In an industry overwhelming with “that’s already been done” and “that can’t be improved”, it becomes increasingly more difficult to address, “What are you doing that’s NEW?”. It is our mindset that with well thought out and innovative products, we can answer just that.
Introducing, the Ibex Release from Evolution Outdoors, with a completely new concept in hinge-style releases. (Multiple Patents Pending)
Upon researching how archers shoot releases we found an unintentional, yet common, form in which archers tend to rotate a hinge release in their hand to get it to “click”. Turning a standard hinge in your hand pulls the head of the release away from the original anchor point, thus changing the anchor point which subsequently moves the impact point of the arrow.
Using a proper pull through technique doesn’t cause the head of the release to move creating more consistent shooting. Unfortunately, only approximately 10% of archers use a proper pull through method. This is how the concept of the Ibex Release was born. We created a hinge release that pivots in the handle (not the head) thus allowing the handle to swivel in your hand while allowing the neck and head to stay in the original anchor position for more consistent shooting. The Ibex Release has the same impact point whether shot with the proper pull through method or the more widely used swivel method because the neck and head stay consistent throughout the shot. The NEW Ibex Release stands alone as a state-of-the-art concept in releases.

ABOUT THE "CLICK"
The Ibex release was intentionally designed with a tactile feel, unlike other releases that produce a click sound. Instead of a loud click when the hook drops off the shelf, the Ibex features a vibration at the shelf. This unique design allows archers to reset their shot process or let down by going back over the shelf. The vibration feature helps avoid unnecessary noise and panic when hunters are close to animals.
Guidance on Choosing the Right Size for Your Ibex Purchase
When considering size, it's helpful to know that the average hand size and most commonly preferred size is the medium. This size tends to offer the best balance of comfort and control for most users.
Measure across your index finger at the widest part. The Ibex Release is designed to be ambidextrous, making it suitable for both left- and right-handed archers.

I recently purchased the ibex hinge ralease and I was having some second thoughts. Even was thinking of sending it back thinking I had made a mistake on trying to switch over to a hinge from an index. And not to mention a few days later I saw they were coming out with a new index release called the dragon and that really had me second guessing my decision.Especially since the first time I drew back I sent my arrow into corn fields! Side note to anyone using it for the first time please watch Dales video on how to draw the release properly there all on there website. I decided to stick with it and I’m sure glad I did. im shooting the best I’ve ever have and my groups have tighten up to where I hit where my pin is at without relying on luck or punching the trigger. I will definitely be hunting with it this coming season especially on my mule deer hunts seeing that I hunt a lot of open sage country that require a little longer shots. I will be purchasing the ibex shadow release in the near future for my elk hunts seeing that most of those shots are close quarters in thick country. to anyone who’s on the fence or wants to regain enjoying shooting there bow again I would say do it and get the ibex hinge release you won’t regret it! Every day I rush home to shot my bow again it’s so much fun using tu is release! I want to give a shout out to Aron Snyder and his work over at born primitive because that’s where I first heard about it and about Dales Broadheads.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review. The Ibex is definitely a different animal compared to most releases on the market, and it can take a little time to get comfortable with—so we really appreciate you sticking with it and giving it a fair shake. When consumers inquire at our Events, Dale referrs to it as a 600 arrow commitment.
Hearing that you pushed through those early doubts and are now shooting your best groups yet means a lot to us. That’s exactly why we built the Ibex the way we did. It’s designed to change habits, build consistency, and ultimately make shooting more enjoyable again, and it’s awesome to hear it’s doing that for you.
We’re glad Dale’s draw video helped, and we appreciate the shoutout to Aron and the Born Primitive crew as well. We’re excited to hear how the Ibex performs for you this hunting season, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the Shadow for your elk hunts.
Thanks again for going the distance with it. Your feedback and your story will help a lot of shooters who are on the fence. Enjoy every arrow.
So far so good! Lots of adjustability
Absolutely best release!
