Abstract
A bowsting release has a single movable jaw that overlaps the outer end of a fixed jaw in order to retain a bowstring rather than utilizing an abutment surface on the fixed jaw. The bowstring release includes a fully calibrated trigger. The string retaining member is of a contoured, tapered configuration, permitting a sensitive trigger adjustment. The string is retained at the very tip of the fixed jaw, assuring a minimum of interference with the string as it is released from the mechanism.
