ABSTRACT:
A two handed bow and a bowstring release mechanism for launching an arrow along a shooting axis includes a riser, a pair of flexible limbs mounted on the riser and a bowstring connected between the free ends of the limbs. A pair of handgrips are pivotally mounted on the riser. The bowstring release mechanism is carried by a harness adapted to be worn by the archer and includes a body member having an elongated bowstring opening for receiving the bowstring and a pair of retaining arms pivotally mounted on the body member to selectively close and open the bowstring opening. A cam and electrically operated plunger operate the retaining arms to selectively close and open the bowstring opening. A retractable arrow rest is mounted on the riser and includes a shaft engaging surface for positioning the arrow along the shooting axis when the bowstring is in its full draw position. The arrow rest is retracted away from the shooting axis by an electrically actuated mechanism such as a solenoid in response to the movement of the bowstring or to a signal delayed from the time that the bowstring is released.
