ABSTRACT:
In a trigger release for archery bows, a movable or stationary false trigger is mounted ahead of the active trigger. The archer hooks the end of the trigger finger on the false trigger, and the finger curves around the active trigger. During fine aiming the archer pulls the forearm rearward, and gradually relaxes and straightens the curve of the trigger finger, so that the second segment of the finger contacts the active trigger. This secondary contact smoothly operates the trigger without anticipation by the archer, whose sensory awareness is preoccupied by the more sensitive first pad of the trigger finger, which is pressing more firmly on the false trigger. This prevents anticipation, jerking of the active trigger, or flinching at the instant of release. An equivalent mechanism and method is disclosed for a thumb-activated trigger.
