Abstract: A golf club grip may include a docking tube and an elongated handle. The docking tube may be configured to couple to a golf club shaft and may include a docking tube sidewall. The elongated handle may be detachably couplable to the docking tube. The elongated handle may include an elongated handle sidewall defining an axial opening configured to receive the docking tube. At least one of the docking tube sidewall and the elongated handle sidewall may include a projection and the other of the docking tube sidewall and the elongated handle sidewall may include a channel. The channel may be configured to receive the projection to prevent rotation of the elongated handle relative to the docking tube when the elongated handle is coupled to the docking tube.

Abstract: An improved putter grip is provided. In one embodiment, the putter grip includes an enlarged heel portion that can be held in the fore-to-aft direction or the side-to-side direction, dependent upon the user's preference. The putter grip includes a front-facing surface between a right side surface and a left side surface. The putter grip also includes a rear-facing surface that is opposite of the front-facing surface. The rear-facing surface includes an upper portion, defining the enlarged heel, a lower portion, and an intermediate portion. The lower portion of the rear-facing surface is spaced apart from the front-facing surface by a reduced distance, and the intermediate portion is a continuous extension of the lower portion. As a result, the front-to-back width of the putter grip is greater in the upper portion than in the lower portion, with the intermediate portion defining a slightly concave exterior curvature.

Abstract: An improved putter grip is provided. In one embodiment, the putter grip includes opposing sloped sidewalls, such that the upper portion of the putter grip includes a dual-sided pistol configuration. The sloped sidewalls can be substantially planar, and the putter grip is symmetrical about a plane of symmetry that runs through the grip centerline. The opposing sloped sidewalls can be aligned in the fore-to-aft direction or aligned in the side-to-side direction and may be used by both a left-hand-dominant and a right-hand-dominant golfer without mechanical adjustment. The lower portion of the putter grip is a continuous extension of the upper portion but lacks the taper found in the upper portion of the putter grip. Embodiments also include a putter grip having only a single-sided taper that reduces to a minimum front-to-back width at an intermediate portion of the putter grip, the putter grip being symmetrical about the grip centerline.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has a frame, a firing assembly, and a sighting device. The frame has a forward end and a rear end. The firing assembly is operatively associated with the frame. The firing assembly has a string latch which is positioned between the forward and rear ends of the frame. The sighting device has an eyepiece and is connected to the crossbow in a manner which provides that the eyepiece is positioned in alignment with, or forward of, the string latch.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has an elongated frame and a foot stirrup. The elongated frame has a forward end portion. The foot stirrup is secured to the forward end portion of the elongated frame. The foot stirrup has first and second portions. The first portion of the foot stirrup is configured to extend forward of the elongated frame to the second portion. The second portion of the foot stirrup is configured to extend downwardly from the first portion. The downwardly extending second portion of the foot stirrup provides increased surface area to stabilize the crossbow during a cocking operation. The downwardly extending second portion of the foot stirrup is further configured to act as a bipod when the crossbow is aimed and fired.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has a frame and a firing assembly. The frame has a forward end and a rearward end. The firing assembly has a finger-pull mechanism. The finger-pull mechanism is positioned at, or forward of, a midway point of the frame between the forward end and the rearward end.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has a frame, first and second limbs, a bowstring, and a bolt retainer. The first and second limbs are secured to the frame. The bowstring extends between the first and second limbs and is configured to move between a forward rest position and a rearward cocked position. The bolt retainer downwardly biases a bolt forward of the forward rest position of the bowstring.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has forward and rearward ends, a firing assembly having a finger-pull mechanism, and a butt member having a rear end. The crossbow has a length of pull that is positioned forward of the rearward end of the crossbow, where the length of pull is defined as a distance between the finger-pull mechanism and the rear end of the butt member.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has a frame, a firing assembly, and a mounting rail. The frame has a lower surface. The firing assembly is associated with the frame and has a finger-pull mechanism. The mounting rail is associated with the lower surface of the frame rearward of the finger-pull mechanism, and the mounting rail is configured to allow one or more accessories to be mounted thereto. One accessory which can be mounted to the mounting rail is a butt member which has a rear end which is configured to abut a front of a user. The butt member can be adjustably mounted to the mounting rail to provide that the butt member is movable along the mounting rail between a forward position and a rearward position.

Abstract: A crossbow is provided which has one or more of the following improvements: a bolt retainer which downwardly biases a bolt in position forward of a forward rest position of a bowstring; a mounting rail associated with a lower surface of a frame rearward of a finger-pull mechanism, where the mounting rail is configured to allow one or more accessories to be mounted thereto; a finger-pull mechanism positioned at, or forward of, a midway point of the frame; a string latch positioned more than six inches rearward of the finger-pull mechanism; a sighting device having an eyepiece, where the eyepiece is positioned in alignment with, or forward of, the string latch; a ratio of length of pull distance of the crossbow to bull-pup distance of the crossbow being two-to-one or less; and a foot stirrup configured to stabilize the crossbow during cocking, and to provide a bipod during aiming/shooting.
