STAN Shootoff! Release

a little pricey but as good as it gets, smooth,crisp, lots of adjustments

I have been shooting compound for about 3 weeks, after a hiatus from shooting and switching from being a FITA target recurve shooter, Switching to a compound was a big change.

I was borrowing my girlfriends Carter Insatiable 4-finger thumb trigger release. It was ok, but felt uncomfortable to me. I was constantly dropping or throwing it on release (old recurve habit of totally relaxing the hand on release diehard). The thumb trigger is large, and fixed position sideways. I felt I couldnt treat it as a backtension assisted trigger due to the thumb bar position.

I tried a Stan ShootOff! Trio, which is exactly the same thickness and sizing for the main fingers as the Insatiable, but with 3 fingers and a pinky resting notch. The huge difference that sold me on the Stan is that the thumb trigger is smaller, and can be angled or rotated. This ability to angle and rotate the position of the thumb trigger made all the difference in how the release felt. I bought it immediately once I felt how comfortable it was to shooting. The fear of it going off vs the other release was gone.

Tunability of this makes it one I know i can learn and grow with for a while.

I've spent more money than I care to mention on finding that perfect release.My search is over! This release is amazing in comfort,simple to use micro adjustments,and a consistent crisp break. If your looking for release that has it all, THIS IS IT.I just ordered a second one.Gotta have a backup.

High price but very precise. I bought one for me and one for my son. Even although mine is adjusted at just one "hair of presure" the release always works without a flaw. Most trigger releases work perfect with some pressure on tbe triger but being consistent at a very light presure is difficult and this one works "perfect". One note, I live in Arizona, haven't tested it in cold weather.

This release is as good as it gets. Yes, it's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you want the best, pay for it.

Best handheld release I have ever shot

A nice release with lots of adjustment. Well made(with the exception of one of the screws that hold the whole thing together which has fallen out and disappeared) with a nice quality finish and a solid look about it. Easy to adjust without having to take it apart like other releases. I'd buy another one without a worry.

Stanislawski has done it again with this release. The shootoff is very well machined and is a perfect fit with a little more sweep at the fourth digit than the SX-2. For a high poundage bow I do prefer the quattro and it does deliver. Very clean, crisp release. I seriously do not think there is a finer release...except maybe the SX-2. Medium is truly medium for fit.

Best release I have shot and I have shot quite a few! The fit and finish are superb and the release remains crisp shot after shot allowing you to execute every shot with confidence. I would recommend this release to any serious archer. Had I bought this release first, I would have saved hundreds of dollars on releases I would not have bought.

Good release, but it is a little sensitive out of the box so watch your thumb but other than that it is a great release
