This is what people have said about the Saunders Firing Line Release Aid Trainer and Checker.

5 out of 5 stars. "This thing is great. By far the best training aid for archery. I practice at work with it and it's the closest thing to shooting a real bow. You get the resistance plus a solid anchor point with the draw length and you can do a full release with your own release. Great tool. I'm being picky but I plan on putting on my own D loop to be as close to a real bow as possible." From Jake Nahkala from USA

5 out of 5 stars. "I had a shoulder flare up last November. I searched and decided to purchase the firing line. omg has this put me back on my game. I started out and couldn't even pull 60 pounds at all. Now I'm at 72 pounds and executing my shots 100 per cent now. Buy this folks. They work. I use it every day for 15 minutes. That's all it takes. Thanks Saunders for giving me my archery back." From George Hardin from USA

5 out of 5 stars. "What a brilliant quality training aid! The ideal & only compound bow simulator I would recommend. I use a Scott hinge release & don't know how I have existed until now without the Firing Line." From Kenneth Osborne from USA

Perfecting the release

A perfect release is an event, a point in time when the archer, bow and arrow merge and then effortlessly separate as the arrow is launched; this pursuit of perfection lures us toward the event horizon we never reach.

As with all spiritual quests, continuing this journey takes more than desire. We progress on this narrow trail by dedicating time and effort to training step by step. Why should the Saunders Firing-Line Release Trainer be part of that journey? You have a bow and you know that practice makes perfect, but are there times when training without shooting a bow is better? The answer is yes. This is part of the journey. This portion of training even includes taking each shot in your imagination.

But imagining each shot is not enough; feeling each stage of the shot, from raising the bow to the final moment the arrow leaves, is a big part of training muscle memory. The Firing-Line archery release aid trainer enables all of this without fear of a misfire or throwing an arrow. Shooting the Firing-Line can be done with the eyes closed as one focuses inward. Practice indoors at home, in a hotel room, or even with the crowd noise of an indoor or outdoor tournament. Open your imagination and you will see endless possibilities to practice when your competitors can't. Made in the USA.

Mechanics, the magic inside

To make this release aid trainer and checker compact, Saunders had to compress a smooth, even draw cycle into a very tight package. The Firing Line does just that by using a gas compression cylinder, custom pulleys, and a piston encased in a self-lubricating tube and tied together with a nylon sheathed stainless steel 18 strand cable.

The Firing-Line's tough, durable exterior beautifully matches its smooth functioning interior components. Available in Light 10-12 Pounds. Also available in Medium 25-28 Pounds and Heavy 35-37 Pounds draw options with and without the bow simulation weights which are not stocked items but can be special ordered. Please enquire.
