The present disclosure relates to a compound bow that can be converted between a left handed bow configuration and a right handed bow configuration. The compound bow has pockets that are moveable relative to the riser between a left handed mounting configuration in which left handed sideload compensation is provided and a right handed mounting configuration in which right handed sideload compensation is provided.

Bow convertible between a left handed and a right handed configuration

An axle assembly for a bow. The assembly includes spacers that can be used to adjust the position of a rotatable member axially along an axle that supports the rotatable member. The spacers can each have a snap-on configuration and can be installed and removed from the axle using an installation tool. The rotatable member can be mounted on the axle by a bearing assembly, and the axle assembly can include features for preventing thrust load from being applied to the bearing assembly.

Axle assembly for a bow

A bow (e.g., compound bow, cross bow, etc.) that includes a cable splitter. The cable splitter is easy to install in that it does not require access to the yoke ends of the bow string. The cable splitter is self-anchoring to the cable. In addition, the cable splitter eliminates the need for a separate saddle and separate section of cable. The cable splitter also allows for tuning for cam lean by adding or removing twist in the yoke ends.

A bow energy transfer system includes a pair of helically wound springs positioned on the bowstrings on either side of the bowstring nock point; the springs are secured to the bowstring with a serving thread wound between the individual coils into contact with the bowstring. The springs flex perpendicular to their longitudinal axes during discharge of the bow causing energy to temporarily be stored in the flexed spring to be returned to the arrow or bolt later in its discharge.

Bow energy transfer system and method

A crossbow includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end thereof. The riser supports a pair of flexible limbs, and a bowstring extends between such limbs. A movable bowstring release is used both to retract the bowstring into a drawn position, and to release the bowstring under the operation of a trigger assembly. The bowstring release is initially positioned near the bowstring at rest, and a bowstring hook is engaged therewith. A bowstring retractor includes a retractor rope secured to the bowstring release for retracting the bowstring. An upper housing is secured to the second end of the elongated frame, and supports a rope spool used to wind the retractor rope. The bowstring release is retracted into the upper housing proximate a trigger assembly for selectively releasing the bowstring when a user pulls a trigger.

Release assembly for crossbow

An archery projectile insert is provided with a rigid hollow tube having a collar at one end and an internally threaded bushing at an opposite end wherein the collar and bushing are cemented within the rigid tube; and wherein the three piece insert, formed into a unitary structure, is inserted into the hollow end of an archery shaft and cemented in place. A projectile tip having a shank and a threaded extension threadedly engages the internally threaded bushing to secure the tip in place to the projectile shaft.

Arrow shaft insert

A crossbow has a riser, flexible limbs, a bowstring extending between the tips of the limbs for propelling an arrow, and an elongated frame extending from the riser. A bowstring release proximate the rear end of the elongated frame includes a trigger for releasing the bowstring, and firing an arrow. A first grip is disposed proximate to the trigger for being grasped by the user's first hand. A 'Picatinny' type support rail extends along and below the elongated frame, secured at its rearmost end to the elongated frame, but otherwise spaced therefrom. The support rail can receive fore-grips, a bi-pod, or can be rested against a support surface to help steady the crossbow during firing.

A portable bow press made of three distinct and separable parts. The first two parts contain loop assemblies made of steel wire formed into a U-shaped loop with the two ends connected via a bolt. The third part is a connection cable with S-hooks on either end that hook into the loop elements. The bolts in the loop assemblies are applied through tooling holes in pulleys on the limbs of a compound archery bow. The bow press is applied once the loop assemblies are in place. The limbs can be forced inward by drawing the bowstring creating enough slack for the connection cable to be hooked on either end to the loops. When the bowstring is released, the limbs are held by tension in the cable and loops to a point where they are closer than at brace height. When the bow press is applied, the bowstring is loose and maintenance can be applied to the bow, before disengaging the bow press.

Portable device for servicing a compound bow

A compound archery bow having a riser and first and second limbs secured to and extending from opposite ends of the riser, each limb having an axel to support a wheel or cam; the limbs have a limb tip angle measured from an unstrung or unflexed limb position to a flexed position at brace height of at least 65&#xb0; and preferably 75&#xb0; or more. The bow has an axel-to-axel distance percentage change from an unstrung or unflexed condition to a brace condition of at least 20%. The limbs exhibit a limb tip angle percentage change from brace height to full draw condition of 25% or less of the total limb tip change from unflexed to full draw while the limb tip measured from an unstrung condition to a flexed condition at full draw is at least 80&#xb0; and preferably 100&#xb0; or more.

Compound bow with high limb preload

A crossbow accessory for coupling to a modular lower receiver of a rifle includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end, and coupled above the lower receiver at its second end. An upper housing secured to the second end of the frame includes a rope spool and winding gears for retracting the bowstring toward a drawn position. A rope extends from the rope spool to a bowstring release for retracting the bowstring. The bowstring release is retracted into the upper housing proximate the modular lower receiver for selectively releasing the bowstring when a user pulls the trigger of the lower receiver. A method for creating a crossbow using the modular lower receiver is also disclosed.

Crossbow accessory for lower receiver of rifle and related method

A compound archery bow having a riser and first and second limbs secured to and extending from opposite ends of the riser, each limb having an axle to support a wheel or cam; the limbs have a limb tip angle measured from an unstrung or unflexed limb position to a flexed position at brace height of at least 65&#xb0; and preferably 75&#xb0; or more. The bow has an axle-to-axle distance percentage change from an unstrung or unflexed condition to a brace condition of at least 20%. The limbs exhibit a limb tip angle percentage change from brace height to full draw condition of 25% or less of the total limb tip change from unflexed to full draw while the limb tip measured from an unstrung condition to a flexed condition at full draw is at least 80&#xb0; and preferably 100&#xb0; or more.
