Open Source. Precision. Accessible.
The Mission
We are engineering a competition-grade hinge release that anyone can build. No gatekeeping, just archery.
Key Features
V2.0 PROTOTYPE
adjust click strength
The Strength Of the Click Can Be Made Stronger by Moving it Further From the Fire Moon Or Softer By Moving It Closer.
V2.0 PROTOTYPE
independently adjust Click
The Dual Moon Mechanism Allows for Separate Adjustment Of Click And Fire.
V2.0 PROTOTYPE
55 DEGREES OF ADJUSTMENT
The Adjustment System Allows for 55 Degrees of Freedom.
V2.0 PROTOTYPE
Removeable Head
The head of the moment release is removable allowing easy switching of neck lengths or body sizes and materials.
Download Dummy CAD
Before the final machined version drops, feel the geometry in your hands. Download the free CAD files (.STEP) to 3D print a non-functioning dummy version with a stationary hook to test the grip angle, ergonomics, and finger extensions.
⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: This is a rigid, 3D-printed dummy designed strictly for ergonomic testing with a string trainer (paracord). DO NOT attempt to draw a live compound bow with this tool. The plastic hook will fail, resulting in a dangerous dry-fire, equipment damage, or severe physical injury.
Print & Hardware Specs:
- Material: PETG (Required for thread strength). Print the handle laying flat on the build plate for maximum hook strength.
- Assembly: Holes are sized to tap directly into the plastic. Thread slowly and do not overtighten.
- Hardware Needed: 2x M3 x 0.5mm (6mm length) and 1x M3 x 0.5mm (10mm length).
