Abstract: An archery bow having a central interconnecting member or bow riser with a generally horizontal hand-grip to be grasped by the archer's bow-supporting hand, and upper and lower oppositely extending coaxial bow limb attachment arms. An upper resilient bow limb is secured at its proximal end to the distal end of the upper bow limb attachment arm, a lower resilient bow limb is secured at its proximal end to the distal end of the lower bow limb attachment arm and a bow string interconnects the distal ends of the resilient upper and lower bow limbs. the hand-grip is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bow string and substantially laterally centered on the longitudinal axis of the bow string.
