Abstract: An archery bow wrist brace has an externally padded, generally U-shaped rigid frame having an open front end which is anchored to a connecting bracket secured to a lower front portion of the bow handle. From their juncture with the bow handle the frame legs extend rearwardly of the handle to one side of the bow string and are positioned beneath the wrist and forearm of the archer's bow hand as it operatively grips the bow handle. The closed rear end of the padded frame is upwardly and rearwardly bent, and passes over and engages the forearm. Immediately in front of the bent rear frame end the padded frame legs are interconnectable with a tightening strap structure which passes beneath and engages the forearm. The bent rear frame end and the tightening strap structure cooperate to lock the forearm against appreciable transverse movement relative to the frame legs, thereby bracing the bow hand wrist and inhibiting undesirable pivoting of the bow body caused by string draw and release torques imposed thereon.
