Abstract: A pneumatic tube that is secured to the bow and bowstring with an arrow and piston inside for safe drawing and firing of an archery bow. When the archer looses the string and it drives the arrow forward, the piston creates pneumatic air resistance like a hand operated bicycle pump. This resistance is sufficient to prevent damage to the bow and/or its components from loosing the string without an actual arrow on the string. Normal loosing the string without an arrow on it is called “dry-firing” and would damage the bow and/or its components. This tube is attached to a bracket that is affixed to a mounting block that can be fastened to the front of the bow at the standard stabilizer mounting hole. There is also a laser mounted in the end of the tube, which can be turned on by the archer and projects a laser light on the target. This light is automatically turned off as the bow is fired, thus showing the archer exactly where an actual arrow would have hit.

Abstract: A stabilizer for balancing/leveling an archery bow, dampening vibration and reducing the noise of releasing the arrow. The stabilizer housing can be easily opened and re-closed securely by the user, who can remove, replace, and change the contents, which includes extra elastomer modules of varying weight to get the exact desired weight, side-to-side and/or front-to-back balance, and/or vibration and sound dampening effect. The contents consist of removable soft, dense elastomer modular units, some with, some with no molded weights inside, which could be steel, lead shot, ball bearings, weight rods, fluid-filled capsules, or any combination of these, that absorb vibration and sound. One or more of these stabilizer units can also be securely placed in a position not normally available, because of the limitations and configuration of most archery stabilizers and/or bow handle/risers. For instance, they can be affixed to the limb bolts and/or the back of the bow handle riser.

Abstract: A bowstring release includes a handle, a bowstring catch, and a link between the handle and catch. The catch includes a hook for retaining the bowstring, and a cam for holding and releasing the hook. The handle is initially rotatably mounted with respect to the link, so as the bowstring is drawn, the cam will retain the hook to hold the bowstring regardless of handle position. The handle has a spring-biased piston, and the link has one hole that can receive the piston. At full draw, the archer may rotate the handle so the piston will enter the hole in the link, locking the handle and link together. Further rotation of the handle will cause the link and attached cam to rotate out of engagement with the hook, to release the bowstring.

Abstract: An adjustable bowstring release device comprised of three handle designs and a two piece catch that captures the bowstring for the purpose of safe drawing and releasing of the bowstring. The archer can pull any of the three handles to get the bow fully drawn with a straight wrist and with 3, 4, or 5 fingers evenly pulling on the handle. In the past with similar release devices, in order to safely draw the bow, the archer had to pull mainly with just one finger. Once safely at full draw, by laterally rotating the handle, the archer can loose the bowstring.

Abstract: In a trigger release for archery bows, a movable or stationary false trigger is mounted ahead of the active trigger. The archer hooks the end of the trigger finger on the false trigger, and the finger curves around the active trigger. During fine aiming the archer pulls the forearm rearward, and gradually relaxes and straightens the curve of the trigger finger, so that the second segment of the finger contacts the active trigger. This secondary contact smoothly operates the trigger without anticipation by the archer, whose sensory awareness is preoccupied by the more sensitive first pad of the trigger finger, which is pressing more firmly on the false trigger. This prevents anticipation, jerking of the active trigger, or flinching at the instant of release. An equivalent mechanism and method is disclosed for a thumb-activated trigger.
