         4 . The archery device of  claim 1 , wherein the finger side, at least one thumb side, and at least one palm side comprise substantially a perimeter of the archery device. 
     
     
         5 . The archery device of  claim 1 , wherein the finger side, at least one thumb side, and at least one palm side comprise substantially a perimeter of a base component the archery device. 
     
     
         6 . The archery device of  claim 5 , wherein a thickness of the base component is in the range of 1/16 inch to 3/16 inch. 
     
     
         7 . The archery device of  claim 1 , wherein the archery device is configured to promote relaxing of fingers of the hand in lieu of gripping the riser with the fingers. 
     
     
         8 . The archery device of  claim 1 , wherein the archery device when positioned in the hand prevents a full grip of the hand around the riser. 
     
     
         9 . The archery device of  claim 1 , wherein a length of a thumb side is in the range of 1 inch to 2 inches. 
     
     
         10 . The archery device of  claim 1 , wherein a length of a palm side is in the range of 4 inches to 7 inches, and wherein a length of a finger side is in the range of 1.75 inches to 3.75 inches. 
     
     
         11 . An archery device configured to:
 fit on a hand of a person, wherein the hand comprises a bow hand of the person;   promote proper placement of a riser of a bow in the hand of the person, wherein the archery device is separate from the bow; and   prevent fingers of the hand from wrapping around the riser, prevent the fingers of the hand from gripping the rise, and reduce torque applied by the hand to the riser.   
     
     
         12 . The archery device of  claim 11 , wherein the archery device comprises:
 a securing component to position the archery device on a hand of a person;   a base component comprising:
 a thumb side to be positioned adjacent a thumb line in a palm of the hand, wherein the thumb side is substantially straight and configured to engage a riser of a bow placed onto the palm of the hand; 
 a finger side to be positioned on fingers of the hand, wherein the finger side configured to provide a rest for the fingers and to prevent the fingers from being wrapped around the riser; and 
 a palm side to be positioned at least partially in the palm of the hand and to facilitate stability of the archery device in the hand; and 
 a cover that surrounds the base component and couples the base component to the securing component, wherein the archery device provides a surface comprising at least the finger side for the fingers to rest in a relaxed position. 
   
     
     
         13 . The archery device of  claim 12 , wherein the archery device when placed on the hand prevents a full grip of the hand around the riser. 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . The archery device of  claim 12 , wherein a length of the finger side is in the range of 1.75 inches to 3.75 inches. 
     
     
         15 . The archery device of  claim 12 , wherein a thickness of the base component is in the range of 1/16 inch to 3/16 inch. 
     
     
         16 . A method of using an archery device to facilitate shooting of an arrow with a bow, the method comprising:
 placing the archery device on a first hand of a person;   positioning a riser of the bow on the archery device;   disposing a base of an arrow on a string of the bow with a second hand of the person;   pulling the arrow and string with the second hand; and   releasing the arrow and string from the second hand to propel the arrow without applying excessive torque to the bow with the first hand.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein placing comprises placing the archery device on the first hand via a finger holder of the archery device. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein positioning comprises resting the riser against a thumb side of the archery device, wherein the thumb side is substantially straight. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein positioning comprises positioning the riser at about a 45 degree angle with knuckles of the first hand.
