depending on what kind of bow you have, you release different ways. if you have a re curve or long bow, you hold the string with 3 fingers, your index above the knock, and middle and ring below. you pull the string back towards your ear, aim and slowly straighten your fingers, allowing the string to slip off. its important not to jerk the string, because it throws off your shot. if you have a compound bow, chances are you are using a release, which is attached to your wrist and u simply pull a trigger to release the string.

Is archery dangerous?
A person who is doing archery should wear a guard for their forearm. This will prevent the bowstring from raising a welt if it should accidentally hit you. Nobody is allowed to walk up and retrieve their arrows while someone is still shooting at a target.
