  • Patent number: 12326316
    Abstract: A support for retaining an archery bow on a support surface includes a mounting block affixable to the archery bow and a member adjustably coupled to the mounting block. The member can be repositionable between two or more configurations relative to the mounting block. For example, the member can be rotatable between two or more orientations relative to the mounting block. In some examples, the member can be linearly repositionable relative to the mounting block. In some examples, the member can be a first member and the support can further include a second member adjustably coupled to the mounting block.

  • Patent number: 11585627
    Abstract: An adjustable limb pocket of an archery bow includes a pocket insert having at least one channel that extends along a length of the pocket insert. The at least one channel can include a plurality of attachment positions. A limb contact member can be coupled to one of the plurality of attachment positions to support a bow limb retained within the limb pocket. One or more limb contact members can be repositionable within one or more channels of the pocket insert to vary a bowstring tension of the archery bow and/or manipulate the movement a distal tip of the bow limb as the bowstring is drawn and released. In some cases, one or more weights are positioned inside the limb pocket.

  • Patent number: 9010307
    Abstract: A traditional archery bow assembly includes a handle assembly, a bowstring, and a first limb bolt assembly. The handle assembly includes a riser, an upper limb, and a lower limb, wherein the upper and lower limbs each include a distal end and a proximal end connected to the riser. The bowstring extends between the distal ends of the upper and lower limbs. The first limb bolt assembly is operable to connect one of the upper and lower limbs to the riser. The first limb bolt assembly includes a shank portion and a head portion, wherein the head portion defines a contact surface that faces and contacts the one of the upper and lower limbs, and is pivotable relative to the shank portion.
