  • Patent number: 10094638
    Abstract: An aiming device including a thermoelectric module, a light source and a sight element. The thermoelectric module generates electricity from a thermal gradient, produced from a user's body heat that is transferred to the module. The electricity powers the light source. The light source illuminates a sight element of a projectile shooting device to enhance visibility of the sight element in a variety of ambient lighting conditions, optionally in low light conditions. The aiming device can be mounted to a projectile shooting device. With the aiming device, a user can selectively illuminate a sight element of a projectile shooting device, with the user's own body heat, to assist aiming the projectile shooting device during a shooting activity. The projectile shooting device can be any type of archery bow and/or firearm. Related methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150184972
    Abstract: A drop away arrow rest including an arrow support arm and a reset button operable to convert the rest from a first mode, in which a shaft is rotationally fixed relative to the support arm, to a second mode, in which the shaft is rotationally decoupled relative to the support arm. The reset button can be manually moveable to convert the rest from the first mode in which the support arm can be in a rest position, to the second mode in which the support arm can be in the support position. The rest can include a reset bias member that selectively moves the shaft, and a support arm bias member that selectively moves the support arm to the support position and/or the rest position. The rest can include containment arms to offer full, surrounding arrow containment. A readily replaceable bumper can join with the support arm and/or containment arms.
