　　When I was coming up as a new bowhunter, the standard release everyone was given was an index-style release aid. It was the easiest transition from gun hunting to bowhunting.

　　The origin story for On’s LightSpray technology seems tailor-made for Hollywood (cue the Damon and Affleck script). It all started on Halloween several years ago, when Johannes Voelchert, the senior lead of innovation technology design for Swiss brand On, watched his kid use a hot glue gun to make a costume.
