Abstract: An apparatus for holding an arrow with respect to an archery bow, particularly when the archery bow is carried and moved into different positions. The holding apparatus has a base portion preferably but not necessarily integrated with an upper portion. The upper portion has two opposing walls spaced apart from each other and extending outward from a top surface of the base portion. The opposing walls form a void within which a shaft of an arrow fits.

Abstract: A device for reducing vibration and shock in an archery bow includes a base and an integral body formed of a flexible material. The body includes a non-uniform cross-section as the body extends away from the base and terminates in a peripheral mass positioned on a distal portion of the body opposite the base. As a result of such an arrangement, including the alternative of positioning two devices in axial alignment on an archery bow limb, vibration and shock following discharge of an arrow are greatly reduced in the archery bow.

Abstract: A rotatable arrowhead having a blade-carrying body that rotates with respect to a shaft that is attached with respect to an arrow shaft. In one embodiment, the rotatable arrowhead has a body and a tip portion that preferably rotate together with respect to the shaft of the arrowhead. The shaft extends within a through bore of the body. A portion of the shaft has a peripheral retention groove about at least a portion of a periphery of the shaft. The tip portion accommodates a retainer. In an assembled condition of the arrowhead, the retainer is positioned within the retention groove. In another embodiment, the rotatable arrowhead has a body that rotates with respect to the shaft of the arrowhead. The shaft extends within the through bore of the body, either partially or completely. The retainer can be mounted within the body or the tip portion, depending upon whether or not the tip portion rotates with respect to the body.

Abstract: A pivotally mounted arrow rest that has a support element moveable between a loaded position and an unloaded position. A bias element urges the support element toward the unloaded position. A flexible inelastic member has a first end portion fixed with respect to a bow cable and a second end portion operatively connected to support element. When the support element is in the loaded position, the flexible inelastic member is in a tension condition.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting an arrow rest with respect to an archery bow window. In one preferred embodiment of this invention, the apparatus includes a shaft mounted with respect to a housing, and moveable between a first position and a second position. A cam is connected to or integrated with the shaft and operatively moveable with the shaft. A follower is urged in contact with the cam in the first position by a first bias element and a second bias element urges the shaft from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting an arrow rest with respect to an archery bow window. The apparatus having a means for adjusting a cushion force required to deflect the arrow rest from a first or arrow loading position to a second or actuated position. Additionally, the apparatus may have a means for adjusting a cushion distance which the arrow rest travels before the arrow rest is actuated.

Abstract: A bow stabilizer for an archery bow having a hollow body with at least one opening and forming a chamber. A plug is removably mounted within at least one opening. An element, which extends from the plug, has a fixed end portion contacting the plug and a free end portion positioned at a distance from the plug. At least a portion of the element is exposed within the chamber and at least a portion of the element converges in a direction from the fixed end portion to the free end portion. The elements provide a decrease in a vibration amplitude during a recoil cycle after an archery arrow is released from the archery bow.

Abstract: An archery quiver, for holding a broadhead, having a support structure with at least one mounting bore and an insert positionable within each mounting bore. The insert has a plurality of arms which extend radially outward from a center portion of the insert, each arm forming a void for housing a blade of the broadhead. When the broadhead is in an inserted position within the insert, a plurality of areas of an inner surface of the insert preferably contact a portion of at least one of a ferrule of the broadhead and an arrow shaft attached to the broadhead to securely center the broadhead within the insert.

Abstract: An arrowhead having at least one blade, preferably between two to six blades, which are interchangeably mounted in a pivotal or a fixed position with respect to a blade carrying body. A pin is used to retain a corresponding blade in a pivotal or a fixed position with respect to a blade carrying body. When the blade is pivotally mounted a bias force of a retaining member is preferably selected so that each blade remains in a normally closed position during flight or during handling of the arrowhead, but yet responsively and quickly moves to a fully open position upon impact or when a sufficient opening force is applied to the blade.

Abstract: A bow stabilizer having a hollow body with at least one opening and forming a chamber. A plug is removeably mounted within each opening. At least a portion of the plug is positioned between two contact surfaces of a sealing device. The sealing device further has a threaded member rotatably mounted with respect to the plug and mateably engageable with an internally threaded bore formed by a first plate of the sealing device. As the threaded member is rotated, the two plates of the sealing device move towards each other which compresses and deforms at least a portion of the plug. An outer surface of a portion of the plug is enlarged and compressed against an inner surface of the hollow body to form a tight seal that contains a fill within the chamber.

Abstract: An arrowhead having at least one blade, preferably between two to six blades, which are interchangeably mounted in a pivotal or a fixed position with respect to a blade carrying body. A pin is used to retain a corresponding blade in a pivotal or a fixed position with respect to a blade carrying body. When the blade is pivotally mounted a bias force of a retaining member is preferably selected so that each blade remains in a normally closed position during flight or during handling of the arrowhead, but yet responsively and quickly moves to a fully open position upon impact or when a sufficient opening force is applied to the blade. A blunt leading surface of the pivotal blade in its normally closed position presents a convex curve to the target surface thereby insuring good transfer of opening force to the blade when striking the target.

Abstract: An archery vane having a first side with a first surface and an opposing second side with a second surface, the second surface having a roughness greater than the roughness of the first surface. A projection is attached to the first surface. The archery vanes generate rotation of the arrow shaft about its spin axis to provide increased stability of the arrow shaft and improved flight accuracy of the arrow. Arrows having such archery vanes are easily and efficiently manufactured due to the position of the archery vanes on the arrow shaft generally parallel to the spin axis.

Abstract: An improved arrowrest is provided having a rate of motion from a first normal position to a second actuated position is greater than the rate of return motion from the second to the first position. An arrowrest is attachable to a support shaft for the arrowrest. The support shaft is moveable between the first position and the second position. As an arrow shaft discharges over the arrowrest, the support shaft moves in one direction with less frictional resistance than in a return direction.
