How to Use a Tru Ball Spike Archery Release

In archery, a mechanical release allows for the arrow to be released without the fingers touching the strings, which can cause tension and shaking and result in a poor shot. Tru Ball, a leader in archery equipment, specializes in mechanical release devices for use with compound bows. The release is used in place of the fingers and attached to a nock loop on the bow string, then released by depressing a trigger. The Tru Ball Spike release is a simple mechanical release with no adjustment settings. It should be used in accordance with safe archery practices at all times.

Instructions

      Place the arrow onto the bow in the nock. All bows vary slightly in the nocking placement, but this simply means to set the arrow onto the string as you normally would prior to drawing the string.

      Place your hand into the Tru Ball Spike strap, with the trigger mechanism in your palm, and the strap looped over the back of your hand.

    • 3

      Hook the bow-string nock-loop with the Tru Ball Spike front hook. Ensure that your release button is not engaged.

      Draw back to your shooting position and aim at the target. Depress the trigger release when you're ready to fire.
