Feedback from BOA release owners

[moote]

Looking at getting a new release, tried some of the BOA fastening releases on and liked the way they feel. Just wondering about real-world performance, durability, etc.?

I've had issues with buckle fastening in the past as the fit on my wrist varies a lot with temp, and I'm not a fan of velcro straps.

Thanks in advance!

I ran the Spot Hogg Wiseguy boa wrist strap for about a year. It’s a great release and very convenient. It’s secure, but there will be times when it might move a little. I noticed it. My boa also broke after almost 1 year of use. I emailed Spot Hogg and they sent me a new one within a couple days. Great customer service.

Overall, I really liked the boa wrist strap but recently switched over to a handheld thumb button.

Thanks Jrob! Good to hear that the customer service is on point, I think I'll take a chance and see how it goes.

I have the Spot Hogg Wiseguy BOA as well. Its taken a beating over the past year and a half and I've seen no issues to note.

No problem. I forgot to mention that the boa version of the wiseguy is more comfortable in my opinion compared to the regular wiseguy

Converted my wife’s index release to a BOA strap and she loves it

Ive used the wiseguy with BOA for im guessing 5-6 years...pretty close to when the first started using the boa strap. I went through 3-4 straps (I shoot 20+ or so arrows every day so I shoot more than average) where the plastic piece under the boa knob would eventually wear through the leather and Id have to replace it. I probably was replacing them 6-9 months.

I noticed at some point the boa knob itself slightly changed in appearance - and Im not sure if they redesigned how they made the strap itself along with it, but I have not had to replace the boa strap in quite a while and I dont see where I might have to anytime soon. Ive been shooting this current boa strap for probably a year and a half.

I definitely prefer the boa to the buckle strap.

Thanks @TheBootBowhunting, that's some really useful long term use info!

I have had good success with a boa strap. My wise guy has about 3000 shot on it and going strong still.

Another plug for the wise guy BOA. No issues with mine either

Can't argue with that, way to get after it!
