Abstract: Friendly fire archery bow, is the solution for the archery bow hunter to remain undetected while shooting at game animals. Or being detected without being recognized as the enemy. This archery accessory is a way to disguise the noise an archery bow makes when fired. The scope of this product is to make an artificial sound that is non threatening to game animals when the archery bow is fired. Or an added bonus is to call or attract more game animals while attempting to harvest the present animals. Edward Flanagan shows three examples of how this can be accomplished. One is the bellow type animal call (12) FIG. 1 activated by bow limb (28) movement when the bow (10) is fired. The call could be crow, turkey, squirrel, deer, fox, duck, and rabbit squealer etcetera. The second is a bellow type animal call FIG. 2 (46) activated by compound archery bow cable movement. The third is a air pump activated animal call FIG. 3 (62) that functions when the bow is fired.

Abstract: A system comprised of a retractable spring loaded braided cable in a casing. When the casing of the Stabilizer is mounted to the front and middle of the handle of the bow and the end of the braided cable clamped to the archers pants or belt loop. The motion up and down when aiming the bow will cause friction between the braided cable and the small hole in the casing. With this friction and restriction of movement is a more stable shot when releasing the arrow.

Abstract: A pneumatic tube that is secured to the bow and bowstring with an arrow and piston inside for safe drawing and firing of an archery bow. When the archer looses the string and it drives the arrow forward, the piston creates pneumatic air resistance like a hand operated bicycle pump. This resistance is sufficient to prevent damage to the bow and/or its components from loosing the string without an actual arrow on the string. Normal loosing the string without an arrow on it is called “dry-firing” and would damage the bow and/or its components. This tube is attached to a bracket that is affixed to a mounting block that can be fastened to the front of the bow at the standard stabilizer mounting hole. There is also a laser mounted in the end of the tube, which can be turned on by the archer and projects a laser light on the target. This light is automatically turned off as the bow is fired, thus showing the archer exactly where an actual arrow would have hit.
