Abstract
A hold-back system for an archery bow having an overdraw structure includes a device with a spring-biased arm. The arm may be positioned to intercept the bowstring when partially drawn and hold it in that position. When the bowstring is further drawn to fire the arrow, the arm automatically retracts away from the bowstring. The hold-back device is adjustably attachable to an existing cable guard or to a separate mounting rod.
