Abstract: A triggerless back tension release for use with a bow string includes a handle portion including at least two finger grooves with a post extending substantially perpendicularly away from the handle portion; a two-link release head assembly secured to a free end of the post remote from the handle portion, the two-link release head including an intermediate link pivotably mounted on said post and a forward link pivotably mounted to said intermediate link; a rope loop having two free ends secured to the forward link; and a sear pivotably secured to the forward link, the sear having a hook adapted to receive the rope loop. The free ends of the rope loop are secured to the forward link at a location closely adjacent the hook and forward of the pivot axis, such that, when the rope loop is wrapped about a bow string and slipped over the hook, a gap between doubled-back strands of the rope between the bow string and the release head remains substantially constant or increases in a direction toward the bow string.

Abstract: A triggerless back tension release for use with a bow string includes a handle portion including at least two finger grooves with a post extending substantially perpendicularly away from the handle portion; a two-link release head assembly secured to a fork rotatably secured in the post for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the post, the two-link release head assembly including an intermediate link pivotably mounted on said fork and a forward link pivotably mounted to said intermediate link; a rope loop having two free ends secured to the forward link; and a sear pivotably secured to the forward link, the sear having a hook adapted to receive the rope loop.

Abstract: A bowstring release includes a handle body, the handle body supporting a jaw release housing and associated jaws actuable by means of a firing pin extending into an interior portion of the handle body; a hammer bar including a hammer head engagable with the firing pin and movable to a cocked position by means of a cocking trigger portion of the hammer bar, the cocking trigger extending outside the candle body; a firing trigger assembly including a firing trigger outside the handle body and a trigger actuating arm located within the handle body; and a roller sear housing and roller sear assembly, the housing having one end engageable with the trigger actuating arm, and the roller engageable with the hammer head, the hammer head is seated in the roller sear housing in a cocked position, such that pressure applied to the firing trigger causes the roller sear housing to release the hammer head for firing engagement with the firing pin.

Abstract: A connector for a bowstring release wrist strap includes a barrel portion having a first end adapted to receive a fastener component mounted on the bowstring release, and a second end receiving a slidable and axially adjustable link rod, the link rod rotatable relative to the barrel portion and having a distal free end adapted for connection to a wrist strap.

Abstract: A bowstring nock and rope release loop assembly for attachment to a bowstring includes a bowstring nock having a pair of axially spaced bowstring attachment portions connected by a rigid cross-support; and a rope release loop adapted to be secured to the bowstring at opposite ends of the bowstring nock, closely adjacent the attachment clamps.
