  • Patent number: 9222752
    Abstract: A weapon sighting system for gathering ambient or generated light and projecting a fixed or adjustable ballistic reticule image for targeting. The system includes a partially reflective, zero parallax, optical lens assembly, an illuminating reticule projection component, and an adjustable bracket fixed to the weapon being sighted. The bracket supports the lens assembly at one end and the projection component at an opposing end. The projection component is aligned to project a light image onto the lens assembly to be reflected back into the target sightline. The projection component gathers ambient (or generated) light through polymer acrylic solid materials and/or fiber optics, and directs the light through a fixed or adjustable mask. The movement of the weapon effects a corresponding movement in the angle of reflection through the optics of the sighting system. An adjustable mask allows the projected image to change to accommodate near and distant targets.

  • Patent number: 8931469
    Abstract: A quiver for holding arrows or bolts. The quiver may be releasably attached to a mounting rail on a bow, belt, or the like. The quiver includes a frame connecting two end structures, each end structure having arrow head pockets, arrow shaft clips, and a connector for attachment to the frame. At a midsection of the frame is a mounting block with an attachment mechanism for releasably securing the quiver to the mounting rail. The preferable mounting rail is of the Picatinny type. A first set of arrows (three in the preferred embodiment) may be positioned with arrow heads in the arrow head pockets of one end structure and arrow shafts in the arrow shaft clips of the second end structure. A second set of arrows is positioned in a similar manner but in the opposite direction between the end structures on the frame.

  • Patent number: 8839776
    Abstract: A bow stabilizer incorporating one or more attachment rails for mounting a variety of accessories to the stabilizer for use in conjunction with the bow or other target sighting device. The stabilizer is rotationally adjustable about a center axis attachment post connecting the stabilizer to the bow. In addition to rotating the stabilizer for balance, the rails are individually adjustable side to side at their ends and are preferably of the picatinny or weaver rail configuration. Anywhere from one to four (or more) accessory rails may be positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically on the stabilizer. One or more counterbalance weights may be adjustably positioned on one or more of the rails to offset and balance the weight of attached accessories.

  • Patent number: 8776386
    Abstract: A bow sight with light gathering point shaped pins with illuminated yardage indicia. The point shaped pins are individually adjustable with both gross set point adjustments and micro set point adjustments. The sight pins are structured as plates stacked within a pin housing supported by an adjustment bracket connecting to a riser mount secured to the bow stock. The light gathering sight and structures provide brighter illumination while retaining a fine resolution point along with illuminated yardage indicators facing towards the archer. Each of the sight pins is grossly adjustable in a vertical orientation and finely adjustable through separate sets of adjustment bolts. The pin housing surrounds the sight pin tips to form a sight window through which the archer may aim the bow. Structures are provided on the external surface of the surrounding pin housing to support Picatinny Rails for accessory attachments.

  • Patent number: 8567382
    Abstract: A bow stabilizer/vibration dampener incorporating one or more attachment rails for mounting a variety of accessories to the stabilizer for use in conjunction with the bow or other target sighting device. The rails are adjustable side to side at their ends and are preferably of the picatinny or weaver rail configuration. Anywhere from one to four (or more) accessory rails may be positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically on the stabilizer. In addition, the invention anticipates application of the adjustable rail structures positioned in other locations on the bow.

  • Publication number: 20110204113
    Abstract: A system for allowing an archer to temporarily position, place, and carry a bow when the bow is not specifically being drawn on a target. The system comprises two parts, a first part fixed on the bow and a second part positioned on the archer, typically in association with an article of clothing on the archer. The first part is a ball shaped component fixed to the bow. The user then wears a socket type clip, where the socket is sized to accommodate the ball by simply dropping the ball in for a quick attach and detach. A slot in the socket allows quick drop in ability, but is sized to secure to the bow as it swings in the socket during normal walking, hunting, climbing, or other shooting activities. The socket clip is preferably attached to the user's belt but may alternately be attached to the user's clothing, vehicle, or other stationary object for secure and tactical bow retention.
