  • Patent number: 4876817
    Abstract: An archery bow-mountable blind is provided which effectively camouflages the movements of the archer, bowstring, and arrow as the bow is being drawn while providing sufficiently clear observation of the target for accurate aiming. The preferred apparatus includes a sheet of camouflage material, a pair of support members for supporting the sheet therebetween, and a pair of attachment straps for coupling the support members to a bow. The camouflage sheet has a plurality of cuts defined therethrough forming a corresponding plurality of flaps and openings. The flaps simulate foliage thereby enhancing the camouflage effect of the apparatus and the openings provide clear observation of the target. The preferred support members are shiftable between extended positions in which the members are generally transverse to the bow's long axis and collapsed positions in which the members are generally aligned with the bow's long axis.
