Releases & Tabs/Gloves

How you release the string — with a mechanical release aid, a finger tab, or a shooting glove — shapes your consistency, and the right choice follows your bow and style.

About releases & tabs/gloves

The way you let go of the string is a major part of a clean, repeatable shot. Mechanical release aids, used mostly with compound bows, trigger the string release crisply and come in wrist-strap (index-finger), handheld (thumb), and back-tension styles. Finger tabs protect the fingers and smooth the release for recurve and target archers. Shooting gloves serve traditional and instinctive shooters who draw with bare fingers. The right option depends on your bow, your discipline, and what feels repeatable in your hands — and switching can change your whole shot, so it’s worth getting advice first.
