US12716679 - Flexible latch for trigger device

A trigger device is described comprising a string hook, a trigger, a sear, and a flexible latch. The string hook is configured to retain a bowstring. The sear is coupled to the trigger and configured to release the string hook in response to actuation of the trigger. A flexible latch is coupled between the string hook and the sear. The flexible latch has a flexure design configured to flex in response to a holding weight applied by the bowstring, wherein flexure of the flexible latch reduces a pull weight of the trigger.
