Release

A release is a mechanical release device used with a compound bow instead of fingers to let go of the string. It is usually held in the hand or worn on the wrist and hooks onto a D-loop on the string.

Functions:

  • Allows very controlled, clean release
  • Minimizes sideways influence on the string
  • Provides high repeatability

Types:

  • Handheld release – thumb or back-tension activated
  • Wrist release – with a trigger mechanism
