20080210211 | BOW-LEX-A archery bow mounted clock and compass attachment - 1. The BOW-LEX archery bow, time piece (clock) and compass bracket attachment consists of the following: A bracket constructed of but not limited to any metal, plastic, carbon fiber or co-polymers which attaches to a archery bow riser through a 7/16 hole in the bracket using a bolt, screw or other attachments such as but not limited to stabilizers, vibration aids, wrist strap or string slide to sandwich the BOW-LEX bracket between the bow riser and the attachment such as mentioned. | 09-04-2008 |
20080216807 | Archery arrow rest - A fall-away archery arrow rest includes a pair of spaced arrow gripping launcher arms, at least portions of which may be constructed from an elastically deformable material, such as PTFE (TEFLON trademark), plastic, or spring steel such that the arms flex apart slightly upon insertion of an arrow. The launcher arms are mounted upon a rotatable launcher head biased by a spring to move the launcher arms forwardly and downwardly upon release of an arrow supported between the launcher arms. The launcher arms may include juxtaposed notch portions to engage an arrow shaft in a centered alignment between the arms. The launcher arms may include crossed portions, a V-shaped configuration, or substantially straight arms disposed in a generally parallel relation. The arrow rest includes a mounting block system which allows independent vertical and lateral adjustment of the launcher arm position within the bow window. Additional mechanisms allow independent adjustment of the rotatable launcher head spring bias tension and also angular adjustment of the launcher arm angle. In use, an archer nocks an arrow to a bow string and rotates the launcher head rearwardly, positioning the launcher arm upright in the bow window. The archer positions the arrow shaft between the launcher arms, such that the arrow will be held in position by the launcher arms. The archer then draws the bow, which causes the arrow shaft to slide rearwardly between the launcher arms. When the archer releases the arrow, the initial forward motion of the arrow causes the arrow shaft to separate from engagement with the launcher arms, thereby liberating the arrow and allowing the rotatable launcher head to rotate forwardly by virtue of the spring bias, causing the attached launcher arms to rotate forwardly and downwardly away from the arrow's flight path, thus providing completely unimpeded clearance for the arrow fletching and vanes. | 09-11-2008 |
