Ultraview UV Hinge 3 Aluminum

Ultraview UV Hinge 3 Aluminum — Seven Years of Refinement. One Release.

After seven years and two generations of Hinge, Ultraview went back to what makes a hinge release truly great — and built it from scratch. The UV Hinge 3 Aluminum is the result. A single-moon system that simplifies reliability without sacrificing adjustability. Swappable hooks that let you dial your click-to-fire length in seconds. The first-of-its-kind Integrated Thumb Pad. And the same Ultraview precision and ergonomics that made the Hinge 1 and Hinge 2 two of the most trusted releases on the market. Made in the USA.

This is the cleanest hinge Ultraview has ever built — and it shows the moment you pick it up.

Key Features

Exceptional Feel — Shortened Neck, New Finger Bed Grooves

Ultraview's industry-leading ergonomic design is tuned to the shape of your hand, and the Hinge 3 takes it further. A shortened neck maintains your draw length more consistently across shots. New finger bed grooves provide exactly the right amount of grip and feedback for firm, repeatable hand placement — draw after draw, shot after shot. If you've ever fought inconsistent hand position on a hinge release, this is what the solution feels like.

Single-Moon System — Simplified Reliability

The Hinge 3 runs a single-moon system — a deliberate design choice over the dual-moon setup on the Hinge 2. Single moon simplifies the mechanics, reduces variance, and improves shot-to-shot reliability. Less moving parts, more consistent execution. For archers chasing repeatable performance, that simplification is a real upgrade.

Swappable Click Lengths

Choose no-click, or dial in your exact click-to-fire length by swapping hooks. The Hinge 3 comes with a 0.028 hook installed — the longest click-to-fire option — and additional hooks in No Click, .016, .020, .024, and .028 are sold separately. The larger the number, the longer the click-to-fire length. Swap hooks in seconds. No tools, no headaches. This bulletproof design removes moon variance and slippage for reliable precision every time.

Integrated Thumb Pad — First of Its Kind

The Integrated Thumb Pad is a genuine first on a hinge release. Optimized in size and position to offer a more natural, repeatable thumb placement — it reinvents the hunting bracket concept from the original Hinge 1 and builds it directly into the release body. More consistent thumb position means more consistent shot execution. It's the kind of detail that separates a good release from a great one.

Micro-Adjust — Best Adjustment System Ever in a Hinge

The Hinge 3's Micro-Adjust system is Ultraview's best adjustment system ever in a hinge release. Precise, effortless, and easy to read with a laser-engraved scale. No guessing, no over-adjusting — just clean, repeatable micro-adjustments every time you need them.

Magnetic Head Retention

An internal magnet quietly snaps the hook back in place after each shot. No flopping, no noise, always ready for the next draw. In the field, where silence matters, this is the detail that makes a difference.

Swappable Finger Accessories

Personalize the fit and feel of your Hinge 3 by swapping to a 2-finger or 4-finger attachment. Additional finger attachments are sold separately. Whether you're a 3-finger target shooter or a 2-finger hunter, the Hinge 3 adapts to your hand.

Ultra-Durable Black Nitride Coating

Internal design improvements make the Hinge 3 more dependable and tougher than previous UV releases. A black nitride coating on internal components keeps operation smooth and free of corrosion — even after seasons of hard use in the field.

Made in USA

The UV Hinge 3 is made in the USA from imported brass. Built to Ultraview's standard — which means it's built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the UV Hinge 3 Aluminum and Brass?

The aluminum version is lighter — better for archers who prefer a lighter release feel at full draw. The brass version adds significant weight, which some archers prefer for a more planted, stable feel. Both versions share the same features, adjustability, and performance — the choice comes down to personal preference for feel and weight.

What's the difference between Standard and XL size?

Standard fits most hands. XL is designed for larger hands that need more finger bed length. If you're unsure which size is right for you, give us a call and we can help you figure it out before you order.

What click length hook comes installed on the Hinge 3?

The Hinge 3 comes with a 0.028 hook installed — the longest click-to-fire option available. Additional hooks in No Click, .016, .020, .024, and .028 are sold separately as the UV Hinge 3 Hooks.

How do I choose the right click length?

The larger the number, the longer the distance from click to fire. A longer click-to-fire length gives you more time between the click and the shot firing — useful for archers who need more time in their shot process. A shorter length or no-click fires more quickly after the click point. Start with the included .028 and adjust from there based on your shot timing preference.

Can I switch to a 2-finger or 4-finger configuration?

Yes. Additional 2-finger and 4-finger attachments for the UV Hinge 3 are sold separately. The standard configuration is 3-finger.

Is the UV Hinge 3 compatible with all compound bows?

Yes. The UV Hinge 3 is compatible with all compound bows for both hunting and target archery.
