Scott Archery Verge Release Review 

Make sure and give feedback

It’s an interesting release, so hats off to Scott for innovation. It’s an index release and is fired by finger movement. It does not operate as a true pull through release, but that’s not what it is supposed to be. It has a bunch of travel, which I think is intended to slow down shot execution and prevent punching. While keeping back tension, you slowly pull the trigger with your fingers and it eventually goes off. It’s a slower, smoother process than the typical index release in my opinion and you can get an unexpected discharge. So, the time you spend with the travel somewhat mimics the time you would spend pulling a true resistance or a thumb, or rotating a hinge. For someone not ready to move to a handheld, this may be a good way to smooth and slow the shot process a bit. Yes, it can be punched, but you can do that with any index, so no reason to buy this and punch it in my opinion. I may insert the sear that has no click and then reduce travel a little and see how that feels - but that is moving toward what every other index feels like. In any event, it is worthy of a positive review in my opinion.

I use the wise guy with a boa and it’s been my fav by far

Much be a first time viewer, he's been using the boa with every video for a release.

When tested that click was not nearly as loud as some of the locking mechanism on thumb releases.

Appreciate all feedback

Is this “the” Bill Pellegrino?

One thing I forgot to mention in the review is u can get a sear without the click

This release if far superior to the backstrap! ive got both.

What release do you shoot

@@BackyardBows I shoot a Cobra Premier Heartland Bow hunter. I wrap my finger at the second knuckle and start flexing my rhomboid muscles and it fires a surprise release every time.

It’s just because you shoot with good form, realistically that’s how everyone should shoot but this is super helpful for teaching and maintaining correct form

U can force the release which is tech punching through the click

Yeah it feels very similar to a trigger but when you pair it with how you would release a hinge it’s a lot better. I will say though even just using it as a trigger it feels hella solid

It feels great, tried one out today along with a bunch of different releases and once I figured out exactly how to make it work as intended I kept coming back to it

In hunting I would say I always want to have control over the release of a shot, in competition archery shooting unexpectedly helps with overall reduction of target panic, places focus on form and aiming instead of trigger, helps reduce user error, encourages proper Bach tension, I personally would never use back tension release in the field but I know some do, but the verge I would feel comfortable putting in the field

A surprise release when formis executed properly....it's always a perfect shot.
