1. A bowstring release device, comprising in combination bow string-engaging structure having string-engaging catch means pivotally mounted in a supporting member;

  • a handle member;

    a ball and socket joint universally coupling said supporting member and said handle member together;

    a trigger pivotally mounted in said handle member;

    means resiliently biasing said trigger;

    a transversely segmented, longitudinal, composite rod extending between said trigger and said string-engaging catch means, one longitudinal end segment of said rod being rigid and adapted to engage said catch means, the other longitudinal end segment being stiffly flexible and secured to said trigger;

    slideway means laterally confining said rigid end segment of said composite rod; and

    resilient means acting against said trigger to normally urge said rigid end segment of said rod means into engagement with said catch means, said trigger being movable against the urge of said resilient means when pulled to withdraw said rigid end segment of said composite rod from said catch means for releasing the bowstring from said string holder, the said other end segment of the rod being unrestrained laterally and free to flex transversely while still transmitting movement longitudinally.
