Abstract: A combination cable guard and bow sight apparatus for a bow having both a bow string and cable provided thereon and comprising a substantially flat body adapted to be secured to the central portion of the bow and having a recess therein for receiving an elongated rod member. The rod member being arranged for extending from the bow in a direction toward the bow string and through a sufficiently great distance for engaging the cable and retaining the cable away from the plane of the bow string to preclude interference therebetween during use of the bow, the flat body being further provided with a plurality of elongated apertures, each aperture receiving a sight element therein for improving the aim of the archer using the bow thus providing a single implement which functions as both a cable guard and a bow sighting mechanism.

Abstract: A trigger device for facilitating pulling of a bow string and for quick release of the taut bow string for propelling an arrow from the bow, said trigger device comprising a main body portion provided with suitable finger receiving recesses and a secondary body portion substantially perpendicular to the main body portion having a bow string hold and releasing latch mechanism carried thereby. The latching mechanism comprises a flexible loop member adapted for encircling the bow string and engaging a loop receiving recess provided in the secondary body portion. A latch member extends across the open end of the loop receiving recess and is operably connected with a release trigger by way of a pivotal bell crank and a lever member whereby a light touch of the trigger member by the finger of the archer quickly causes the bell crank and lever member to operate to release the latch member for release of the taut bow string.

A latch member extends across the open end of the loop receiving recess and is operably connected with a release trigger by a suitable bell crank whereby a light touch of the trigger member by the finger of the archer quickly and easily releases the loop from the loop recess for release of the taut bow string. The bell crank is L-shaped and is positioned in a generally L-shaped passageway in the trigger device.
