Chris bee is a legend. I will always watch his vids. But he has a different style I feel like. He likes to do his own thing. He’s a unique KZreadr in the sense that he doesn’t seem to care about doing collabs like that
I really get what you’re saying Tim. Just a regular guy that loves shooting your bow. I think mostly everyone on the channel can relate to you in that way. Just regular guys and gals that love shootings bows and tinkering. Although I’m sure that most of us would love to be able to be like Dan and be able to take the a month off to hunt elk in multiple states. Literally living the dream!
This is why I like watching Elkshape. The honest review doesn’t seem like you are trying to sell the product at all or justify such a high price point. I’m sure there are a lot of us that shoot those releases in the $200 range that were intrigued but the price being so high, had a lot of questions. Thanks Tim! And good luck in the woods!
Awesome video and a great review! The review was very thorough and answered every question I had on the UV button. Good luck in the elk woods!

Great review Tim. Thanks for doing this while Dan and Jake are in the woods. I’m really interested in one but the price is also a hang up
Great video Tim"above average"Connor! I legit love this style of reviews from you. As far as the product...as a new archer I will eventually be looking to move from an index to a button. I don't think I will get a UV button any time soon because for that cost. I would hold off...especially when I don't have a clear idea of what to look for and what's comfortable for me.
Looks solid nice review Tim
Very good review! Have been thinking to buy one! But it is a lot of money! Many thanks! I like your channel! Greetings from Sweden!
Thanks for the video. My Stan Perfex wont be replaced anytime soon. Cheaper and dare I say better. I like the way it feels in my hand, thinner like you stated. The amount of adjustments on it coming with 4 different thumb barrel extensions and two different sized barrels at $275 is unbeatable.
Sweet review Tim!! I always enjoy your videos. Ps. Look at the sexy truck next to you😅😉
I’ve got a few archery specific videos coming down the pipe since I haven’t posted since around last Christmas lol. Depending on how well that goes I’d love to do a video with y’all.

On the note about draw length, at least for me, who is just starting to get into the hinge/thumb release world coming from a wrist strap, my draw length DOES NOT change switching between the UV and my wrist strap. For someone who might still want to go back to the wrist strap, the longer nose on the UV doesn’t make you lengthen your draw. Just another way to look at it. I do see the pro’s in being able to lengthen it, but I like the possibility of still shooting my wrist strap comfortably.
Collaboration with The Hunting Public would be amazing

Just fyi this is the button not the hinge lol. Great video! I’m hoping to get one into my hands soon to try out
I was quite excited about this release after watching the initial drop of the video from UV, having just made the decision to switch from an index to a handheld. All the reviews I have seen so far are promising but the price point is very prohibitive. They will retail for around $420 here in Australia which is for the aluminium one I think. For now anyway I’ve gone with the carter evolution 20, might look at a Stan thumb button later down the track as they seem to be a bit more affordable.
Your probably holding the Medium U.V button, they were the first ones released I believe. Large comes out later on with a 2 finger and 4 finger attachments / brackets from what I've heard. That's why i waited... Definitely debating running the U.V Button simply because I use the U.V 2.0 at the moment and I can switch back and forth without making and bow and or sight adjustments.
Great review. Started out with a bit of a burn on Chris Bee and the unltraview guys. 🤣 I tried one the other day. The medium is definitely too small for my hand. It does have a good feel to it, but a bit wide in the fingers. It does not stay in the knuckle grooves as easy as the Stan's. The slightly rotated head made absolutely no difference in the shot. Every other function it has is standard on the Stan. The poly bushings in the release made no noticeable improvement to the shot break of feel on the trigger. I agree on the price. It is more than all of the other top releases and comes with less accessories to custom fit it to your needs.
Thanks Tim for another solid “average guy who like to shoot his bow” review. I particularly like the way you present products and give the straight skinny on them. As you mentioned, 300 bucks is above my price point as a retired guy. I know engineering is expensive. But the cost for me just, like new bows, has gotten out of control. Why would I want to spend ~1200$ for a bow that doesn’t shoot (rated) as fast as my 2015? Yeah, I would love to have the newest of the latest and greatest, but my $$$ won’t stretch that far. Keep up the vids, you guys are entertaining as well as informative!

The rules of English allow for the creation of the word feelability. Given it's root feelable and it's noun suffix -ability it is the qualitative assessment of the tactile nature of something.

Like you said, Tim - the $300-$350 cost is a huge hang up for me as well. Coming from a Wise Choice which is $100 less with almost the same feel, if not better, I can't see dropping that $$ on the UV.

Can you do a review on the trufire sear? I've been looking at them for a lil while and there's very few unbiased opinions on that release.
would love to see yall shoot with HUSHIN and WHITETAIL FIT, SEEK ONE
You mentioned the size of your hand for reference, but I didn’t catch if you were reviewing the Large or Medium UV button?
I got one ordered simply because it's the only true "matching" release it's the same shape and size as their hinge but where it differs from the nock on line and the stan line is the hook on their thumb opens in the same direction as the hook on their hinge. where all the other brands the hook opens opposite to their hinges. Does it make a difference? I have no idea but I think the less difference there is the more repeatable it'll be.
What thumb barrel are you running on the wise choice?
Feelability- “ depends on her mood”.
The price is a little crazy. The Carter Wise Choice was $229 most places. The newer model doesn’t have trigger travel only trigger tension adjustment. It’s smoother and has a more crisp break IMO.

Call me crazy but Stan already invented everything in this release except 2 things. The different style of grooves on the knobs and the bushing instead of metal on metal contact. However, the Stan has a lot more adjustability. I’m not even sure if the bushings are helpful because it’s still pretty darn loud. Is it just me or is Ultraview becoming the apple of archery? Reinvent our customers products but have better marketing

I have a 4 fingered carter chocolate addiction that I love but would like this but I have never used a 3 finger. Does it make it harder to draw the bow?
Especially for them to try to compete against Stan relit's staying releases Stan has the best trigger in the market
Tim, Did you notice that your anchor point changed at all? Mine definitely did. It's the only thing really bugging me about this release. The neck is so long that my knuckles are now at my ear where before I can just bearly feel them touching my ear. It bugs the hell out of me lol. Would a quick fix be to shorten my D loop? Thanks.
The new release looks cool but I'm more then happy with my stan perfex. Don't even feel the need to try the new release from ultra view

It’s a great release I love mine, I have a few different kinds, index and thumb, but this one is different. And also it’s not supposed to sit in your knuckles it’s wide because it is supposed to fit between your knuckles on the flat part on middle of your finger. To me it’s worth every penny but at the end of the day they all get the job done, get what fits best for you

Inside out precious would be cool to do a video with
I agree with Tim. The timing of the release is poor for me. Hunting season is beginning. I'm NOT changing. Bow is dialed and tuned and all my equipment is ready to roll. Not swapping sights or releases. After season I'll take a look. I shoot the UV3XL and I shoot the UV grip, but they created the most expensive release ever. The price point is prohibitive for me. It is a small price compared to the money I have in saddle and bow and hunting gear, but I can't imagine it is that much better than a Carter which has years of proven results. Also I know I would need a large so... NOT a fan of the thickness of it either I can see that already.
I bought the UV Button back in August and have shot it exclusively for the last 5 months. Last weekend I tried a round of 3D with my Carter Wise Choice and realized after shooting the round that I actually prefer it to the Button. Fits my hand better and personally I think it triggers better than the Button. Maybe it’s the loss of draw length, not sure but I am sticking with my Wise Choice. Already got someone who wants to buy the Button so this is one UV product I will pass on.
do a video with the hunting public crew
colab with bow disciples would be awesome
Collaboration with whitetail habitat solutions would be awesome. Learned a tons from his channel. Solid content
Maybe try in the future. Right now I will stay with my Carter but I am ever evolving in my shooting and may try in the future. If the price was lower I may but that is keeping were I am at right now.

I get what they are trying to do with it, they cater a lot to the competition target shooter's more so than the hunting community, and the competition target shooter's tend to have deeper pockets. With this they are attempting to blend the two worlds, and with everything I've seen from it they are succeeding... except in the price category. If it comes down in price I'll probably grab one to tinker with.

I love the content you guys put out. However, I think this UV button missed the mark. It seems like a solid release, but I don’t think they did enough to justify a $50 jump over the Stan Onnex( brass). It’s less customizable. I really hope with UV putting out a $350 thumb button doesn’t drive up the price of other thumb buttons in the future.

So I just got my hand on my uv thumb button the aluminum one to be specific and coming from a Stanley xl I can say the feel in hand is a huge W and it’s lighter more texture on the thumb barrel really helps a lot with target panic and it’s 10000% adjustable witch is AMAZING I will agree with what he was saying about the way it’s longer than most releases and my anchor point has changed with for me is good i feel more comfortable with it where it is and I have been shooting tighter groups in the past two days I’ve had it so in my opinion it’s a solid 7/10 release if you have the money to spend on it give it a shot but if not keep shooting what your comfortable with and you’ll be good accuracy over looks is important 🤌🤌🤌

Drop that sucker about $100 and I’m in.
I think this release was a miss by ultraview. Mainly just because of the price point. Plenty of options that are just as good at a lower price. Yes, it’s cool that it pairs well with their hinge, but I don’t think it’s as big of a factor as people think. I shoot my nock 2 it and uv hinge just as good as each other.
Call me crazy but there’s not a release on earth worth $350.
