I borrowed a back tension / hinge release from a friend and really liked it. However they dont seem to make that model anymore. Does anyone have any recommendations?

What make/model did you borrow??
I use a scott longhorn pro (brass release). I have shot quite a few different hinge releases over the years, but keep coming back to the Scott's
I've got a Scott Anchor that I shoot in the backyard. I really like the way it shoots, but it doesn't have a wrist strap. I'm probably going to drill a hole in it and put a dummy chord on it just so it stays attached to me.
I've also thought about getting on the waiting list for one of John Dudley's Silverback releases. It's a true back-tension release (won't release until you pull a specific tension.) Anybody have any experience with this type of release?
as for silverback, its predecessor, the carter evolution might be easier to find in stock. i found that style of release took more time and effort to get started than a hinge but a good training aid and having potential to pair with a matching thumb trigger would be nice
Silverback is epic. They do show you the amount of variation you put on each shot which can be extremely frustrating but that is the point. It shows you all the variations you put on the shot. For me, it has been six months shooting a Silverback and it has been an incredible journey. At first, it was epic and I thought, whoa this is easy. Then after a couple of weeks there was a massive regression and Ive been working out of it since. I can say that now, I am a much more consistent shot. It has taught me wonders about my shooting and that the release is not the problem, my inconsistencies are. Dudley has them in stock right now if you want.
