Abstract: An improved adjustable anchor tab is provided which includes a tab positioning assembly secured to the body member of the tab. Tab positioning assembly includes a rotatable wheel in one embodiment and includes a rotatable cylinder in another embodiment. The rotatable wheel of the first embodiment rotatably engages the lower inner side of the archer's mandible when in the anchor point. In the second embodiment, the roller extends at an angle with respect to the support upon which it is mounted.

Abstract: An outsert includes an elongated tubular member having forward, central and rearward sections, for connecting an arrow shaft to an attachment for the arrow. The outsert rearward section has a cylindrical rearward bore with a diameter greater than the outer diameter of the arrow shaft for receiving the forward end of the arrow shaft therein. The outsert rearward section also includes a tapered bore extending forwardly from the rearward bore, the tapered bore having a decreasing diameter such that the forward end of the arrow shaft contacts the tapered bore between the forward and rearward ends of the tapered bore. The outer surface of the rearward section of the outsert is tapered and receives a ferrule for crimping the rearward section of the outward into contact with the arrow shaft to assure coaxial alignment of the outsert with the arrow shaft.

Abstract: An arrow insert dimensioned and configured for engagement in a hollow arrow shaft having a cylindrically shaped wall of a predetermined inner and outer diameter disposed about a longitudinal axis. The insert includes a cylindrical insert body of a first diameter adapted to be disposed within one end of the arrow shaft. An enlarged shoulder on one end of the insert body is provided for preventing the insert body from sliding too far into the arrow shaft.

Abstract: A marksmanship target presenting a plurality of targets to view by competing marksmen. When a marksman's missile strikes a target on a side of a shield assigned to him, that target shifts to his opponent's side. Each target is provided with a cushion adapted to strike a plate, thereby damping movement and preventing rebound of the struck target. Each target is integrally formed with a narrow, forwardly extending lip and several annularly spaced, shock absorbing ribs secured to a marginal edge of the target and connecting the target to a support arm.
