1. An archery release assembly comprising:
- a body comprising;
a ring structure, wherein the ring structure comprises a first finger engagement surface configured to at least partially engage a first finger of a user;
a fork-shaped mount structure extending from the ring structure, wherein;
the fork-shaped mount structure comprises;
a second finger engagement surface configured to at least partially engage a second finger of the user; and
an interference portion;
the fork-shaped mount structure comprises a plurality of supports that define;
a recess between the supports;
a first mount space extending along a first axis; and
a second mount space extending along a second axis,a hook pivotally coupled to the body;
an extension comprising;
a protrusion configured to be inserted into the recess so as to be at least partially surrounded by the supports, wherein the protrusion defines a protrusion passage;
a stop portion; and
a grasp comprising a third finger engagement surface configured to at least partially engage a third finger of the user;
a first member configured to;
be at least partially positioned within the first mount space;
extend along the first axis; and
interface the protrusion with the fork-shaped mount structure; and
a second member configured to be positioned within the second mount space, extend along the second axis and extend through the protrusion passage to couple the extension to the fork-shaped mount structure,wherein, when the protrusion is inserted into the recess;
(a) the first member is at least partially positioned within the first mount space;
(b) the second member is positioned within the second mount space; and
(c) the second and third finger engagement surfaces define a plurality of valleys separated by a crest.
