Compound archery without the use of releases

If you have just bought a compound bow, you may be wondering if it is possible to shoot with a compound bow without releasing a trigger.

In the picture, you can see many compound archers who use the release (release) to pull and release the bow, but if you do not want to buy the release, you can also use a special fever or gloves to draw the compound bow.

In the following, the reasons for using the release will be explained

The main question is:

Can you shoot a compound bow without a release
Is it possible to shoot with a compound bow without releasing it?

Yes, you can shoot with a compound bow without releasing it, if your bow allows.



The biggest difference between recreo and compound bows is the limbs or arches, which are shorter in compound. In most compound arcs, the short arm causes a sharp angle to the drain, making it difficult to use the finger to catch the drain without hitting the arrow. This is not a good thing because your fingers hit the arrow, causing an error in accurate aiming.

Another reason why shooters prefer to use releases is convenience. Most compound bows have a higher weight than the ricro, and a lot of force is applied to the fingers to pull it, and it is not comfortable for many people.



Does using the release increase accuracy?

Yes, in general, the use of releases reduces errors and increases accuracy. In compound archery competitions in the compound class, only releases are allowed, this is one of the universal rules of archery and increases the accuracy of aiming.

This is because the fingers get tired of holding the drain while releasing the release trigger is easier because you do not hold the drain directly.

A very good reason to use the release

Compared to a ricochet bow, you have to be more careful when drawing a bow. If your drain is twisted and you do not pull the drain properly, the drain may come out low (spool) and cause damage to you and your bow.



How to shoot without releases?



Due to the above, if you do not want to use the release, it is better to buy a compound bow with a larger limb and a smaller drainage angle. Small hunting bows have a steeper drainage angle than racing bows.

Another way is to choose a lower shape and length of tension. In this case, it is better to use two fingers to draw the bow, which is often used in traditional bow training.
