Abstract: In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser, a limb member and a support member. The limb member is supported by the riser at a first location. The limb member supports an axle at a second location. The support member is supported by the riser and arranged to support the limb member. The support member contacts the limb member at a contact location. The contact location is oriented between the first location and the second location along the length of the limb member.
Abstract: In some embodiments, an archery bow limb comprises a body comprising a first end and a second end. The first end is arranged to be supported by a riser. The second end is arranged to support an axle and a rotatable member. A reinforcing member extends through the body. The reinforcing member is oriented parallel to the axle.
Abstract: In some embodiments, an arrow comprises a shaft, a nock and a deflector. The shaft comprises a cavity and the nock comprises a boss. The deflector surrounds the shaft and comprises a deflecting surface oriented at an angle to a surface of the shaft. The boss is positioned within the cavity and the deflector overlaps the boss.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a limb supported by a riser and an axle supported by the limb. A plurality of bearings are supported by the axle, which comprise a first dynamic bearing and a second dynamic bearing. A rotatable member is supported by the plurality of bearings. The first dynamic bearing is shaped differently from the second dynamic bearing. In some embodiments, the axle comprises a non-contacting length portion comprising less than 15% of the axle length.
Abstract: In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser, a first limb, a second limb, a bowstring and a sling mount. In some embodiments, the sling mount comprises a proximal portion, an intermediate portion and a distal portion. In some embodiments, the proximal portion is attached to the bow. In some embodiments, a width of the intermediate portion is less than a width of the distal portion.
Abstract: In some embodiments, an arrow comprises a shaft comprising a tubular wall comprising a cavity and a nock comprising a notch arranged to engage a bowstring. An intake inlet is in fluid communication with the cavity and an exhaust outlet is in fluid communication with the cavity.
Abstract: In some embodiments, a limb assembly comprises a limb cup, a first limb member and a second limb member. The first limb member supports a rotatable member. The first limb member is supported by the limb cup at a first location and is supported by the second limb member at a second location. The second limb member is supported by the limb cup. The second limb member applies a supporting force to the first limb member.
Abstract: In some embodiments, crossbow comprises a frame, a bow portion comprising a bowstring, a latch and a trigger. An arrow rest is supported by the frame at a first location. The frame is also arranged to support the arrow rest at a second location. A distance between the latch and the first location is different from a distance between the latch and the second location.
