20100083943 | CABLE GUARD AND GUIDES FOR ARCHERY BOWS - An archery bow includes a cable guard and an optional cable guide that holds a cable of the bow away from a plane in which a bowstring of the bow moves. The cable guard can define a bore, through which the cable is positioned, extending generally parallel to the bowstring when the bowstring is in an undrawn state. The cable guard bore can include a rounded opening to minimize abrasion to the cable. The cable guide can include a ceramic element having a rounded surface to minimize abrasion to the cable. The ceramic element can be included in an immovable or stationary cable guide, as well as an alternative cable guide including moving components, to engage and hold the cable away from the bowstring, while minimizing abrasion and/or friction on the cable. | 04-08-2010 |

20100154769 | ARCHERY STRING NOCK - A speed nock for use with an archery bow includes a first enlarged portion and a second enlarged portion connected via a central portion. The central portion has a maximum dimension smaller than maximum dimensions of the first and second enlarged portions. The central portion is positioned between strands of a bowstring of the bow so that the strands pinch the central portion, at least assisting in holding the speed nock in place along the bowstring. The speed nock can be moved along the bowstring to a selected location that maximizes energy imparted to an arrow shot from the archery bow, and thus the speed of the arrow. A related method of using the speed nock above is also provided. | 06-24-2010 |
20100319669 | BOWSTRING SUPPRESSOR - A bowstring suppressor for an archery bow including a suppressor assembly and/or a bowstring attachment element. The assembly can include a housing within which resilient elastomeric elements are located. A push rod can be telescopically joined with the housing and located near the resilient elements. An engagement element can be joined with the push rod and can be engaged by a bowstring when an arrow is shot from the bow. The push rod can move toward the resilient elements and compress them when the bowstring engages the engagement element. Compression of the resilient elements provides energy absorption, vibration absorption and/or dampening in relation to energy generated by the bow. A string attachment element can be joined with the bowstring and can engage the suppressor assembly, with the attachment element seating in and optionally deforming the engagement element, which in turn, restrains lateral and vertical movement of the bowstring. | 12-23-2010 |
20110011385 | CABLE GUARD AND GUIDES FOR ARCHERY BOWS - An archery bow is provided including a cable guard and/or cable guide that can flex to selectively move a cable relative to a plane in which a bowstring of the bow travels to minimize cam lean, limb twist, and/or cable wear. The cable guard and/or guide can move toward the bowstring plane as the bowstring is drawn, and away from the bowstring plane, out of the way of the bowstring and any attached arrow, after the bowstring is released. The cable guard can define a bore, for example, an elongated bore, extending through it along an axis that is generally parallel to the bowstring when the bowstring is undrawn. The cable guard bore can operate as a cable guide, and can include a rounded opening to minimize abrasion to a cable moving through it. A ceramic element can be included in the bore to minimize abrasion to the cable. | 01-20-2011 |
20120272939 | CABLE GUARD AND GUIDES FOR ARCHERY BOWS - An archery bow is provided including a cable guard and/or cable guide including a cable facing surface which can include an e-coat film to minimize wear and abrasion on a cable, bowstring or other element that engages the surface. The cable guard and/or cable guide can flex to selectively move a cable relative to a plane in which a bowstring of the bow travels to minimize cam lean, limb twist, and/or cable wear. The cable guard and/or guide can move toward the bowstring plane as the bowstring is drawn, and away from the bowstring plane, out of the way of the bowstring and any attached arrow, after the bowstring is released. The cable guard can define a bore, for example, an elongated bore. The cable guard bore can operate as a cable guide, and can include a rounded opening to minimize abrasion to a cable moving through it. | 11-01-2012 |

A ceramic element can be included in the bore to minimize abrasion to the cable. | 08-22-2013 |
20140216212 | TORQUE WRENCH FOR ARCHERY BROADHEADS AND FASTENERS - A tool for archery broadheads or other fasteners is provided including an engagement end having an aperture, socket or drive feature to accommodate the broadhead or engage a fastener. The tool is constructed at least partially from an elastomeric material. Upon application of a moment to the tool by a user, part of the tool deforms or twists so that indicia elements move relative to one another and output torque or moment information to a user based on the spatial orientation of the indicia elements relative to one another. | 08-07-2014 |
20150267998 | ILLUMINATED AIMING DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS - An aiming device including a thermoelectric module, a light source and a sight element. The thermoelectric module generates electricity from a thermal gradient, produced from a user's body heat that is transferred to the module. The electricity powers the light source. The light source illuminates a sight element of a projectile shooting device to enhance visibility of the sight element in a variety of ambient lighting conditions, optionally in low light conditions. The aiming device can be mounted to a projectile shooting device. With the aiming device, a user can selectively illuminate a sight element of a projectile shooting device, with the user's own body heat, to assist aiming the projectile shooting device during a shooting activity. The projectile shooting device can be any type of archery bow and/or firearm. Related methods are also provided. | 09-24-2015 |
