Abstract: An archery bow with an offset handle is disclosed. The handle is hingedly connected to the riser of the bow so that the handle is free to pivot relative to the riser and vice versa. This connection prevents torque from being transmitted from the handle to the riser and offers improved accuracy. The connection between the riser and the handle allows rotation about an axis which coincides with the center plane of the bow. There is a substantial offset between the handle and the center plane of the bow. The offset provides substantial arm clearance and permits construction of the bow to accommodate remarkably short brace heights. Preferably, an arm brace is attached to the handle. An improved bow having such offset handle as well as reduced brace height and increased power stroke and increased standard rated velocity is also disclosed. A riser modification is taught wherein the limb angle is maintained to achieve the increases in power stroke and standard rated velocity.

Abstract: A grip assembly for an archery bow installed on the riser of a bow to provide a frictionless pivot connection between the bow and the grip and which does not impart torque to the bow. Three styles of frictionless pivot connections are disclosed which include a pivot grip, a pull grip and a combination pull grip and pivot. The invention is adaptable to existing bows and may be installed by the user, or may be included by the manufacturer or the bow. The invention is adapted to several known styles of archer bows.
