Shooting and training device for archery

摘要

An archery shooting and training device (20) is disclosed for teaching an archer proper muscular control and body positioning. The shooting and training device (20) includes a string arm connector (70) that is securable without shifting to the upper arm and forearm of the archer's string arm. A draw force carrying member (72) extends from the string arm connector (70) to a release mechanism (130) having an anchor point (54) to position the archer's body on a plane of release that prevents movement which would adversely affect accuracy upon string release during actual shooting. The device (20) can be used with an actual bow, and is also usable with a front portion (110) and a bow handle (62) to provide a simulated bow force by isometrics. Also, another embodiment of the device (20) has a tether (117) including a loop (119) which connects the front portion (110) to the bow arm, so that when the release mechanism (130) is activated, the front portion (110) is retained by the bow arm, thus facilitating reassembly of the device (20) after release. The device (20) is also used to study and teach body reaction movements upon release.
