Collection: Releases

A quality release aid is one of the most important investments an archer can make — it directly affects accuracy, consistency, and shot execution. At Glenwood Springs Outdoors we carry wrist strap, handheld, thumb, and back tension releases for hunting, target, and 3D archery.

Wrist Strap — The most popular choice for bowhunters. Secure, won't be dropped at the moment of truth, adjustable trigger sensitivity, and comfortable for all-day wear. Great for beginners and experienced hunters alike.

Handheld & Thumb — Favored by competitive target archers for reduced torque, smoother trigger pull, and superior back tension technique. Thumb releases offer quick activation and are gaining popularity with western bowhunters who want speed and reliability.

Back Tension & Hinge — Fire through back tension rather than a trigger. Excellent for eliminating target panic, building proper form, and developing a surprise shot break. A valuable training tool regardless of what you hunt with.

Most modern releases offer adjustable trigger travel, sensitivity, jaw size, and wrist strap length. Our staff can help you find the right fit and dial it in. Available in store at Glenwood Springs Outdoors, 831 Grand Ave, Glenwood Springs, CO.
