A bowstring release includes a main body portion; a pair of jaws pivotably mounted within the housing for movement between closed and open positions; a piston and firing pin assembly slidably mounted in the housing and biased in a firing direction by a first spring, the piston and firing pin assembly operatively connected to the jaws; a cocking slide mounted for sliding movement along a top surface of the housing, the cocking slide engageable with the piston for moving the piston to a cocked position; a sear pivotably mounted within the housing, one end of which is engageable with the piston; and a trigger pivotably mounted in the housing, the trigger having a projection engageable with an opposite end of the sear; the sear biased against the projection in a non-firing direction by a second spring; the projection, when the trigger is pulled, moving the sear in a firing direction to enable the one end to disengage the piston and thereby permit the piston and firing pin assembly to move forward in a firing direction to cause the jaws to move to the open position.
