Scott Archery

The release is where every clean shot starts, but it's not where it ends. A controlled break, a relaxed bow arm, and following through after the arrow leaves the string — that's the full picture. 🏹

What's the one thing in your shot process you're working on right now?

The most important thing about tuning a thumb release: it should fire as a result of your shot, not the cause of it.

Set the trigger sensitivity light enough that back tension drives the break, then let your thumb just contact the button without pressing. 🏹

Choosing your first release? Here are some reasons archers keep coming back to the wrist strap👇

• It's already there, strapped to your wrist.
• Performs well pressure
• Simple and reliable

Shooting with a wrist strap isn't the only way to shoot a bow, but for most hunters, it's the right way. 🏹

Every Scott shooter has the one they keep coming back to. We're curios as to which one that is for you, and what specific details makes you trust it?

Bow hunting turkeys is one of the most demanding shot scenarios in archery. 👉 The bird is close, the cover is thin, his head is constantly moving, and you only have one shot...

Who else is looking forward to the fall season?

Your release isn't broken or perfect, it's set somewhere on a spectrum. Where you live on that spectrum changes everything about how your shot breaks. 👇

✅ Hot trigger
Light pull weight, breaks fast, minimal pressure to set off. → Feels effortless. But if you have any tendency to punch the trigger, your shot is about to inherit every habit you've worked to fix.

✅ Cold trigger
Heavier pull weight, slower break, real intention required to set it off. → More forgiving for archers still working on ex*****on. Set it too heavy and you'll start fighting it instead of trusting it.

✅ At the range
Hot: fast shots, but every flinch shows up in your group. → Cold: slower shot process, easier to feel back tension, but you can stall at full draw if it's overcooked.

✅ At the moment of truth
Hot trigger can fire before your shot is ready. Cold trigger waits for you. → The right setting is the one that breaks exactly when YOU decide.

You want to pick the setting that breaks exactly when you decide to break it, even if that means a few extra range sessions to dial it in. We've but our releases around that kind of fine adjustability, because we wanted to make finding that setting easy and possible.

If you've ever struggled to get a release to break the same way twice, you already understand why the Ghost has the reputation it does. Index releases live or die on consistency, and Scott has spent decades figuring out exactly what makes a trigger break clean, hold up, and feel right at full draw. The Ghost is what happens when all of that work goes into a single release. Quiet, repeatable, and built to make a target look exactly like this one.
