Abstract
The present invention describes a mechanism for assisting an archer in drawing back a bowstring. The bowstring draw assist mechanism includes two interactive components. The first component, a support frame in the form of cable guards and a cross bar, is affixed to the bow, and the second component, a gauntlet, is worn by an archer. The first and second components engage one another and utilize compressed gas to pressurize a cylinder, assisting an archer in drawing the bowstring.
