Was he drawing level or does he lower his bow as he draws?
If you keep everything level and on/close to target while drawing that should not be an issue.
Further anchoring something behind the trigger will prevent accidental release unless your d loop is shot.
"Animal rights" activists believe that animals have rights similar to those found in the charter of rights. I have yet to see a pack of wolves be targeted by such activists for taking down their dinner by the ankles.
