Abstract: A pendulum sight for archery bows that includes a bow mounting bracket secured to a pendulum support frame and a pendulum pivotally mounted to the pendulum support frame with a pivoting pendulum axle having two axle ends. The improvement includes providing one or more vibration/noise damping elements between moving and or contacting points of the pendulum sight to minimize or eliminate noise generated by the pendulum sight that results from vibrations created by shooting an arrow from a bow to which the pendulum sight is affixed.

Abstract: An arrow rest with arrow shaft supports that pivot away from the arrow shaft with sufficient speed to prevent any of the arrow vanes from striking any of the arrow shaft supports. The arrow shaft supports are accelerated away from the arrow shaft by a spring tension force after a force generated by the moving arrow overcomes a magnetic holding force that holds the arrow shaft supports in an arrow shaft support position.

Abstract: A pair of arrow rest prongs are supported beneath an arrow by a bracket secured to an archery bow. The prongs are supported in a mirror arrangement and define corresponding mirror image structures. Each arrow rest prong includes an attachment pin of generally cylindrical shape and defining a head portion to which a multiply curved multiply angled Teflon prong portion is attached by direct molding. Each prong defines an end proximate to the cylindrical pin and receiving the head portion from which the molded portion of the prong curves outwardly to an outwardly angled portion and transitions to an inwardly angled portion which in turn transitions to a rest end which defines a downwardly and outwardly curved portion. A curved crown is formed at the uppermost portion of the rest end. The prongs are identical in structure and shape with the difference being a mirror image relationship between the prongs.

Abstract: A waist supported bow string steadying device for an archer includes a fabric envelope within which a resilient bladder is supported to provide a size variable somewhat resilient member for contact with the bow string of a drawn bow prior to release. In several embodiments, the resilient member includes an inflatable bladder having a captive air volume therein which inflates to various degrees to provide bow string arrow rests of varying sizes. In alternate embodiments, a portion of the steadying device is provided with a storage cavity in which articles of convenience may be stored. In still further embodiments, the interior of the fabric envelope is provided with one or more resilient foam pads to impart shape and size to the fabric envelope and the desired dimension to the bow string steadying device.

Abstract: A retracting arrow rest for archery bow is used in combination with a compound bow having a cable slide movable as the bow is drawn and released. A generally L-shaped body is secured to the cable guard of the compound bow and supports a rotatably positioned arrow guide having a tapered notch for receiving an arrow shaft. A lever is secured to the supporting shaft and is coupled to the cable slide by a flexible line. A pair of threaded stop members are adjustably positionable within the arrow rest body to interact with stop surfaces formed upon the rotatable end bearings supporting the shaft to provide travel limits for the arrow guide in both the retracted and extended positions.

Abstract: An archery bow torque sight that allows an archer to improve accuracy by overcoming or substantially reducing the twisting and/or turning motion of a bow about the hand grip when force is applied as the archer draws the bow to an anchor point. The torque bow sight includes an elongated support bracket having a front sight in which a first single sight line is vertically disposed and a rear sight in which a second single sight line is vertically disposed so as to be superimposed over the first monofilament. The second sight line must be equal to or greater than the diameter of the first sight line. A yardage indicator is mounted within a compartment defined as part of the housing of the front sight by means of an improved adjusting device.

Abstract: An archery apparatus for optimizing the force exerted on the arrow upon release includes a central section or riser and a pair of resilient limbs extending in opposite directions therefrom. A bowstring is connected between the free ends of the limbs and includes a nocking point for engagement with the nock of an arrow. An arrow rest is carried by the riser and together with the nocking point on the bowstring define a shooting axis along with the arrow travels when departing the bow. A hand grip is mounted on the riser adjacent the shooting axis for accommodating the left or right hand of an archer. A push member extends rearwardly of the riser for accommodating the other hand of the archer. A harness adapted to be worn by the archer includes a bowstring holding and/or releasing mechanism for selectively holding and/or releasing the bowstring adjacent the nocking point.
