  • Patent number: 5022378
    Abstract: An overdraw apparatus supports an arrow for shooting at a support location between the drawstring full-draw rearward position and the drawstring full-forward travel position upon its release. A construction is provided whereby the drawstring can pass through and beyond the support location, and thereby enable much shorter arrows to be shot from a conventional bow than would otherwise be possible. In one embodiment, the actual arrow support includes two members which are separated by a space which allows the drawstring to pass therebetween. In another embodiment, the arrow support includes a pivotally mounted arm which gets struck by the bowstring and pivots forwardly to accommodate the movement of the drawstring forwardly beyond the support location.
