Abstract
An archery release includes a gate pivotally connected with the release and movable between open and closed positions. When in the open position, the gate receives a bowstring, and when in the closed position, the gate retains the release on the bowstring so that the archer does not need to hold on to the release at all times. The release may be operated when the gate is in either the open or closed positions.
