Abstract: An apparatus for adjustably mounting an arrow rest with respect to a mounting bracket that attaches to an archery bow. A pivot shaft has a mounting end portion which accepts the arrow rest. The pivot shaft also has an externally threaded end portion which is opposite the mounting end portion. A bearing housing is rotatably mounted with respect to the mounting bracket. The bearing housing has a throughbore and a cavity within which the pivot shaft is rotatably mounted. A tension knob is rotatably mounted within the cavity of the bearing housing. The tension knob also has a throughbore within which the pivot shaft is mounted. A spring is mounted within the cavity of the bearing housing. One end portion of the spring is fixed with respect to the pivot shaft and the opposite end portion of the spring is fixed with respect to the tension knob. A windage knob also has a throughbore within which the pivot shaft extends. At least a portion of the throughbore of the windage knob is internally threaded.

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: An archery broadhead having a ferrule body with longitudinal grooves that accept a plurality of fixed and/or pivotal blades. At least a port ion of the ferrule body has a multiplicity of irregularities that form an irregular skin surface having a surface roughness. The irregularities enhance aerodynamic flight characteristics of the broadhead and also reduce frictional drag as the broadhead penetrates a target. The irregularities can be formed by a directional, non-directional or multi-directional set of repeating dimples, grooves, lands, stippling and/or any other suitable structure that forms a pattern, uniform or non-uniform.

Abstract: An arrow rest preferably having three or more flanges that extend outward in a generally radial direction. The flanges are peripherally spaced with respect to each other and form a clearance cutout between flange surfaces that face or oppose each other. The flanges or another suitably shaped body form two or more clearance cutouts that each accommodate a different diameter of a differently sized arrow shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjustably mounting an arrow rest wherein a pivot shaft is mounted within a through bore of a sleeve, so that the pivot shaft can pivot or rotate between a normal rest position and a maximum forward position. The sleeve is mounted with respect to a bracket that is fixed with respect to an archery bow riser. Opposing end portions of the pivot shaft extend beyond corresponding end surfaces of the sleeve. One of the end portions of the pivot shaft is housed within an end cap bore. A spring has one end foot attached or mounted with respect to the end cap and an opposing end foot attached or mounted with respect to the one end portion of the pivot shaft housed within the end cap bore. A pair of keeper elements and a wave washer or other spring element are attached to or mounted with respect to the pivot shaft to significantly reduce horizontal movement or longitudinal play of the pivot shaft with respect to the sleeve and thus of the arrow rest within a corresponding shooting window.

Abstract: A blade-opening arrowhead wherein at least one blade, preferably two blades, are pivotally mounted with respect to a blade carrying body. A bias force is used to urge an engagement member against a corresponding blade. The bias force 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: An archery accessory adapter apparatus including an adapter plate having at least one bore, and a locknut for allowing repeated mountings and demountings of an archery accessory from the bowriser portion of a bow, without the need for tools in the target or hunting field, and without requiring lateral readjustment of the archery accessory once mounted on the bowriser.

Abstract: A bow stabilizer is mounted to an archery bow for the purpose of balancing the archery bow and reducing recoil, shock and vibration forces and noise that results when an arrow is discharged from the archery bow. The bow stabilizer has a hollow body which defines a chamber. An end plug is sealably secured to an end of the hollow body and another end plug is sealably secured to an opposite end of the hollow body. The bow stabilizer has at least one counterweight which is adjustable along a longitudinal axis of the hollow body to balance the archery bow. The chamber of the hollow body is partially filled with granular solids.
