ABSTRACT:
An improved archery bowstring release aid is provided which has a preferably flexible, self-supporting resilient ledge generally perpendicular to the length of the release aid and having an opening for an arrow shaft, the opening being bordered by a pair of bowstring-engaging portions. A rear wrist-engaging support member, which can be in the form of a strap, rope or glove and a self-supporting intermediate portion interconnecting the ledge and rear support complete the release aid. The release aid is adapted to be positioned on the medial side of the archer's draw hand, with the bowstring-engaging portions of the ledge facing the archer's palm and temporarily supported by the curved archer's fingers. It may also include a transverse brace member across the intermediate portion. Upon reaching full draw, the archer relaxes his or her fingers and the release aid, particularly the ledge, and usually the intermediate portion, flexes to release the drawn bowstring to fire the arrow forward from the bowstring. The ledge and intermediate portion can be fabricated of wire, flexible plastic or the like, and can be unitary, if desired. The ledge can be designed to be backed by the index and middle finger or by three fingers. The release aid is simple, inexpensive, durable and provides improved accuracy without archer's paradox.
