ABSTRACT:
A trigger device for facilitating pulling of a bow string and for quick release of the taut bow string for propelling an arrow from the bow, said trigger device comprising a main body portion provided with suitable finger receiving recesses and a secondary body portion substantially perpendicular to the main body portion having a bow string hold and releasing latch mechanism carried thereby. The latching mechanism comprises a flexible loop member adapted for encircling the bow string and engaging a loop receiving recess provided in the secondary body portion. A latch member extends across the open end of the loop receiving recess and is operably connected with a release trigger by a suitable bell crank whereby a light touch of the trigger member by the finger of the archer quickly and easily releases the loop from the loop recess for release of the taut bow string. The bell crank is L-shaped and is positioned in a generally L-shaped passageway in the trigger device.
