| 20080216804 | Archery bow having improved design to absorb shock reduce vibration - The present invention generally relates to an improved archery bow having a greatly enhanced ability to absorb shock, vibration and sound. In order to achieve improved sound and vibration dampening, the bow riser, and optionally the bow limbs are coated with an energy absorbing and/or dampening coating. The coating is permanently attached to the riser and/or the limbs of the bow and greatly reduces undesired vibrations and/or noise generated by and during the archery bows use, without interfering with the performance of the bow. The invention also relates to treestands and archery accessories having a low noise profile. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080236557 | COMPOUND BOW WITH IMPROVED RISER - A compound bow includes a base member with a longitudinal extent and has first and second ends. The base member is formed from a rigid material and has a grip location between its first and second ends, which provide mounting locations for mounting limbs to the base member. An elastomeric body is applied over, for example by molding, and at least substantially encapsulates the base member over the longitudinal extent. The elastomeric body comprises an elastomeric material, and optionally forms a grip member at the grip portion. | 10-02-2008 |

The Limbs, (or individual limb assemblies), have each two control cable inputs, or paired mounts, one compressive and the other a degenerative stabilizing cross-feedback input; where under draw, the limbs compress by disproportions in pivot about each individual limb, or limb assembly's, riser mounted axis, in response to the stabilizing cross feedback. | 12-11-2014 |
| 20140366858 | Bow With Adjustable Handle - A versatile hunting bow with a circular rotatable handle mounted on a circular frame of the riser of the bow.

The outer wall of the circular handle has a series of parallel thread cuts that match with the thread cuts on the inner wall of the circular frame of the riser. Two limbs are connected and secured to the riser through limb bolts. When limb bolts are tightened, the geometry of the riser and the arrangement of the limbs create tensions that slightly distort the shape of the riser. The distortion prevents the thread cuts from moving along each other. Thus, the handle is no longer able to rotate when the limb bolts are tightened and the handle is locked. | 12-18-2014 |
