SHADOW Q & A
Will the Shadow have the same impact point as the Ibex?
Yes,
The Shadow has been meticulously crafted to deliver the same feel and impact point as the Ibex, ensuring that users can transition seamlessly between the two without the need to adjust their sight.
Will the Shadow hang on my D-loop?
Yes, the Shadow attaches to your D-loop for convenience while in the stand.
Does the Shadow have a click?
The Shadow is engineered to deliver the same impact point and feel as the Ibex, allowing for a seamless transition between the two. However, unlike the Ibex, the Shadow operates without a click or vibration, offering a smooth, standard thumb-button shooting experience.
How do you adjust the ring finger on the Shadow?
To adjust the ring finger, start by removing the ring finger screw. You may also need to loosen the adjacent screw to allow the ring finger to swivel freely. If the tolerance feels tight, gently adjusting the nearby screw should help achieve the desired movement.
How do I fine-tune my trigger using the seer screw?
Turning the seer screw clockwise reduces travel, making the trigger feel ‘hotter’ or more responsive. Please see YouTube Video.
So the shadow and a stan onnex are the same price and it feels like a crazy difference in quality and feel. While the shadow isn't a bad release it doesn't feel as good in the hand. There is hardly any adjustments for hand fit. If this was 150 then I would say go for it, but at this price point there are many better releases.
Evan -Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re sorry to hear the Shadow didn’t feel like the right fit for you. We design our releases with a specific feel and function in mind, but we understand that preferences can vary from shooter to shooter.
Your feedback on hand fit and adjustability is helpful, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with our product team as we continue refining future releases. If you’d like, we’d be happy to talk through setup, fit, or any adjustments that might improve your experience.
We appreciate you giving it a try and wish you the best in finding the release that feels perfect in your hand.
This is the very best release on the market for me. I’ve had the opportunity to shoot many of the most popular releases out there and this release is like shooting nothing at all. The inline button fits naturally in the hand without having to make a bunch of adjustments to fit and make work. I just clip on the string (and it stays there) then draw, relax, set the click and slightly push/pull and the arrow is gone.

Hi Joe,
Thanks a ton for the awesome feedback. Sounds like this release is really clicking for you. Love hearing that it feels natural in the hand and just lets you focus on the shot. Really appreciate you sharing your experience.
Smooth travel and crisp release. Very happy with the Shadow thumb button
Extremely durable reliable release!
I am extremely happy with the economics and how extremely repeatable and crisp the sear system is I could tell a difference in the consistency with the shadow right out of the box. Not to mention the evolution team has been absolutely a dream to work with they really do go above and beyond for their customers.
Ps. Do yourself a favor and pick up the in-line barrel it is a great addition to this release 10/10
