Abstract
A bowstring release mechanism and, more particularly, a mechanism which incorporates an adjustable trigger. The trigger allows the trigger mechanism to be adjusted to a degree of sensitivity that will permit a spring mounted sear to releasably hold a rotatable bow string release member when the trigger mechanism has been actuated and has been removed from engagement with the sear.
Claims5
A bowstring release device comprising a housing, a bowstring release member rotatably mounted in said housing, a trigger block pivotally mounted in said housing in spaced relation to said release member, a lever secured to said trigger block for manually pivoting said trigger block, a sear pivotally mounted in a space between said release member and said trigger block, shoulder means mounted on said trigger block for engagement by said sear when said trigger block is in a cocked position, spring means connecting said sear and said trigger block and yieldingly urging said sear into substantially constant contact with said release member when the trigger block is in an uncocked position to act against the rotational movement of said release member when said trigger block is in an uncocked position, upon pivotal movement of said trigger block to its uncocked position said shoulder means swings out of contact with said sear to permit the rotational movement of said release member under force of a released bowstring.
