  • Patent number: 11927422
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure deal with cams and/or cam systems mounted or mountable on an archery bow. In one embodiment, the cam system is a hybrid cam system with a master/drive cam and a slave/driven cam. The cam system is designed to enable large draw length adjustments to fit a variety of archers. To facilitate the draw length adjustment, the master/drive cam includes a control module. The slave/driven cam includes an adjustable control cable post. In one example, the control module and the control cable post may have three different mounting locations, each corresponding to a different draw length range.

  • Patent number: 11460278
    Abstract: Modular broadheads for use with an archery bow and arrow include interchangeable bases and tip portions which can be mixed and matched in various permutations as selected by an archer. An archer may conveniently switch between different types of broadheads on an arrow such as field points for target shooting, fixed blade broadheads for hunting, and/or mechanical blade broadheads for hunting without changing the broadhead weight. Alternately, an archer may conveniently change the weight at the front of the arrow by changing one or both of the base and tip portions.

  • Patent number: 11428500
    Abstract: A back tension archery release aid including a rotatable safety release lever. The safety release lever is engaged and operated by the outer fingers of an archer. Once an archer achieves full draw, the release lever is operated by the archer's outer fingers to lock a portion of a release head assembly in place. Further rotation of the release releases the bowstring and fires an arrow. Certain back tension release aid embodiments include magnets which assist in holding a sear and bridge together within the release head assembly prior to releasing an arrow and assist in resetting the release after an arrow is released.

  • Patent number: 11428497
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure deal with stabilizers for an archery bow which incorporate a magnetic damping assembly. In one form, the stabilizer includes a housing having a length defining a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is configured to secure the housing to an archery bow. A ferromagnetic mass formed of a ferromagnetic material is arranged adjacent the distal end of the housing. A magnet is also arranged adjacent the distal end of the housing. The magnet and the mass are spaced a preset distance apart. The ferromagnetic mass is able to oscillate relative to the magnet when vibrations are transferred to the stabilizer. The magnetic field applies a drag force which dampens the oscillation of the magnet relative to the ferromagnetic mass.

  • Patent number: 11353280
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure deal with bow stabilizers mounted or mountable on an archery bow. The stabilizer incorporates a hollow housing with a proximal end and a distal end. Mounted to the distal end of the housing is a coupling formed of elastic vibration damping material. The coupling includes an outer wall section extending within the housing and a cylinder spaced inward from the outer wall section. Extending between the outer wall section and the cylinder are one or more flexible connectors. The cylinder supports a shaft with an inner weight mounted to a first end and spaced inward from the housing. The shaft and inner weight are arranged in a floating arrangement where oscillation of the shaft and inner weight does not impact the housing.

  • Patent number: 11313640
    Abstract: A crossbow assembly uses an arrangement with two pairs of limbs, with one pair of opposing limbs on each side of the stock. The two limbs within each pair are arranged in opposition to each other in a vertical plane. The limb tips are each connected to an axle assembly with respective limb cables. The axle has a pair of axle pulleys at opposing ends. A bowstring has opposing ends connected to each axle pulley. The bowstring extends forward from each axle pulley and extends across the stock, passing between two bowstring pulleys. The middle of the bowstring forms the nock point.
