Ergonomic inertia bowstring release

A bowstring release comprising:

• a base grip member, said base grip member being of a size and shape to be grasped by an archer's fingers and held generally vertically when in use,
• said base grip member when held vertically including an upper section and a lower section,
• a bore extending from said upper section and ending in a blind bore in said lower section,
• a fastener insertable into said bore and extending from said upper section to said blind bore,
• a generally horizontal slot or cavity formed through said base grip member intermediate said upper and lower sections, said fastener intersecting said cavity;
• a tip grip member having a bottom section pivotally attached about a generally horizontal axis toward the lower section of the base grip member, such that the top section is able to move toward and away from the base grip member;
• a body member, said body member being received in said cavity of the base grip member and including a rearward portion, and a forward portion extending horizontally from the base grip member,
• said body member including at least one vertical hole toward the rearward portion through which said fastener passes to pivotally retain said body member in said cavity,
• said body member comprising an upper and lower flange, a pawl lever pivotally attached between the upper and lower flange,
• said pawl lever including a rearward branch extending toward the rearward portion of the body member and a forward branch extending toward the forward portion of the body member;
• a bowstring support lever including a bowstring retaining hook pivotally attached between the upper and lower flange toward the forward portion of the body member,
• the pawl lever and the bowstring support lever having complementary pawl surfaces to lock the bowstring support lever in a bowstring retaining position when the pawl lever is forcibly pivoted into engagement with the bowstring support lever, the force of a retained bowstring tending to disengage the pawl lever to allow the bowstring support lever to pivot to a disengaged position,
• said tip grip member engageable with the rearward branch of the pawl lever such that when the archer grips the base grip member and tip grip member, the tip grip member urges the pawl member into engagement with the bowstring support lever to retain the bowstring;
• but when the archer relaxes the grip, the tip grip member is able to pivot out of engagement with the pawl lever, to allow the pawl lever to be disengaged to allow the bowstring to be released.
