Abstract: An improved archery bow and drawstring with the improvement being a ring-like member attached to the bow, and a tubular member slidably received within the ring-like member. The tubular member has an open end opening outwardly of the bow and the ring-like member. The tubular member is fixedly secured to the drawstring at an opposite end. The tubular member has a pin formed therein so as to extend transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tubular member. The ring-like member is affixed to a handle of the bow. An arrow having a shaft is slidably received within an interior of the tubular member. The arrow has a head which extends outwardly of the open end of the tubular member. The arrow has a lock which is releasably received over the pin.

Abstract: A meat tenderizing device having a first plate with a surface having a plurality of truncated pyramid projections extending outwardly therefrom, a second plate having a plurality of projections extending outwardly therefrom, a first handle connected to the first plate and extending outwardly therefrom, and a second handle connected to the second plate and extending outwardly therefrom. Each of the truncated pyramid projections has a hole formed in an area opposite to the surface. The projections of the second plate are in a meshing relationship with the plurality of projections of the first plate. The second plate is hingedly connected to the second plate. The first and second handles serve to move the first and second plates between a first meshing position and a second angularly offset position. A ledge extends around a portion of the periphery of the first plate and extends upwardly from the surface of the first plate so as to have a height less than a height of the truncated pyramid projections.
