Abstract: An improved electronic game tracking system is disclosed. The game tracking system uses electronic radio ranging to determine the distance and direction to a game animal to which the game tracking system is attached. Improvements to the game tracking system address disclosed sources of range determination error and remove or reduce their effects on the determination of the range between an electronic receiver which can detect the transmitter or tag and the transmitter or tag.

Abstract: What is disclosed is a slideable weight for use on an archery bow. The slideable weight is configured to travel from a position near a limb of an archery bow or a pulley of a compound archery bow toward a midline of the bowstring. This creates a catapult like effect that increases the speed of an arrow released from the bow. The device can conceivably be used on any archery bow, including compound, recurve, or other bow.

Abstract: Provided is a crossbow safety system comprising a crossbow, a pressure sensor, and an interlock. The crossbow has a bowstring operable between a cocked and an uncocked position, a foregrip adapted for being grasped by an associated hand of an associated user, and a trigger assembly adapted to selectably retain the bowstring in the cocked position. The pressure sensor is on or in the foregrip, and is adapted to detect a pressure signature from the foregrip being grasped by an associated hand of an associated user, the associated hand having fingers. The interlock is operationally engaged with the pressure sensor and the trigger assembly, and is adapted to lock the trigger assembly from releasing the bowstring if the pressure sensor does not detect a first pressure signature sufficiently similar to a predetermined pressure signature.

The flange portion, the insertion portion and the shaft portion define a catch recess configured to catch an assembly of a plurality of fusible toy beads made of a water-soluble resin.

Abstract: An archery release device and method are described herein. The archery release device, in an embodiment, includes a body and an extension. The extension is configured to be pivotally coupled to the body. A portion of the body is configured to be inserted into the extension. To secure the extension in a desired position relative to the body, a portion of the extension is configured to flex in response to a securement force.

Abstract: A system produces bubbles. The system may be used as a children's toy, a special effects machine, an art performance prop, a party entertainment item, or a similar object for entertaining users. The system is designed to produce bubbles regardless of the orientation of the system. The system includes a reservoir, a pump, a swiping mechanism, and a fan. The reservoir receives and stores fluid, and the pump provides pressure on the stored fluid such that the fluid travels through the reservoir and exits the reservoir. The swiping mechanism spreads across the exited fluid to create a fluid sheet, and the fan blows on the fluid sheet, transforming it into a bubble. The pump enables the stored fluid to be available for bubble production at any orientation of the system. The system may be moved, rotated, thrown, bounced, swung, etc. by a user and produce bubbles during its motion.

Abstract: An archery draw stop system and method are disclosed herein. The archery draw stop system, in an embodiment, includes a limb engager configured to be mounted to a limb portion of a limb of an archery bow. The archery draw stop system also has a draw stopper portion configured to engage a member that is coupled to a rotary of the archery bow.

Abstract: In a trigger labor-saving structure of a crossbow, the crossbow includes a body, an arcuate limb, and a trigger assembly. The limb is mounted adjacent to a front end of the body and intersects with the body, and the limb includes a bowstring. The trigger assembly includes: a trigger seat arranged on the body, a trigger partially accommodated in the trigger seat and downward extending out of the trigger seat, with the trigger having a stop face, and with the stop face having a first periphery and a second periphery; a string hook member housed in the trigger seat and including an engagement face corresponding to the stop face; and at least one concave portion formed on the stop face and defined between the first periphery and the second periphery. Thus, frictional resistance between the stop face and the engagement face reduces.

Abstract: A portable automatic football snapper may be built as a tube to launch football snaps while being lightweight and able to be carried by handle, shoulder-strap, or clipped onto another backpack. The snapper is small and can store a football within, and, when stood upright, may serve as a stand for a football placed on top to simulate an “under center” exchange. A stand built into a side of the bag extends to establish a base and ideal snap angle for shotgun snap use. Inside the snapper, a cup may be used to hold the football, may be pulled down and clipped into a pre-snap position, and upon release is pulled upwards, launching or “snapping” the ball in a spiral to the quarterback. The release may be manual, automatic based on a mechanical or electronic timer, or sound-activated or remote controlled allowing snap control by the quarterback.

Abstract: Arrowhead (1) for a target, comprised of an arrowhead body (2) having three portions, including a front portion (2a), a central portion (2b), and a rear portion (2c), the front portion constituting the point for penetrating into the target, comprising mechanisms for facilitating the removal of the lodged arrow, such mechanisms being formed by at least one projecting profile (3), characterized in that the projecting profile(s) is/are in the form of a portion of a sphere.

The first idler wheel (5) is rotationally journalled in a first end portion of the riser (2) and the second idler wheel (6) is rotationally journalled in a second end portion of the riser (2) such that both idler wheels (5, 6) are stationary when the bow system (1) is tensioned.

Abstract: A sports projectile delivery system may control the operation of a launcher to cause an American football or other sports projectile to be delivered to a target location on a field. In some aspects, the system can track player movements on the field, e.g., through the use of a tracking device mounted on the player, enabling the ball etc. to be launched to a player in anticipation of where the player will go. The system may include additional customization and/or logging options, e.g., permitting a player to designate a body position (e.g., above the head or near the knees) for delivery of the ball, designate a speed or hang time for delivery, or provide player data and analytics to an online or otherwise connected database.
