  • Patent number: 9377270
    Abstract: A stabilizer for an archery bow is provided, the stabilizer including a continuous stabilizer bar having a first segment, a second segment and an articulating, lockable joint joining the first segment and the second segment. The joint enables the first segment and second segment to be selectively positionable at any one of multiple preselected bar angles relative to one another, so that a user can fine tune the orientation, mass distribution, balance and shooting characteristics of a bow to which the stabilizer is joined.

  • Patent number: 9086250
    Abstract: An archery bow stabilizer that balances an archery bow and generally inhibits roll, pitch and/or yaw of the bow when the bow is held, drawn, or shot by an archer. The stabilizer can include an optional mounting bracket that mounts to the riser of an archery bow, one or more mounting arms, and one or more stabilizing rods joined with the arms via clamping elements. The rods can be movable forward and rearward relative to the mounting bracket and/or riser to provide a variety of weight adjustment and distribution capabilities. Optional weights can be joined with ends of the rods to provide further weight adjustment and distribution.

  • Patent number: 8371283
    Abstract: An archery bow includes a cable guard and an optional cable guide that holds a cable of the bow away from a plane in which a bowstring of the bow moves. The cable guard can define a bore, through which the cable is positioned, extending generally parallel to the bowstring when the bowstring is in an undrawn state. The cable guard bore can include a rounded opening to minimize abrasion to the cable. The cable guide can include a ceramic element having a rounded surface to minimize abrasion to the cable. The ceramic element can be included in an immovable or stationary cable guide, as well as an alternative cable guide including moving components, to engage and hold the cable away from the bowstring, while minimizing abrasion and/or friction on the cable.

  • Publication number: 20120240913
    Abstract: A stabilizer for an archery bow including an elongated member having a first portion adapted to flex and oscillate, thereby absorbing bow shock and/or vibration, and a second portion stiffened to maintain at least part of the elongated member in a relatively stationary position, thereby minimizing its movement as the bow is shot. The elongated member can be hollow and tubular, and can be constructed from laminated carbon prepreg, or other lightweight carbon, composite and/or polymeric material. The first portion can include a fabric or other flexible material. The second portion can include a more dense, heavier or other, different material so that the second portion is more rigid, dense, heavy and/or stiff than the first portion. The stabilizer can include an optional weight module having multiple replaceable and selectively positionable weight elements.
