I’ve been looking at Archery releases lately to replace a scott single caliper that I got used with my bow. It’s a super simple and reliable single caliper, but the strap is starting to fray a bit and I don’t know how much longer I should trust it.
Reading up on releases, they all make similar and often contradictory claims. Like, nothing releases more consistently than a single sided caliper, nothing releases straighter than a double caliper, Scott claims their Hyper Jaw is the best of both worlds, most high level shooters, and the higher-end releases seem to use some form of hook.
Is there high speed video out there that can settle once and for all, which releases induce more lateral movement of the string?
Or, does that even matter? Is the feel to the shooter more important than the actual path the string is released from as long as it is consistent?
