Pivoting bow release

Abstract

The invention is a bow release that has two positions; a shooting position and an away position. The release has an elongated member that extends from the wrist band to engage the bow string. This elongated member is attached to a pivoting mechanism that allows the elongated member to rotate 180° therefore freeing the hand of the user. The user is free to use that hand for purposes such as climbing, rattling, grunting, attaching safety equipment and other uses of that hand. The device gives the user the ability to use a free hand making the device safer to use.

1 . A pivoting bow release comprising in combination a pivoting mechanism, an elongated shaft and a wrist harness;
 said pivoting mechanism comprising in combination a pivoting mechanism with a top surface, a bottom surface, an inside surface, an outside surface, a center column with an outside surface, a internal spring, a internal ball bearing, a washer and a locking nut, a elongated shaft extending therefrom and a wrist harness attached thereto,
 said center column extending from said pivoting mechanism top surface through said pivoting mechanism bottom surface, said center column having detents opposing each other on the outside surface, said column having a near end and a distal end; 
 said spring and ball bearing acting as a locking mechanism when engaging said detents, the distal end of said column penetrating said wrist harness, and said wrist harness being secured with said locking nut to the center column and to said pivoting mechanism; 
 said elongated shaft being attached to said pivoting mechanism, said pivoting mechanism being capable of locking with elongated shaft facing away from said wrist harness, said shaft being capable of rotating 180° degrees and locking.
