Clean releases are crucial for achieving consistent arrow flight, especially with compound bows. At Los Cazadores, the selection of releases and release accessories includes options for bowhunters and target archers who want greater shot control, smoother execution, and better groupings at every distance.
Choosing the right release—whether wrist strap, handheld, or thumb-trigger—helps minimize string torque, improves timing, and builds better shooting form across all skill levels.
There are several types of release aids, each suited for different shooting preferences. Wrist-strap releases are popular for hunting because they allow quick shots with minimal movement and offer secure attachment. Handheld releases provide fine-tuned control, often favored by target archers or hunters who prioritize precise shot execution. Thumb releases and hinge (back-tension) releases further refine control and consistency, especially during extended practice sessions or tournaments.
Accessories such as replacement straps, trigger adjustments, and string loops also allow archers to customize the feel and response of their release for maximum comfort and reliability.
Most bowhunters prefer wrist-strap index releases because they are easy to use with minimal setup and allow quick, repeatable shooting in dynamic conditions.
Handheld thumb or hinge releases can offer improved shot execution and tighter groupings by encouraging a more natural pull-through motion and minimizing punching the trigger.
Yes. Using a D-loop reduces torque on the bowstring and helps maintain consistent nock travel, which improves overall accuracy.
Most release aids have adjustable trigger tension and travel. Proper adjustment allows the release to fire smoothly without excessive movement or anticipated shots. Fine-tuning this can improve shot consistency over time.
Yes. Like any mechanical device, release aids experience wear, particularly in trigger mechanisms, jaws, and straps. Regular inspection and maintenance help extend lifespan and maintain reliability.
