  • Patent number: 5526800
    Abstract: An adjustable archery arrow support assembly which permits an archery bow to be "tuned" to an individual archer's arrow releasing characteristics. The archery arrow support device of the invention is adjusted by rotating the archery arrow support device about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the vertical axis of the archery bow to which the adjustable archery arrow support device of the invention is attached.

  • Patent number: 4569325
    Abstract: An improved arrow support device to be used on archery bows, including a pair of arrow support members, rigidly attached to a pivotable yoke member. The arrow support members are bound by the yoke member and oriented in relation to one another so that upon the discharge of an arrow, the arrow shaft contacting the outer tips of the arrow support members present no obstruction to the passage of an arrow with fletching. The yoke member pivots about an axis oriented so that the arrow contacting surfaces of the arrow support members can move downwardly at an angle inclined toward the surface of the bow sight window. The yoke member is held against a stop by spring tension. When the arrow bends due to the initial impact of release, the yoke assembly pivots against the spring tension which will return the yoke assembly to the stop when the initial bend of the arrow shaft passes through the zero point of the "S" curve. The yoke assembly is pivotally attachable to a pivot frame assembly which is attachable to a bow.

  • Patent number: 4421092
    Abstract: An improved arrow support device to be used on archery bows, including a pair of elongated, generally non-resilient arrow support members, rigidly attached to a pivotable yoke member. The arrow support members are bound by the yoke member and oriented in relation to one another so that the arrow shaft contacting outer tips of the arrow support members present no obstruction to the passage of an arrow with fletching, upon discharge of a shot. The yoke member pivots about an axis oriented so that the arrow contacting surfaces of the arrow support members can move downwardly at an angle inclined toward the surface of the bow sight window. The yoke member is held against a stop by spring tension. When the arrow bends due to the initial impact of release, the yoke assembly pivots against the spring tension which will return the yoke assembly to the stop when the initial bend of the arrow shaft passes through the zero point of the "S" curve.
