ABSTRACT:
A bowstring release with a fixed jaw and a single movable jaw is controlled by a trigger mechanism to provide enhanced accuracy. The bowstring release mechanism is adapted to rotate about its longitudinal axis to readily align the jaws with a bowstring, and the bowstring release is further attached to a wrist strap by means of a ring or attachment plate having two relatively straight sides engaged by leather tabs on the wrist strap. The straight sides and the leather tabs control and define the location of the ring thereby removing positional variances of the point of force transmission between the wrist strap and the bowstring release device and eliminate at least some variations which will affect consistent bowstring draw and release. The use of both a single fixed jaw and a movable jaw improves the accuracy and the smoothness with which the bowstring is released by stabilizing the bowstring during the initial portions of its flight after release.
