An archery bow sight is provided including an adjuster having a homing pin indexed within a homing slot to prevent a sight housing from free spinning with a round elongated arm in a round arm hole of the adjuster when the adjuster is operated by a user to move the sight housing relative to a mounting bracket. The adjuster can include a dial that interacts with threads on the elongated arm, which can cover a large portion of the arm and provide additional adjustability. The adjuster can include an adjustment control having a shaft that engages the homing pin forcibly with the homing slot and arm to lock the arm in a fixed position relative to the bracket in a lock mode. A related method of use is also provided.

An archery release can include a release body, one or more calipers or jaws defining a bowstring notch, the jaws pivotally joined with a release body, and a trigger moveable between a hold mode to hold a bowstring and a release mode to release the bowstring. The release can include first and second magnets that exert a magnetic repelling force on one another, thereby causing the trigger to automatically reset to the hold mode, whereby the calipers or jaws reset to a closed position, optionally without the aid of any mechanical spring or other biasing element. The first and second magnets can be offset from one another to urge the trigger to move laterally relative to a longitudinal axis of the release, and thereby open the jaws or calipers. A related method of use is provided.

Archery release and related method of use

An archery release is provided in the form of a back tension archery release having an adjustable pawl which includes a paddle that can be selectively engaged by an adjuster element, for example a fastener, to set a release point of the release. The pawl can be selectively rotatable about a pivot axis by engaging the adjuster element against a surface of the paddle, which paddle can project away from the pivot axis a first distance to provide a lever that the adjuster element can act against. The release can include a second adjuster element opposing the first and engaging an opposite side of the paddle to cooperate with the other one and further secure the paddle and thus the pawl in a fixed location to set the release point.

An archery release is provided including a multi-bar linkage that extends from a trigger button, through a handle, an arm, and a release head, to a sear having a bowstring notch, where the linkage can be used to both set the release to a set mode and a release mode. In the set mode, the sear is nonrotatable about a sear axis and configured so a bowstring is retained in the bowstring notch. In the release mode, the sear is rotatable about the sear axis, so the bowstring can be released from the bowstring notch. The housing can define a compartment, and the bar linkage can snake through the compartment. A bias element can urge the linkage to press a tip of the sear against the housing in the set mode. When the linkage is moved, it disengages the sear, converting it to the release mode.

An archery release is provided including a digit extension attached to a handle via a spindle connection that facilitates configuration of the extension in multiple, set, nonrotatable orientations relative to the handle to fulfill an archer's preferences. The handle can include an arm that extends to a release head having a sear defining a bowstring notch. The spindle connection can join the handle and digit extension, and can include a spindle post having multiple ridges, and a spindle recess having multiple valleys configured to receive corresponding ones of the ridges to prevent rotation of the digit extension relative to the handle in a registration mode. In an adjustment mode, the digit extension and part of the spindle connection can be removed, rotated and replaced relative to another part of the spindle connection to adjust the position of the extension to an archer's preferences.

The present invention provides an expandable broadhead in which the inner surface of the blades contacts a band on the ferrule. The ferrule includes forward blade stops to securely align the blades in a closed position. The ferrule also includes rearward blade stops to securely align the blades in a fully deployed position. The blades can easily rotate to the fully deployed position when the broadhead contacts and penetrates a target. The kinetic energy used to deploy the blades is reduced given the angle of the blades and the angle of rotation of the blades.

Expandable broadhead

An archery release including a release head, a wrist strap, a flexible connector between the head and strap, and a mounting base including a fastener that at least partially pierces the flexible connector and/or compresses the flexible connector against the mounting base to secure the flexible connector in a fixed position relative to the wrist strap. The mounting base and fastener facilitate secure adjustment of the length of the flexible connector between the wrist strap and the release head to thereby fit the stature of the archer. An archery release also is provided including a release head having a trigger stop post disposed in a trigger well and configured to impair or arrest movement of the trigger without the trigger engaging the material of the head.

An archery release including a release body, a wrist strap and a rigid length adjuster which enables multiple levels of adjustment to the distance between the wrist strap and the release body. The adjuster can be rotatable about two axes perpendicular to one another. The adjuster can include a connector that fixes the rotational orientation or the adjuster about the first axis. The adjuster can be rotated from an extended mode to a storage mode about the second axis. The adjuster can be further rotated about the first axis to engage an exterior contour of the adjuster against a ring associate with the wrist strap. This in turn arrests movement of the adjuster relative to the ring and strap, so the release body is in a stowed position proximate the wrist strap when the archery release is not in use. A method also is provided for operating an archery release.

An archery release is provided in the form of a back tension archery release having at least one of a micro adjustable moon pawl, a locking axle pin and/or a solid handle. The micro adjustable moon pawl can define detents or recesses. A fastener joined with an arm of the release can have an end that selectively engages a particular detent and prevents rotation of the pawl to thereby set a release point of the release. The locking axle pin can be an axle with first and second ends and a threaded intermediate portion that engages threaded holes in an arm of the release to secure the arms a fixed distance from one another, while the ends can allow the hood to freely rotate about them. The solid handle can extend between an archer's digits, and can be void of any internal holes therein.

A hybrid archery release including a release body pivotally joined with a roller defining a roller axis, a wrist strap, and a flexible tether extending between and joining the roller and the wrist strap. The release body can be a back tension release body and can have a body including a handle, and the release body can selectively rotate about the roller axis when the handle is engaged by an archer so that the release releases a bowstring held thereby upon such selective rotation. The release also can be configured to remain in a cocked mode as the release is used to draw a bowstring. A method also is provided for drawing and releasing a bowstring with the assistance of the hybrid release.

An archery release including release body, a trigger and a trigger bumper, where the trigger bumper reduces or eliminates noise generated by the trigger being actuated from a holding mode to a triggered mode. The trigger bumper can be constructed from an elastomeric material adapted to deaden noise upon impact with the trigger. The trigger bumper can be joined with the release body and/or the trigger.

An archery release including a release body, a wrist strap and a hybrid adjuster including both a rigid length adjuster and a flexible length adjuster which enable multiple levels of adjustment to the distance between the wrist strap and the release body. An archery release also is provided including a release body, a wrist strap and a retainer element configured to engage and secure the release body in a stowed position proximate the wrist strap when the archery release is not in use. A method also is provided for operating an archery release including the retainer element to stow the release body.
