Archery string release with safety

摘要

A mechanical string release with safety lock is disclosed. The release is particularly for use with an archery drawlock device to prevent accidental release of a bow string when the drawlock is carried in drawn and latched condition. The release has a trigger extending outward from the body. The safety lock comprises a bar rotatably mounted on the body adjacent the trigger. The bar is adapted to selectively engage and detain the trigger upon rotation of the bar in one direction, thereby preventing actuation of the trigger. The bar also is adapted to selectively disengage the trigger upon counter rotation of the bar, thereby allowing actuation of the trigger. In the preferred embodiment, the bar is rotatably mounted on a pin attached to the body.
