ABOUT SCOTT RELEASES
Founded in 1981 by Bill Scott, Scott Archery has grown to be the leading brand for release aids in the archery industry; with more award winning, high-profile competition professional archers on staff than any other release company today. The Outdoor Group purchased Scott Archery and its assets from the Scott family in early 2012 and the company has since seen an overwhelming increase in demand for the product and the brand itself. The company still remains in Clay City, Kentucky.
