1. An archery release comprising:
a release body comprising an index finger engagement surface configured to be pulled in a horizontal direction by an index finger, part of the index finger engagement surface comprising an arc shape centered about a point, wherein a horizontal axis extends through the point, wherein the release body comprises: (a) a first volume; and (b) a first weight portion of a total weight of the archery release; a finger extension configured to be connected to the release body, the finger extension extending in a vertical direction when the archery release is oriented in a vertical position, the finger extension comprising at least a middle finger engagement surface configured to be pulled in the horizontal direction by a middle finger, wherein the finger extension comprises a segment, wherein the segment comprises a second volume that is equal to or less than the first volume, wherein the segment comprises a second weight portion of the total weight, wherein the second weight portion is at least fifty percent of the total weight; a hook carriage pivotally coupled to the release body; and a hook coupled to the hook carriage, the hook being pivotal between a plurality of hook positions relative to the hook carriage, the hook positions comprising:
a hold position in which the hook holds a bowstring; anda release position in which the hook releases the bowstring, wherein the hook comprises a bowstring engagement portion configured to engage the bowstring, the bowstring engagement portion being located below the horizontal axis in the hook positions, the hook configured to pivot relative to the release body in response to pulling forces of the index and middle fingers, the pivoting of the hook to the release position causing the bowstring to slide off of the hook, wherein the hook is configured to remain coupled to the hook carriage in the hold position and the release position, wherein, when the archery release is in the vertical position and used to retract the bowstring:
a bowstring force urges the bowstring engagement portion forward,the index finger engagement surface is configured to be pulled backward by the index finger,the middle finger engagement surface is configured to be pulled backward by the middle finger, andbecause the bowstring engagement portion is located below the horizontal axis, the archery release is configured to divert at least part of the bowstring force from the index finger to the middle finger, wherein the archery release is configured to generate a tactile feedback as a result of the pivoting of the hook, wherein the tactile feedback is enhanced due, at least in part, to the second weight portion being at least fifty percent of the total weight. |
