Abstract
A rope release device includes a housing having a first fixed jaw and a second jaw movable toward and away from the fixed jaw. A length of rope is secured to the housing and includes a closed loop adapted to be engaged between the first fixed jaw and the second movable jaw. A handle supports the housing for rotational adjustment of the housing relative to the handle to eliminate rope torque at full draw.
