Every bowhunter wants to be successful. To that end, we spend lots of money buying the best equipment and then spend lots of time practicing with it. Practice, however, only helps if you practice proper technique, and at the top of that list is our practice with our release aids.

The fact is, most bowhunters don’t practice year-round in order to perfect their release-aid skills. The good news is, you don’t have to. You can improve your release-aid skills with just a little guidance and time invested. The following tips on technique will give you the basic skills you need to improve. Follow them, and you will shoot more accurately and harvest more game!
