TRUGLO Detonator Single-Jaw Accurate Ultra-Quiet Ultra-Smooth Micro-Adjustable Archery Release Aid with BOA Fit System

I'm new to hunting/target but I love the single jaw over the double. You can get it super hairy and that's great for me, leave less time for error in my mind. Super comfortable on my wrist and the boa is awesome. Overall great product!

Boa strap is great. Single jaw has a great internal release system. I thought maybe when you pulled the trigger it opened the jaw in some sort of spring fashion but that is not the case. The single jaw is a free floating hook that once the trigger pulls past an adjustable point, the hook becomes free swiveling and completely releases any resistance. So if you were to pull the trigger open, you can play with the free floating single jaw hook as it just swivels freely. Nice set up. The only issue I have is that I am a lefty and my D loop naturally bends to the right. So it's hard for me to get the single jaw on the D loop currently without taking my thumb and pushing the D loop lack left. Not a release issue but I will probably take the D loop down to the left with hopes that it naturally bends the other way at some point. If it doesnt stay, I'll replace the D loop.

I love this release. It's so easy to use and you don't have to worry about holding your release after your shot.

Works great, we'll worth the money

Adjustability - 4 starsFunctionality - 5 starsComfort - 4 starsValue - 5 starsI'm new to archery and this is my first release aid. My budget was tight due to purchasing a new bow plus all of the accessories necessary to shoot said bow. I did a lot of research before purchsing this release on Amazon, archery forums, and online magazine articles. I will explain each category above related to my experience with this release aid. What I've learned as being one of (if not the) most important aspect of archery is consistency. Consistency in form, anchor points, sight and peep alignment, draw distance (this is where a hard backwall plays an important role), and just about every other aspect of shooting is necessary. This is the perspective I will use when reviewing each of the four categories above.Adjutability - First off, I like the length adjustment on this release. Remove the set screw on the side of the release shaft, turn the release in or out to achieve the desired length, then replace the set screw to secure in that location. Length adjustment defines where on your finger the trigger will fall (which is different for every hand), and is the first step towards acheiving a consistent, surprise release. If your finger has to reach too far to engage the trigger, then you will punch and torque the release on the d-loop which will influence the string travel and oscillation, yielding an inconsistant shot. With that said, I'm not as big of a fan of the BOA strap. Yes, the BOA strap is easy and quick to use. However, it is difficult to set it to the exact same setting on your wrist every time, which of course goes against the mantra of consistency in archery. Finally, the spring tension on the release trigger is adjustable (but I have not modified mine yet). I can't speak to how well this works, but I intend to test this coming week. I would like the travel on the trigger to be a bit shorter.Functionality - My experience so far is that this trigger releases in the same manner with every shot I've taken. All of the necessary adjusments are there, and they all seem to work well (aside from consistency in the BOA strap setting).Comfort - The soft, rounded edge of the strap is more comfotable than some of the other releases that have used, but the elastic in the region where the strap tightens down is a tiny bit annoying. This could be alleviated by extending some of the same strap material under the elasticized region.Value - I purchased this release from Amazon for approximately $64. I felt this was a great price for a hook-style release that has all the adjustments of other releases that reach and even exceed $100. Very good value in my opinion.Hope you find this review helpful. Cheers!Update (5/9/2016)I adjusted the trigger travel (spring force is not adjustable, but the travel distance is) and found that to be very useful. I was able to dial down the distance the trigger travels till release with a 1/16" allen wrench. This greatly improves the ability to get a surprise release using back tension and pulling through the shot. I do wish that the release came with some alternate springs, too. It would be nice to dial down the trigger travel and put a stiffer spring in the release. It's a bit of a hair trigger with the low spring force.I was mistaken on the length adjustability, you don't have to turn the release shaft, it just slides in or out to the desired setting. Another feature I forgot to mention is that the release shaft, once secured, is free to rotate 360º which allows you to position it to prevent torquing the d-loop once anchored for your shot.Cheers!

This is truly an awesome release. I actually bought 2. One for myself, and one for my wife. She loves the release about as much as I do! It's comfortable and easy to use. The Boa wrist system is great if you have small hands or wrists like we do. Just twist the knobs until the strap is snug and you're ready to shoot!

Absolutely love this release ! So comfortable and actually made it a lot easier to pull thru the shot compared to my other release

This release has made my grouping from 5-10 inch groups to within 3 inch groups consistently. The trigger is extremely smooth and quiet. I couldn’t have asked for a better release.

Awesome release, comfortable light and super crisp trigger.
