ABSTRACT:
An improved mechanical bowstring release device has a hollow, preferably generally cylindrical housing having a central space defined by a pair of spaced flanges and a retainer bar pivotably secured to the housing in the space, one end of the bar projecting from the housing when the bar is pivoted into a bowstring-drawing locked position, the bar also being pivotable to a bowstring-releasing unlocked position. A link extends longitudinally of and is pivoted in the housing space and the rear portion thereof defines a V-shaped rearwardly facing receptacle into which is inserted the pointed front portion of a trigger arm. The arm is pivotably secured in the housing space and is rearwardly and laterally of the housing. Couplers connect the front end of the link and the coupling end of the bar. A spring urges the front end of the arm into a position which locks the bar. Finger pressure can pivot that arm front end to cause movement of the link, couplers and bar coupling end to cause the bar to pivot into the unlocked string-releasing position. The device operates smoothly in a safe efficient manner.
