Abstract:
An accessory attached to a compound archery bow permitting an archer to pull the bowstring to full draw, actuate a latch and then relax both arms but leave the bow at full draw. At least two cam latches are mounted at the distally opposite end of each of the bow's limbs. Each cam latch is movable into engagement with its associated cam to latch and prevent rotation of the cams. A movable latch trigger is mounted to the riser adjacent the hand grip for actuating the cam latches. A mechanical linkage is connected between the latch trigger and each of the cam latches. The mechanical linkage is moved by the latch trigger to move the cam latches into engagement with the cams and prevent rotation of the cams and is also movable for release of the cam latches into disengagement with the cams to permit rotation of the cams.
