T.R.U. Ball Beast XT Hybrid Buckle — Three-in-One Trigger Wrist Strap Release
The T.R.U. Ball Beast XT Hybrid Buckle is one of the most versatile hunting releases T.R.U. Ball makes. It features the same proven head as the Short-N-Sweet'R combined with a solid in-line body, a Globo-Swivel wrist strap connector, and a Three-in-One Hybrid Trigger that gives you three distinct firing positions in a single release. Forward for maximum speed, straight for balanced control, swept-back for a relaxed, tension-free feel. The open hook loads as fast as your hands can move, the X-Tra Tough grip locks the release in place through the draw cycle, and the travel adjustment with lock screw keeps your settings locked in from the first practice session through the last day of the season. This version ships with T.R.U. Ball's Black Leather Buckle strap — a top-grain leather strap with metal hardware and 8 sizing holes for a consistent, repeatable fit every time you gear up.
Key Features of the T.R.U. Ball Beast XT Hybrid Buckle
Three-in-One Hybrid Trigger System
The Beast XT's hybrid trigger is the release's defining feature. A single trigger head offers three distinct attachment positions: forward for maximum trigger speed and aggressive shooting style, straight for a balanced, natural feel, and swept-back for a relaxed hold that reduces grip torque. Three complete shooting personalities in one release — change your preference between seasons without buying a new release.
Open Hook Design
The open hook loads as fast as your hands can move. No fidgeting at full draw, no delay getting onto the D-loop — just a fast, clean connection that delivers a low-torque break every time. It's the right hook design for hunting situations where you may only have a second or two to draw and execute.
Solid In-Line Body Connection
The solid body runs straight from the wrist strap connector to the hook head, keeping everything in line with the direction of the draw. This design promotes natural, consistent form and reduces the lateral torque that causes erratic arrow flight with poorly positioned releases.
X-Tra Tough Textured Grip
T.R.U. Ball's X-Tra Tough grip texture keeps the release body firmly in your hand from draw to release — no slipping, no repositioning mid-draw. Whether you're wearing gloves in a late-season stand or shooting bare-handed in the heat, the grip holds.
Travel Adjustment with Lock Screw
The travel adjustment screw sets exactly how far the trigger moves before the release fires. A dedicated lock screw secures the setting so it doesn't shift through repeated use. Set it before the season, lock it, and trust it.
Globo-Swivel Connector
The Globo-Swivel features a solid steel round connector adjustable in 3/16" increments across five positions to match your finger length precisely. Lock it with dual screws and it stays exactly where you set it, delivering consistent wrist-to-hook alignment shot after shot.
Black Leather Buckle Strap
The buckle strap on this version is made from top-grain leather with premium metal hardware. Eight sizing holes give you a consistent, secure fit every time you put the release on — no Velcro stretch, no adjustment drift. Available in Junior, Large, and X-Large.

Why Extreme Outfitters Recommends the T.R.U. Ball Beast XT Hybrid Buckle
The Beast XT Hybrid is one of those releases that keeps showing up in treestands and on 3D courses because it just works. The open hook loads fast, the three-position hybrid trigger gives you real flexibility in how you fire the release, and the Globo-Swivel keeps torque out of the picture. The leather buckle strap is a detail that matters — it doesn't stretch, it doesn't loosen mid-draw, and it gives you the same consistent fit every time you put it on. T.R.U. Ball built their name on wrist strap releases, and the Beast XT is still one of their best. At $109.99, it punches well above its price.

Frequently Asked Questions — T.R.U. Ball Beast XT Hybrid Buckle
What does the Three-in-One Hybrid Trigger mean?
The hybrid trigger has three attachment positions on the release body: forward, straight, and swept-back. Each position changes how the trigger feels and fires. Forward gives you maximum speed with a slight aggressive angle, straight gives balanced neutral feel, and swept-back gives a relaxed hold ideal for reducing grip tension. You can change positions between sessions based on your preference without buying a different release.
Why choose a buckle strap over Velcro?
Buckle straps use fixed sizing holes, which means you get the exact same fit every time you put the release on — no Velcro stretch or repositioning. They also tend to hold up better through seasons of hard use. The leather buckle on the Beast XT is top-grain leather with metal hardware, so it won't degrade through sweat, moisture, or repeated use.
What sizes does the Beast XT Hybrid Buckle come in?
Junior, Large, and X-Large. If you're unsure which size fits best, call us at Extreme Outfitters and we'll help you choose.
How does the Globo-Swivel connector help with torque?
The solid steel Globo-Swivel connector allows the wrist strap to pivot and flex naturally while keeping the release body aligned with your draw. Because it adjusts in 3/16" increments, you can match the connector length to your specific finger length — which eliminates the unintentional lateral torque that causes poor arrow flight with improperly fitted releases.
Can I adjust the trigger travel?
Yes. The travel adjustment screw controls how far the trigger moves before the release fires, and a dedicated lock screw secures the setting. Set it at the beginning of the season and it stays where you put it.
Is the Beast XT Hybrid also available with a Velcro strap?
Yes — the Beast XT Hybrid is also available with a Camo Velcro strap for those who prefer infinite adjustability and easy on/off access. Contact us or check the product listing for current availability.
