Abstract: An archery bowstring accessory includes a unitary longitudinally elongated body having a head end portion, a tail end portion, and an intermediate section extending therebetween. The intermediate section is configured to extend longitudinally along a bowstring in an orientation which configures the head end portion more proximate a limb end of a bow which receives said bowstring than is the tail end portion. As so received, the head end portion constitutes a speed increasing mass effective to impart increased arrow speed in an arrow shot by said bowstring of said bow than would otherwise occur in an identical arrow shot in the absence of the speed increasing mass. As so received, the tail end portion constitutes a vibration dampening mass effective to impart reduced bowstring vibration in said arrow shot than would otherwise occur in said identical arrow shot in the absence of said vibration dampening mass. Methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A connector apparatus for removably securing an archery bow accessory to an archery bow. The connector apparatus includes a base that is discrete from the archery bow. The base has a first portion configured for removably securing the archery bow accessory thereon and a second portion spaced from the first portion.

Abstract: A damping apparatus for an archery bow includes a semi-solid substance which is attachable to an archery bow. In one embodiment, the semi-solid substance is inserted into an aperture formed in the handle riser and secured in place by a retaining clip. In another embodiment, a double-backed adhesive tape is used to attach the semi-solid substance to any desired location on the handle riser. The present invention also includes a method of fabricating a handle riser incorporating a vibration dampener.

Abstract: A handle riser for an archery bow includes a primary shelf portion and a shelf extension portion integrally interconnected with the primary shelf portion. The shelf extension portion is movable relative to the primary shelf portion to infinitely adjust an arrow rest assembly coupled thereto in overdraw positions between a normal arrow rest position and a maximum overdraw position. A recess is formed in the primary shelf portion to allow the arrow rest upon pivoting to recess below a plane corresponding with the top surface of the shelf portion.

Abstract: A tiller adjustment system for an archery bow includes a tiller adjustment knob for precisely adjusting the tiller of a bow limb. A locking mechanism secures the tiller adjustment knob in place to ensure that the precise tiller adjustments are not disturbed, even when the bow is broken down for travelling and storage. A specialized spacer with a curved top surface is disposed within a similarly curved ceiling of an internal cavity formed in the tiller adjustment knob. In addition, a biasing mechanism in the form of two spring steel members are positioned in the bottom of the limb pocket to urge the bow limb into engagement with the tiller adjustment knob.

Abstract: A radiation shielding apparatus for an archery bow includes reflective sheets of material adhereable to a bow limb face. The sheets are comprised of different sizes, including multiple height dimensions and different width dimensions. Each sheet has an outer glossy reflective surface and an inner surface. An adhesive is applied to the inner surface to enable the sheets to be removably adhered to the bow limb face. The glossy surface deflects light radiation away from the bow limb to minimize heating of the bow limb. An archery bow in accordance with the invention includes such sheets.

Abstract: Eccentric wheels of a compound archery bow are mounted in respective bow limb receiving slots for pivotal movement between a rest draw angular position and a full draw angular position. Each wheel pivot axis extends transversely across the respective wheel receiving slot and is spaced an effective preset slot depth distance A from the respective slot root. Each wheel has a bowstring portion with a peripheral bowstring track formed therein for receiving a section of a bowstring. The peripheral bowstring track has a progressively increasing moment arm radius relative to the respective pivot axis from a rest draw segment to a full draw segment. The moment arm radius from the pivot axis to the full draw segment of the bowstring portion is greater than the effective slot depth distance A to extend the effective length of the respective flexible power limb at the full draw angular position by a distance greater than the slot depth.
