Badger:
Alan would it resemble a door latch on a truck?

the rotary latch idea seems like something to look into if possible, was hoping alan might come back with some more details or a pic for badger......
Badger:
Allen works for Freightliner as an engineer, I used to be a freighrliner mechanic so I know the latches very well.
avcase:
This shows they type of rotary latch I would use for a shooting machine. I mount it to a plate that slides on a piece of aluminum T-track. I hook the string on the little notch that I cut into the latch claw, and draw it back until the trigger lever contacts a finger on the shooting machine. I attach the trigger finger to the same piece of t-track so I can slide it to the desired draw length. As soon as the latch lever makes contact, it lets go. It is very repeatable and even a light duty latch like this will last for many thousands of shot cycles.

thanks for the print, Alan
sliding in a track will work better than what I have going now
