Abstract: An improved arrow system comprises an arrow shaft having first and second tubular end sections each having substantially parallel inner and outer surfaces, and an intermediate tubular section which is fixedly coupled between the first and second tubular end sections and having an inner diameter which is greatest at its ends and which decreases toward the longitudinal center of the intermediate section. An adjustable weight arrow point assembly co-operates with the first tubular end section while an adjustable weight self-aligning nock assembly co-operates with the second tubular end section.

Abstract: Limb/pulley torque in a compound bow is negated by providing a restoring force, as a result of the deflected bow when drawn, comprised of unequal components which balance the torsional force imparted to the bow end by the summation of forces applied by the cable. In accordance with one embodiment, the unequal components are achieved by employing unequal cross sectional areas in the material of the respective two sides about the longitudinal axis of the bow. In another embodiment, the pulley/cam structure and the tieoff element which support the cable are spaced at predetermined distances from the longitudinal axis of the bow to yield respective torque having equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Abstract: A bow mounted quiver includes a storage apparatus for releasably housing a plurality of arrows on one side of the bow and a counterweight mounted on an opposite side of the bow to compensate for the twisting torque produced by the weight of the storage apparatus and the arrows contained therein. Both the counterweight and the storage apparatus are secured to the bow by means of externally threaded shaft members. In a preferred embodiment, one counterweight threadably engages the external threads on the shaft member and is rotatable thereon so as to vary the torque produced thereby. That is, as arrows are removed from the quiver, the counterweight may be rotated clockwise so as to cause its movement toward the bow. As arrows are added to the quiver, the counterweight is rotated counter-clockwise increasing its distance from the bow and thereby increasing the torque produced thereby.

An adjustable weight arrow point assembly co-operates with the first tubular end section while an adjustable weight self-aligning nock assembly co-operates with the second tubular end section. The coupling between the arrow point and shaft also provides for alignment of the former on the latter.
