2021’s best new hunting gear: Everything for the Canadian bowhunter

SURGE

Hunters looking for a thumb-activated release will like the features on the Surge. Available in a three- or four-finger model, it sports beds grooved into the grip to ensure consistent control. The jaw is structured to release torque on the D-loop, while latching tight on any draw weight. Made for left- and right-handed shooters, the unit is built on an aluminum case with stainless steel components.
