Bow releases.

[PSE13]

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good release? Thumb or wrist. Currently shooting a Scott (can’t remember the model). I’m finding that the jaw is not always releasing properly. I have tried lubricating it but it doesn’t seem to have helped much. Thanks in advance!

I haven’t shot vertical in about 10 years, so take it for what it’s worth. But I wouldn’t think about changing my release during the season. I would replace it with the same model and revisit this thought after the season.

Definitely not going to change mid season. Just wanting some input to get the ball rolling..

I bought a 4 finger release Tru Fire Edge. Havent complain yet. I'm liking it so far. I used to have Tru fire wrist release. I'm liking the the 4 finger release. I dont like pulling it with my wrist anymore...

Paid I think 100 something, I dont remember. So, in couple years I'm going to look for a better one. Will be doing research too.

I shoot a Stan Shootoff Quattro Large with an aftermarket XXL barrel. I'll never shoot another release as long as this one functions and/or I can buy another. Mine's set pretty light so I don't have to pull too far, but also so I can pinch my pinky to my thumb and trigger it quickly when back tension isn't and an option. Little pricey, but built to last and the performance is reliable and remarkable.

This is what I use...like Jesse said, when you find one that you like, buy two so you’ll have a backup. I shot mine so much that the spot where the release clamped onto the string was worn away...had a tough time finding another one exactly like the one I had.

I have the Scott Littlegoose and I absolutely love it. If something ever goes wrong with it I will replace it with the same thing.

Me too. Been using mine since 2007. I just oil it a couple times a year

I have been looking at this release. I have been wanting to try one but not pay a boat load for it. They’re made in the USA and I have a buddy that can get it a little cheaper with his discount.

Ive always shot the wrist realeases. I got a couple buddies that like the other but never switched once i started using a wrist realease . Tru_ fire realeases have been good too me. Istill have first one i started with a long time ago and it works fine. Its a back up to a better model tru fire i got about 6 yrs ago.

I would try and go to a local shop and shoot as many different ones as you can. I have wasted a ton of money on releases I thought I would like but ended up hating. I can tell you a great set of releases to have are the Nock on Nock 2 it and Silverback. One is a standard thumb style release and the other is a tension release. They are identical in shape and size just different release mechanisms. I switch back and forth between the two every time I shoot to make sure I am using back tension and focus on pulling through and not punching. Check archery talk too. They always have a ton of releases on there for great prices. Another great release to check out might be the trufire synapse. That one feels very natural my hand and has a ton of different adjustments to really fine tune it to you.

If you send your release into scott they will repair or send you replacement parts. Whenever i have need something from them it has always been free of charge. Great company.

I am pretty partal to carter for thumb releases. Scott carter and stan are great release companies. I also prefer single jaw or hook releases. You might have a hard time finding a local store that carries the a selection of the higher end releases in store. Like rsmith mentioned look on archerytalk for deals. I have never had a problem with any used archery gear. I have used lens, scopes, releases, rests, sights, bars, and a number of bows. With how fast archery gear depreciates due to almost yearly model changes buying slightly used saves you a ton of money.

So just an update. I had my buddy go ahead and get that release. He ended up getting it for $46 instead of $79.99. Come to find out it’s made by Tru-Fire. It’s actually a Tru-Fire Hardcore Revolution rebranded for basspro. I will post up more after I get around to trying it. I’m going to finish out the season with my old release

Nice. Good luck with the new one

Carter releases are awesome. Worth the lofty price tag.
