Our Story
How did we
get here?
The Holy Spirit showed me how the head, hook and rod would be shaped in the spring of 2025. At a 906 Community Church service in late May, He showed me how to make the other parts. I didn’t understand at the time why the parts were shaped the way they are. I learned that the parts make the release very adjustable.
I made the first prototype in early June. Hadn’t shot it 50 times. When I took it to the local archery range in Gwinn, MI I shot a 299 out of 300 in the first round. I thought to myself, wow this thing is easy to learn how to shoot. Draw the bow making a nice, tight fist. Anchor, aim, then let the muscles in the release forearm relax. The hand naturally opens. The release is connected to a wrist strap or rope. Once the release is adjusted to the shooter’s hand there is very little movement to fire the shot. When the hand opens it pulls on a rod. When the rod pulls back it releases the hook firing the shot.
Thank you to Innovate Marquette Smartzone for helping with refinements. They are currently printing a carbon fiber version. It has a keyway system that keeps the rod from turning. The machined plastic and metal versions have a flat spot cut into the rod and a grub screw in the head to keep the rod from turning.

Most feedback we’ve received so far relates to how different the release is to present shooting releases. The expressions on peoples’ faces when the release lets go are priceless. A true surprise release.
