Abstract
A bow string support lever is pivoted intermediate its ends on an arm which is in turn pivoted on a body member which includes a pair of finger grips. A catch on one end of the lever is arranged to engage a pawl operatively associated with the body member when the lever and arm are pivoted to a cocked position, whereby to secure the lever against pivotal movement. A hook on the opposite end of the lever is arranged to receive the bow string and to support the latter when in said cocked position. Upon slight lateral movement of the body member, the catch is disengaged from the pawl whereupon the lever is released to pivot from the cocked position and allow the bow string to disengage from the hook.
