RipShot Release Aid Elbow Release Strap System

With the innovative new RipShot Release Aid Elbow Release Strap System from Rip Archery, bowhunters and target archers will never again have to give up their favourite sport because of an all-too-common arm injury. Most archery enthusiasts who have participated in the sport for any length of time have experienced a torn ligament and inflamed tendon that has cause them to hang up the bow for weeks, months, or in the extreme cases, permanently.

Now with RipShot, injured archers can start shooting again instantly while waiting for the injury to heal. RipShot works by efficiently transferring the tension of drawing a bow from the arm, hand, and wrist muscles to the back muscles where it belongs and where it can't cause the pain that prevents normal shooting. By eliminating the strain on the shooter's wrist, elbow and shoulder most injured archers can once again draw a bow without experiencing the wrenching pain that we are so familiar with. Physically challenged and wheelchair archers can now join the great sport of archery, often with no additional special equipment required.

But the RipShot Release Aid Elbow Release Strap System isn't just for injured or handicapped shooters. It is also a wonderful addition to the archery kit of any compound bow shooter who uses a release aid. Because of the mechanical advantage in using your back muscles instead of your shoulder muscles, you will be able to draw a heavier weight than you are accustomed to, you can stay at full draw longer greatly increasing focus and aiming precision, and because you release aid is no longer attached to your wrist, your hand is now free to do other tasks. The Rip Shot will work with the majority of existing release aids, but please note that the release aid itself is not included.
