Patent number: 11598602Abstract: An archery bowstring weight is provided including a sleeve that is encapsulated and suspended at least partially within an overmolded polymeric body forming an exterior of the bowstring weight. The sleeve can be a metal body, such as a ring, that floats or moves inside the polymeric body when the bowstring vibrates to dampen vibration of the bowstring. The sleeve can be isolated or separated from the bowstring by an inner wall of the polymeric body that is disposed between the bowstring and the sleeve when the weight is installed on the bowstring. The oscillation of the sleeve inside the overmolded polymeric body also can attenuate string oscillation and reduce string noise. A related method is provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Gas Bowstrings, LLCInventor: Eric J. Griggs

Patent number: 9255762Abstract: A triggerless back tension archery release is provided. Disclosed archery releases include a bearing ring that rotates relative to a release body. During use, the bearing ring rotates to the same position when force is applied during a draw cycle. This reduces inconsistent placement of the finger and provides consistent release alignment. Disclosed archery releases also include a variety of removable finger extension that provide high mass triggers. An archer can feel subtle movement of the high mass triggers with increased accuracy which provides better control over the archery release.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Perfect Form Manufacturing LLCInventors: Daniel N. Kelly, Eric J. Griggs
