Archery bowstring release device and method

A method of triggering, without anticipation, an archery bowstring release device having an active trigger, using a triggering digit of a hand, comprising the steps of:

• a) providing an inactive trigger on the release device ahead of the active trigger;
• b) placing the pad of the first segment of the triggering digit on the inactive trigger;
• c) pulling said pad against the inactive trigger, and
• c) tripping the active trigger by contacting it at a secondary point on the triggering digit.

An archery bowstring release device for shooting a bow without flinching, comprising:

• a case;
• an active trigger attached to the case;
• bowstring retention means coupled to the active trigger for releasing a bowstring upon movement of the active trigger;
• and
• a pressure surface attached to the case ahead of the active trigger for static surface contact with the distal segment of a digit of an archer's hand;
• whereby an archer can place the distal segment of a digit on the pressure surface, and move the base of the digit back so that the digit contacts the active trigger at a secondary point on the digit while maintaining static surface contact between the distal end of said digit and the pressure surface.
