The 5 Best Bow triggers (2023 reviews)

Trufire makes beautiful and outstanding trigger with classic and higher-grade materials. The Patriot has a durable steel trigger with a smooth release whether it's your first shot or the thousandth, its built to last. The steel cable connecting the caliper to the strap is cased in a high quality black rubber-like coating and the strap is nylon webbing. It works well with 6 year olds as well as adults. The hook and switch are good quality with a small spring.

The material used to make this Trigger is really sturdy and comfortable on your hand. It is important because when different metals with different hardnesses are combined in a firing mechanism, premature wear can and often times will occur. It is really nicely made and works like a charm. The trigger is very light and can be adjusted to your most desired weight. The device is easy enough to use.

Why We Like This:

Super cool, inexpensive, but high quality
Nice basic release, comes very sensitive out of box but easily adjustable
Not worrying about hurting fingers, can concentrate on aim much easier

Best Runner up: Tru-Fire New Release

Buy on Amazon

The latest tru-fire new release is an absolute beast in terms of its features, and rightfully takes the top spot with ease. It’s great for women with tiny wrists/hands. The front does not swivel freely enough. This allows you to leave it hooked on your bow if you like. It’s lightweight and sturdy, no issues with letting it hang from the loop while out in the field. This release also features a fully adjustable trigger travel adjustment, as well as a feature to lock the head in any position if needed.

The head will swivel and the adjustment will not change. It is actually very comfortable and shoots very well. It is a nice release, works as it should, crisp release. It’s a great product also a little bit of a learning curve but fun and easy to use once you get the hang of it.

Why We Like This:

Release length is adjustable to just a pump or a pull
Very smooth release, compact, and well built
Good brand reputation

Best For large Hand: Tru-Fire Bow Trigger

Buy on Amazon

The tru-fire bow trigger might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year. It is an avid bow hunter and brings something unique to the crew. The Comfortable and easy-to-use max buckle strap features a foldback connector that frees your shooting hand for climbing or calling with no noisy flopping or clanging. The under side of the " leather " strap also has a fabric backing like you see in synthetic materials. The adjustability factor on length is also a great feature.

The Wrist strap is super comfy and the only thing is if you have smaller wrists the strap can bow out a little and not stay flush with the strap like a wrist watch. It fits well, shoots well, and is very well made. The wrist strap is comfortable and the fold back feature is great, however, the trigger would not adjust (the set screw would not budge) and the length of the connecting rod is too long even when shortened as much as the device would allow. It is great for intermediate or beginners.

Why We Like This:

Build very well and very comfortable
Highly adjustable as far as the trigger and length
Folds tight to arm when not needed
Comfortable and the flip back feature is fantastic

Best For advanced amateur: LWANO Bow Trigger

Buy on Amazon

The lwano bow trigger is capable of outshining several other trigger featured in this list in overall features for the price point. The single caliper of this archery release rotates a full 360 degrees making it appropriate for either left or right hand shooters. It provides a comfortable fit that can be adjusted as needed. It’s quieter than velcro and you can set it to the same position each time which is super important.

The trigger is about like any other trigger on a release the jaws are smooth and don’t have any burrs so the D-Loop won’t get cut so the D-Loop won’t get cut back. There is a spring in between the jaws that help the jaws open when the trigger is pulled back.

Its length is adjustable, no matter your hand and wrist are big or small, it can fit perfectly.

Why We Like This:

Soft lining for superior comfort when shooting
Economical, simple and easy to use
Makes a reasonable backup of beginner's release

Best comfort: carbon Express Bow Trigger

Buy on Amazon

The carbon express bow trigger might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few months. The foldback option of the Tru Fire Hardcore is a great idea. It is made without a perfect release. It acts like a sharp razor cutting through the d loop every time you shoot. This release is super comfy, thick straps, well built and very ergonomic, until you get to the actual mechanics of the release itself. There’s a vertical line as if the hook is two pieces put together.

This is a really great release that allows you to adjust the length of the release. It is the ultimate for hardcore hunters as well as serious tournament archers. It is definitely a game changer.

Why We Like This:

New and hot release
Lot of satisfied buyers
