alter). I started with the index release and then moved to a thumb release. With both, I found myself punching the shots. So, I got the Ghost because I heard good things about it and it had a good price point. I hated the thing when I first tried it! Arrows flying everywhere. It is a stern teacher of proper form and proper draw. I finally figured out the proper way of doing things and now my groupings at 20 yds are the size of a grapefruit (even Robin Hooded a couple). Highly recommended!! If I could give it ten stars, I would.

Perhaps my title is misleading, because it's a great hinge, not just for the price, but in general. Construction feels very sturdy. Adjustment is very simple and easy, just need a 1/16" allen key (unfortunately, not included, hence 4 stars), and there are only 2 screws.The picture I attached tries to show the side of the moon where there are small indentations for discrete adjustment (as opposed to continuous adjustment). I found this very helpful when I was getting used to the hinge as I could change my setting and still know I could always go back to my previous setting very easily.At my current setting, or any hotter, you will not hear the click due to where the back of the hook meets the outside edge of the moon: the click is implemented as a small groove on the outside edge of the moon, but if you set it hot enough, the back of the hook will meet the edge of the moon either at, or past, the groove, so no click. Fortunately, this doesn't bother me, and any hinge that implements the click the same way will have the same issue.The hook return system is also a simple design, just a small rubber band, but I like simple and it's very convenient and works well.If you have big hands or fat fingers, you may find this release to be a bit too small for you.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase. It's a great release, and it's inexpensive for the high quality you get.

I’ve been shooting a TRU Ball Pro Diamond thumb trigger release since 2009 and had recently removed the thumb button to try to emulate shooting a hinge. Functionally, it worked fine… but left my hand hurting after a session. The B3 Ghost is my first back tension release and feels like it was custom made for me. I didn’t have any accidental fires and didn’t punch myself in the face. I just tuck the thumb peg into the crook of my thumb on draw, release my thumb on my anchor point, and pull through with my middle/ring finger. The texture is great, contouring is great, click is great, and my release has never been so consistent. It honestly feels natural, like the way it should have been all along. A+

The release seems like a good release. Release arrived used, and missing the rubber band for the automatic release. Now I have to contact customer service in order to acquire the return bands

I love how it’s adjustable and for a first hung it’s perfect for the money

My son is learning with this style of release and is doing well. He’s currently using it with a trainer! My husband also can use it, great release for their first tension kind!

Funciona bien pero es algo grande
