Bow release aids

I use a Scott that I’ve had for around fifteen years. No idea what it would cost to replace it.

I have two trufire wrist strap releases.

I use the Scott that wraps around your wrist and clamps to the string.

I see a lot of tournament shooters who use the smaller ones which fit in your palm and do not clamp the string, I've never researched why.

Those are hinge releases, they fire when the handle is slowly turned so the archer usually can’t anticipate firing and flinch, which is a big deal in target archery where every millimeter matters. Some use them for hunting and will argue otherwise but they aren’t well suited for it. The handle has to be slowly turned no matter what the animal is doing, and past a certain point it can’t be let down and is going to fire.

I have a Scott Mongoose and avTruBall T-handle. I like them both.

I once had a thumb pressure release, but tossed it after a few smacks to the face and lost arrows.

I have the same release ive had for 10 yrs. its the caliper crab claw grabber type. The only complaint is that it isnt great for low light conditions to fully grab the d loop. Gotta be lined up right whereas the curved hook type are easier in low light and even full light conditions. But im a cheap hunter and what works is what i use

I'm using a trufire hardcore. It's a wrist buckle trigger fired with a hook.

I like buckle over velcro and hook over claw. Vecrobseems loud as hell and it's easier to maintain exact same length.

The hook is easier for me to attach without looking. Adjustable length and trigger is nice.

I’ve been shooting a Scott little goose wrist strap release for years, works fine. Have a good friend that shoots handheld thumb button. I like it because having a wrist release strap on, you will notice it gets in the way. It does take some learning imo to shoot those. I would never hunt with a back tension release. Like all else bow related, find what fits you.
