Reply to comment by 5zalot in TIL that many pro archers use surprise release mechanisms to prevent themselves from anticipating and reacting to the impending impact. by broogernavn

Yeah this is horse shit. Trigger releases are what they use. It's a clamp that holds onto a loop on the bowstring. They have extremely light triggers, comparable if not better than the nicest triggers you can buy on any rifle.

Yeah... No. Trigger release is something your average archery hunter is going to use for deer season, not professional archery competition. My $50 Timney trigger in my Remington 700 is going to be lighter than any quick release simply because of string tension. And I have used some really nice quick releases.
