An archery apparatus for optimizing the force exerted on the arrow upon release includes a central section or riser and a pair of resilient limbs extending in opposite directions therefrom. A bowstring is connected between the free ends of the limbs and includes a nocking point for engagement with the nock of an arrow. An arrow rest is carried by the riser and together with the nocking point on the bowstring define a shooting axis along with the arrow travels when departing the bow. A hand grip is mounted on the riser adjacent the shooting axis for accommodating the left or right hand of an archer. A push member extends rearwardly of the riser for accommodating the other hand of the archer. A harness adapted to be worn by the archer includes a bowstring holding and/or releasing mechanism for selectively holding and/or releasing the bowstring adjacent the nocking point. In operation, the archer after putting the harness on, (1) secures the bowstring to the bowstring holding and/or releasing mechanism and flexes the bow limbs by forcing the frame away from his or her body with both arms, (2) removes the hand from the push member, (3) aims the arrow toward a desired target and (4) releases the bowstring from the holding and/or releasing mechanism with the free hand to propel the arrow toward the target.
