A locking and release mechanism for the bow string of a compound bow. The locking mechanisms are mounted adjacent to and operable with respective eccentric wheels on either end of the bow which includes a notch along the periphery of the wheel to engage a spring loaded lever of the respective locking lever when aligned therewith. The archer selectively locks the bow string in the drawn position by pulling on a string which runs colinearly and forwardly of the handle and attaches to one end of the lever whereby the lever is pulled downwardly against the bias of the spring to engage the notch in the wheel. To release the lock, the archer simply pulls the bow string a short distance past the locked position and releases which moves the wheels and disengages the levers therefrom thereby allowing the wheels to rotate and fire the arrow.
