  • Patent number: 6161532
    Abstract: The invention comprises an archery bow with a drawlock device adapted for use with an overdraw arrow rest. The device includes an elongated mounting bracket attached at its forward end to the bow's handle, and having intermediate its forward and rearward ends an overdraw arrow rest. The device further includes a draw tube attached to the rearward end of the mounting bracket and a draw rod in telescoping engagement with the draw tube. In a preferred embodiment, the draw tube can be attached to the mounting bracket at a selectable angle to align with the axis of the arrow between nock point and arrow rest after vertical adjustment to a tuned knocking point. The back end of the draw rod supports a bow string mechanical release. A latching device locks and holds the draw rod at a full draw position when the bow string is drawn beyond the full draw position.

  • Patent number: 5944004
    Abstract: The invention comprises a combination stabilizer/drawlock device adapted for use with an overdraw arrow rest in archery and bowhunting. The stabilizer/drawlock device includes an elongated mounting bracket having near its forward end a bolt slot for attaching the bracket to an archery bow's handle, and having intermediate its forward and rearward ends a support for an overdraw arrow rest that permits the arrow rest to be positioned at a selectable distance to the rear of the bow's handle. The device further includes a draw tube attached to the rearward end of the mounting bracket and a draw rod in telescoping engagement with the draw tube. The draw tube can be attached to the bow at a selectable angle or permitted to pivot freely to align with the axis of the arrow between nock point and arrow rest after vertical adjustment to a tuned nocking point. The back end of the draw rod supports a bow string mechanical release.

  • Patent number: 5738256
    Abstract: An adaptable aiming support device includes a waist belt for securing the device to a person's waist. A rigid base plate is affixed to the waist belt and includes a bracket mounted thereon. An extendible and retractable support rod is mounted to and pivotable upon a pivot pin disposed within the bracket. The support rod extends from the bracket and includes a primary tube and a secondary tube in adjustable telescoping engagement with the primary tube. The distal end of the support rod is adapted to receive one of a set of interchangeable endpieces for supporting a device to be aimed (e.g., a gun, a camera, a binocular). A quick release pin mechanism is provided at the distal end to attach/remove a given endpiece (of the set of interchangeable endpieces) thereto/therefrom quickly and easily.
