Scott Archery has introduced a hybrid release which functions as a back-tension style release in a versatile index-finger design, boasting maximum comfort.

Over the years, more and more archers have gravitated to executing shots with their back muscles involved, and understand the importance of proper shooting mechanics. “The Verge really decreases the steep learning curve that can be involved when transitioning to a back tension/hinge release and greets the demand from shooters wanting a hybrid style release.” Josh Sidebottom, COO states.

The Verge is the culmination of nearly two years of research, design and testing, which includes input from some of the country’s top professional archers. Long-time finger shooter, Lewis Holmes, believes, “The Verge is an index finger release with the mental benefits of a hinge. This release will change the mental game for hunters while achieving that pinpoint accuracy that target archers and hunters expect.”

With the ability to create a custom feel, the Verge’s adjustable, two-finger trigger design allows archers the ability to execute a shot with numerous finger-placement options. The Verge’s single-sear mechanics not only has adjustable travel settings but also offers the ability to add a pre-shot click option to create a custom-tailored shot. The slim, auto-return open-hook design features a pivoting swivel connector to reduce torque while anchoring for maximum accuracy, while the NCS Strap accommodates all hand sizes.
