Tournament archers and many hunters prefer hand-held releases because they are designed to shoot using your back muscles. They also provide for more consistent anchoring. There are two styles of hand-held releases – back tension, which SCOTT has offered since 2002, and thumb button which is a triggered hand-held release. SCOTT’s thumb button releases are built on the same platform as Longhorn Series Releases which allows you to seamlessly transition from one to the other.
