B3 Archery Flo Back Tension Release — The Most Customizable Hinge on the Market
Back tension releases are as much about fit as they are about function — and the B3 Archery Flo Back Tension was engineered to fit every archer differently, because no two hands are the same. The Flo BT is a patented hinge-style release featuring a magnetic auto-return hook, independent adjustable click and travel adjustments, and a handle system with adjustable finger attachments and positioning that puts the release exactly where your hand demands it. Whether you're a bowhunter looking to eliminate target panic or a competitive archer chasing tighter groups, the Flo BT delivers a shooting experience that's tailored to you — not the other way around.
Key Features of the B3 Flo Back Tension Release
Patented Magnetic Auto-Return Hook
The Flo BT's magnetic hook returns automatically after the shot without rubber bands or springs. It's quieter, more reliable, and eliminates the noise and failure points that come with traditional hook-return systems. In a hunting context, that means a silent draw on every shot.
Independent Click and Travel Adjustments
The Flo BT gives you independent control over both the click point and the travel distance between click and fire — two completely separate adjustments made with a hex key. Once you dial in the distance from click to fire, you can lock the two together and move them as a unit to adjust overall travel. No other hinge on the market offers this level of precise, independent tunability.
Adjustable Finger Positioning
The Flo BT includes an adjustable peg that separates your second and third fingers in the handle — a unique feature that lets you dial in finger separation precisely for your hand and hunting setup, including when wearing gloves.
Cerakote Handle
Available in cerakote brass or aluminum handle options. Cerakote provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish built to handle field conditions.
Adjustable Finger Attachments and Handle Positions
The handle system accommodates multiple finger attachment configurations and positions, allowing you to build a hinge release that fits your hand geometry rather than adapting your hand to the release.

- Experienced bowhunters comfortable with back tension who want a field-capable hinge with magnetic hook return
- Target archers who need the most adjustable hinge system available to fine-tune click and travel independently

Why Extreme Outfitters Recommends the Flo Back Tension
We recommend hinge releases carefully, because a hinge that doesn't fit is worse than no hinge at all. The Flo BT earns our recommendation specifically because its adjustment range is genuinely exceptional — the independent click and travel adjustments mean you can tune the shot timing with a precision that most hinges simply don't allow. Add the magnetic hook return and the adjustable finger separator, and you have a hinge that works for a wider range of hands and shooting styles than anything else we carry at this price point. If you're serious about shooting a hinge, this is the one to start with.
Frequently Asked Questions — B3 Flo Back Tension Release
Is the Flo BT suitable for bowhunting?
Yes, experienced back-tension shooters use the Flo BT for hunting. The magnetic hook return makes it quiet on the draw, and the compact design works in a hunting context. That said, hinge releases require practice and experience — if you're new to back tension, we recommend developing your technique at the range before taking it to the field.
What makes the click and travel adjustments different from other hinges?
Most hinges adjust click and travel together. The Flo BT adjusts them independently, so you can set the click point precisely where you want it without affecting overall travel, and vice versa. Once satisfied, you can link them and move them as a unit.
How does the magnetic hook return work?
A small magnet holds the hook in the cocked position and returns it after firing — no rubber bands, no springs. It's quieter and more reliable than spring-return systems.
Does the Flo BT work with gloves on?
Yes. The adjustable finger separator peg specifically addresses the need for precise finger separation when hunting with gloves, making it one of the more glove-friendly hinges available.
Is there a click on the Flo BT?
The click is adjustable — you can set it with a click, without a click, or adjust the timing of the click relative to the fire point. All adjustments are made with a hex key.
