Abstract: A bow string drawing and releasing device including a generally U-shaped, rigid frame having a rearwardly positioned web and integral legs which extend forwardly therefrom and which bend toward each other to define a narrow opening. A flexible, U-shaped jaw member is longitudinally reciprocal within the frame and is normally biased to a forward position wherein the jaws are closed and locked by the bent legs to retain the bow string. By pulling the jaw member rearwardly relative to the frame, the jaws are opened in a trigger action to release the bow string.
