Abstract
A bowstring release device is disclosed which provides greater ease, control and accuracy in the shooting of a bow and arrow. The structure and action of the device inhibits and prevents premature release of the bowstring while being drawn, and enables a smooth, natural and accurate release once the archer has taken aim. The device includes a housing having two members. One member contains holding and release means for the bowstring while the other member includes finger recesses for gripping by the archer. The two members naturally assume a first position relative to one another while the bowstring is being drawn, and this first position prevents release of the bowstring. Once the bowstring is drawn, the archer effectuates release by pivoting the finger grip member of the housing relative to the release member.
