Release aid is a device used in archery to help shooters release the bowstring more consistently and accurately. It typically attaches to the archer's wrist or fingers and allows for a smooth, controlled release, reducing the chances of torque or unwanted movement that can affect the arrow's flight. These aids come in various forms, including trigger releases and index finger releases. By using a release aid, archers can improve their shooting technique and overall performance, making it easier to focus on aiming and follow-through without worrying about the release itself.
