Abstract

Disclosed is a finger release aid for archery shooting training with an archery training device. The archery training system provides an archer the ability to safely condition psychologically and physically without the need of a bow and arrow while maintaining the sensation of using a bow and arrow. Dry firing the archery training system with the finger release aid not only mimics the actions of finger shooting an arrow while using a traditional archery bow (providing instant feedback for users when they have maintained proper form during the draw, hold, and release phases used during finger shooting), but also provides for improved strength training and convenience options for keeping top and bottom resistance bands and interconnectors connected. Moreover, mechanical release archers can connect D-loops and mechanical releases to the finger release all while having tactile string angles to use as anchor points on their face and/or nose at full draw.

Dependent claims

A finger release aid for archery shooting training with an archery training device, comprising:

a nock having a distal portion, an opposing proximal portion, and an end hole defined in an end of the proximal portion;
a continual string having a top portion, an intermediate portion coupled to the distal portion of the nock, and a bottom portion;
and
an aid body comprising a protruding base slidably coupled within the end hole of the proximal portion of the nock, a top arm extending from the aid body and fixedly attached to the top portion of the string, a bottom arm extending from the aid body and fixedly attached to the bottom portion of the string, a top slit located adjacent to the protruding base, and a bottom hook located proximate to the bottom arm,
wherein, when a user dry fires the archery training device, the top slit is configured to releasably couple with a top interconnector of the archery training device, and the bottom hook is configured to retain a bottom interconnector of the archery training device.

and
an aid body comprising a protruding base slidably coupled within the end hole of the proximal portion of the nock, a top arm extending from the aid body in a first direction and turning in a second direction and fixedly attached to the top portion of the string at a distal end of the top arm, a bottom arm extending from the aid body opposite the first direction and turning in the second direction and fixedly attached to the bottom portion of the string at a distal end of the bottom arm, a top slit located adjacent to the protruding base, and a bottom hook located proximate to the bottom arm,
wherein, when a user dry fires the archery training device, the top slit is configured to releasably couple through a top interconnector of the archery training device with a top resistance band of the archery training device that provides a primary tension, and the bottom hook is configured to retain through a bottom interconnector of the archery training device a bottom resistance band of the archery training device that provides a counterbalance tension to the primary tension.
