Abstract
An archery bowstring release includes a string grip for holding and releasing a bowstring, and a band for mounting the string grip about an archer's wrist or hand. The string grip may rotate about the band between an in-use position wherein the string grip is adjacent the archer's fingers, and a stowed position situated away from the archer's hand. This rotating arrangement is biased such that the string grip resists being situated in other than the in-use and stowed positions. Thus, the archer may “snap” the string grip into the in-use position when the string grip is desired for use in shooting, and may “snap” the string grip to the stowed position when the string grip is not needed. In this manner, the string grip does not interfere with use of the archer's hand when it is not in use.
