Question for all, now don’t freak out I know very well this is a stick bow sight but the reason I’m posting here is cause there is a lot of knowledgeable people here that been in the archery game for a long time. Also I think it was made for recurve bows.So my question is anyone ever see one of these? Supposedly the owner of it says it’s the first release aid made. I tried finding info and there is nothing . So if anyone knows help me out thanks.

Releases aids, sights, and stabilizers were already being used on trad equipment before compounds were invented.

Did you try to look up the patent information or see if there was one?

I've not seen one like that before, I hope someone can help you out with it!

Weird looking release. Wonder how it was SUPPOSED to work? GOOD HUNTING & BLESSED BE!

I’ve not seen this before but I’m guessing that the pin would go under the arrow. Then maybe the thumb would rest against the pin and then to fire you would simply tighten up the pinky/ring fingers and pull through the release.

Where does it appear that the release attaches to the bow string?

Grndhntr is correct. Thumb OVER the pin. It functioned a LOT like a thumb release/thumb ring, except you had the mechanical advantage of the weight being held by four fingers.

Never saw one of those. I always thought the "Hot Shot" was the first release aid. Frank

What does the other side look like? Is there a string groove?
