ABSTRACT:
This invention is that of a Bowstring Release Device to be used in archery for drawing a bowstring back and releasing same to propel an arrow to the target. The structure comprises a body, a swinging holding member, a sliding plunger to retain the holding member in a holding position, a triggering member to hold the plunger in a retaining position. Upon movement of the triggering member the plunger is pulled forward by the force of the bowstring, releasing the holding member and the bowstring. A rope loop is provided to avoid direct contact of the holding member with the bowstring, if desired, and an alternate arrangement of the mechanism allows the handle to be mounted on the triggering member, said handle also including a safety locking device.
