  • Quality Release at a Good Price Point
After spending a couple of weeks with this release, I've come to love it! I was looking for a simple thumb release to replace my over 30 year old, recently failed Hot Shot release, (Got my money's worth from that one!), but didn't want to pay $200+ for a release that I would only use occasionally. I normally shoot a Scott caliper style release but suffer from bouts of target panic every so often. When this happens, I switch to the thumb release for a week or so to rid myself of the shot anticipation that causes my target panic, and then I am fine to back to the caliper release. However, I may not go back this time! I am finding that I shoot every bit as well with this release as I ever did with the caliper on my best days and am overall more consistent. It is not yet as comfortable to me as the caliper, but I think that will come with time and familiarity. I initially used the 3 finger extension, removed the wrist strap, and used the lanyard to loop over my hand similar to how the old Hot Shot was set up. This gave me a familiar feel and shot process that I was happy with. However I continued to experiment (this is a very versatile release) and the configuration that I settled on for hunting is *with* the wrist strap and the four finger extension. With the strap I found that I can tuck the release between the strap and my palm and wrist, leaving my hands completely free and the release secure. Using the four finger extension, I use mainly my first and third fingers to draw, lock my thumb around the button while settling into my anchor, then slowly relax my hand and slightly squeeze with my ring and pinky fingers while applying back tension to release the shot similar to the way you would shoot a hinge. The shot always breaks crisply and surprises me each time. For me this works absolutely brilliant! The Positive: Well thought out design and obvious quality. Crisp sear. Lots of adjustability. Reasonable price. The Negative: As others have mentioned, the release is noisy at the shot due to metal on metal contact of the jaw. I don't think this should be a deal breaker though as it is not nearly as loud as the bow. (And my bow is relatively quiet.) You notice it however since it is right next to your ear. It would also be nice if the sear tension was adjustable as well as the travel. Also, the Hot Shot has a spring on the jaw that keeps it open after the shot so you can quickly hook it on and close it for the next shot. This would be a nice feature to have. None of these issues are deal breakers for me however, and if they were addressed I'm sure it would be at a higher price point. Overall I think Scott did a good job on this one. Would definitely buy again! ... show more

  • Excellent release, reasonable price
Don't know why there aren't better reviews on this release. I have been shooting for better than 30 years. For the price of this release I can't find anything I would change, except maybe the buckle on the wrist strap, which is difficult to buckle up using only one hand, but no big deal. I prefer to use it without the wrist strap anyway. The trigger is as smooth as glass, and works flawlessly. It came adjusted perfectly out of the box. The ability to change it from a 3 finger to a 4 finger is a nice feature. Definitely a great value. ... show more

  • Good release
Originally I loved the fact this came with a wrist strap. I am new to shooting a thumb button and have a bow thats 82 lbs...I've seen what happens when rhe release slips from your hand and hits the riser...its a new bow. Having the wrist strap ensured this wouldn't happen. Trigger mechanism is very adjustable...almost too much so...you can easily adjust too light. It's got a crisp clean break with minimal back tension and the barrel is adjustable forward back and up and down. The original reason I got this release was for for wrist strap....after shooting more and getting more comfortable with it I've taken rhe strap off and leave it clipped to my d-loop while stalking antelope and deer etc. Having your release already hooked to your d loop is a huge advantage while spot ans stalk hunting and allows you yo keep your dominant hand free to use range finder etc...shooting with the strap on can be cumbersome and makes setting the release difficult but with a little practice it's pretty doable. Over all you get way more for your money than most releases and competitors ... show more

  • Great and affordable
Materials are great, and after adapting to the fact that you have to manually close it to attach it to the loop it does the job and it does it very well. Only reason I didn’t like it is that the head doesn’t rotate which twists your loop if you try to adjust it to your support point which in my case my hand is parallel to my face. Otherwise I would recommend it ***UPDATE**** Well, call it inexperience, but after returning this release and trying a couple of other ones I realized how good the Scott Archery Pursuit is. Starting with materials and build, the SA Pursuit looks and feels high end. I’m waiting to try the trufire bulldog , but will probably buy the pursuit again in a couple of months (or sooner if price goes down) ****UPDATE SEP-21**** I found a great offer for the Pursuit release on another site and decided to buy it again. After trying a couple of other releases I realized that this is the one that feels more comfortable, accurate and works best for me. One plus that is not mentioned a lot is the fact that it doesn't damage the D-loop as fast as other releases. Very reliable, I would definitely recommended to anybody looking for a great mid-tier release ... show more

Here is the translation, written in a natural, colloquial American English style that captures the raw emotion and tone of your original post: Look at the photo. I completely smashed it to pieces. I bought this with high expectations because they said Scott is world-famous. (Thanks to this thing, my bow cam ended up rolling around on the floor.) When I first read reviews saying it slips and fires mid-draw, I thought, "No way..." Well, within a week of buying it, my lip got busted wide open. Then it happened again at the one-month mark. And today alone, it happened twice, leaving the inside of my lip completely shredded. Can I just brush this off? Haha, sure!! Or should I actually just accept this?? So I got so pissed off I smashed the whole thing. I am never buying this again. Want to know why I smashed it to pieces like this? Because I couldn't even draw my bow in peace due to anxiety! Every time I drew, I’d tense up from stress, thinking, "Please don't slip, please don't slip." I had to check and re-check multiple times to make sure it was locked properly before drawing... and because of that, I couldn't even focus on shooting! It is absolute trash of the highest order. Do not buy this. An AliExpress release for 30,000 won is way better... Why? Because I've never once had an AliExpress release slip on me mid-draw. At least there's zero anxiety with that. Save a bit more money and buy a different brand instead. Please... I'm begging you, do not buy it. When I first saw it on sale, I thought, "Alright, it's cheap, let's give it a try." But seriously... do not buy it. Cheap doesn't mean good. If you buy this just because it's a little cheaper than other brands, you're just increasing the chances of having to replace your bow parts—which means money flying right out of your wallet. So please, if you want to risk: Sky-high bow repair costs, Physical injury to your own body, Constant anxiety every single time you draw your bow, and Having to spend double to replace it because of all these issues... ...Then go ahead and buy it if you still want to ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What an absolute piece of garbage. I'm never buying this again. 사진 보세요 완전 개박살 냈어요 세계적으로 유명하다던 스캇 기대감으로 구매했습니다 (덕분에 내활 캠이 바닥에 나뒹굴렀어) 근데… 리뷰에 보이듯이 활을 당기는 도중에 터진다고 하길래 설마… 했습니다 근데 구매하고 일주일만에 입술이 터졌어요 그리고 한달째에 터지고 오늘 하루에만 2번 터져서 입술 안쪽이 너덜해요 이정도? 이해할수 있습니다 ㅎㅎ 하핫!! 이해 해야하나?? 그래서 화나서 전부다 부숴버렸어 절대 다시는 구매안할거고 이렇게 개박살 내놓은 이유? 불안해서 활을 당길수가 없어 당기면서 긴장감에 경직돼고 제발 터지지말아라 라는 생각으로 당기고 당기기전에 제대로 락이 걸렸는지 몇번이고 확인하고 또확인하고….그러다가 활에는 집중못하는…. 완전 개 쓰레기 중에 쓰레기 절대 사지마세요 알리 익스프레스에 3만원 짜리가 더 좋음…. 왜냐? 내가 알리 제품으로 당기는 도중에 터지는 경험은 한번도 안했거든 그래서 불안함은 없어 근데 이건… 이거 구매할돈 조금더 아껴서 다른 제품 구매해 제발… 진짜 제발 절대 사지마 나도 처음에 할인하는거 보고 그래.. 싸니깐 사보자 했는데 절대…. 사지마 싸다고 좋은게 아니야 다른 제품에 비해 조금 싸다고 구매했다가 당신 활의 부속품 교체해야할 가능성을 올리고 그말은 당신 지갑에서 돈이 나가야할 가능성을 올린다는 말이니깐 제발 조금 싼거 찾다가 활수리비용 내몸상하는부분 그리고 불안해 하면서 활을 당겨야하는 부분 그리고 이러한 모든 문제 때문에 이중 지출을 해야하는부분 전부 고려해도 사고싶으면 사라 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 개병신 같은거 나는 절대 안산다 ... show more

  • Beyond worth the money
First thing you do is ditch the wrist strap. I also shoot a tru-ball abyss, a $200+ release. I wanted something that I could attach to my d-loop and let hang for hunting. The pursuit is super customizable with travel and pressure adjustments as well as being able to place the thumb barrel just where you want it. It has a seat style firing mechanism which makes the break on the shot super crisp. It fells just as crisp asy abyss. IMO this release is worth every penny if not more. ... show more

  • American made, LOUD
This is a target shooters release.... Too loud for hunting. Not the best design for attachment to D-loop and locking in place. I could be nit picking. But the worst American craftsmanship is better than a china made special.
