Abstract: A riser (102) of an archery bow (100) has plurality of holes (200) at least partially through the riser for use in attaching a sight mount (114) to the bow. In one embodiment, the plurality of holes includes eighteen holes (201-218). The eighteen holes are grouped into a top group (228) and a bottom group (229). The eighteen holes include nine pairs of holes. Each pair consists of a preselected one hole from the top group and a preselected one hole from the bottom group. Each pair of holes is usable to attach a sight mount to the riser at a different vertical position on the riser. In another embodiment, the riser has a pair of vertically oriented slots (701) and (702). The abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b).

Abstract: The fork in the limb of a compound archery bow is reinforced with a collar having a flange for stiffening the collar and fitting within the fork. The flange is glued to the inside of the fork to strengthen the joint between the rest of the collar and the fork. A hole in a limb is reinforced with a cylindrical flange having an annular disk extending over a major surface of the limb. Both the cylindrical flange and the disk are glued to the limb.

Abstract: Manufacturing a handle for an archery bow is simplified by extruding a strip having the side to side cross-sectional shape of the handle, cutting the strip into blanks, and machining each blank according to the front to rear outline desired for each handle. Many differently shaped handles can be made from the same shape blanks.

Abstract: In an archery bow having a central riser and a separate grip, the grip is made adjustable from side to side by making the width of the channel down the back of the grip greater than the thickness of the riser. The grip is adjusted from side to side by spacers or shims located between one side of the riser and the grip or by adjusting screws on opposite sides of the grip. Since the hand of the archer extends around both the grip and the riser, as the grip is moved to the side, the effect is a rotation of the archer's hold on the bow without actually rotating the grip.

Abstract: In an archery bow having a central riser and a separate grip, the grip is made adjustable from side to side by making the width of the channel down the back of the grip greater than the thickness of the riser. Spacers or shims are located between one side of the riser and the grip for adjusting the grip from side to side only. Since the hand of the archer extends around both the grip and the riser, as the grip is moved to the side, the effect is a rotation of the archer's hold on the bow without actually rotating the grip.

Abstract: There is disclosed speed brackets for use on a compound bow which is formed by a pair of limbs mounted at the interior ends thereof to a handle section, comprising a pair of mount brackets carried on the bow handle section adjacent the opposed ends thereof and extending laterally inwardly in the direction of the intermediate stretch of the bow string, the inward ends of each of the mount brackets contacting the bow string thereby to form a tensioning point for the bow string at a point spaced from each of the limbs and positioned between the limbs and the intermediate stretch of the bow string.
