Abstract

An accessory mount for removable rigid securement of an accessory to a bow is disclosed. In one version, an accessory mount is integrally formed in the outer side face of the bow and provides for the mounting of a bow quiver, a sight for the archer to use in aiming, an overdraw mechanism, or other accessory. More specifically, the mount includes a recess and is defined by a bottom wall of a shallow depth and a pair of horizontal spaced sidewalls and a front wall. The front wall of the recess includes a pair of rectilinear walls extending forwardly and joined at an angle, preferably obtuse, thereby creating a wedge shape having an apex point. The accessory to be mounted includes a corresponding wedge-shaped shoe for fitting into the recess. Threaded fasteners securely engage the shoe in the recess. In alternative versions, male and female interlocking members are provided respectively on the accessory and the archery bow. What is critical is that they be essentially planar in their mating engagement, and have sufficient points to lock the same against rotation in any direction, coupled with screws for removably securing the accessory to the bow.
