Zenith Hunter Release

The perfect hunting shot

The new Zenith Archery Hunter release features a spring-loaded head, which allows easy string loading and eliminates moving-part noise.

Would you ever take a back-tension release to the hunting woods? For some of you that have played around with a back-tension release, you are probably thinking that you wouldn’t. Believe it or not, some shooters do hunt with this type of release simply because it is the release they have shot all summer in competition and they are deadly with it.

Most back-tension shooters, however, do make the switch in late summer after the competition season is over. And why wouldn’t they make the switch? A caliper style release is easier to load and makes less noise — right? That may have been true in the past; now it’s a matter of opinion. There is a new back-tension release on the market that will be logging some hunting time.

Thanks to Zenith Archery, the times have changed a little with a new back-tension release that is hunter friendly. The secret is all in the “Silent Stalker” head. No more worrying about moving the release head into the correct position and metal parts banging into one another — the spring-loaded head does it all.

The release doesn’t look any different than your normal back-tension release. The only difference, as stated above, is the spring-loaded head. The spring tension keeps the head back in firing (or loading) position at all times, making it much easier to attach to the string at crucial times. The spring tension that keeps the head back also makes the release noise free since there are no freely moving parts.

I will be the first to admit that a back-tension release is not for everyone, with respect to hunting. Some hunters would never be able to fully trust the “surprise shot,” for which they mainly known to produce. However, it is my opinion that no hunter should be without one. Practicing with a back-tension release will teach you to be patient with your shots and will rid you of any target panic that you may have.

This release will give you the “perfect shot.” Once you get over the surprise-shot jitters and become comfortable controlling the shot, you may find yourself taking it with you on your next hunt — I know I plan too.

The Zenith Hunter back-tension release will show you a whole new world of accurate shooting. Give one a try, I promise you will not be sorry that you did.
