20120125308 | Bow Stabilizing and Shock Dampening Systems and Methods - Bow stabilizer assemblies according to various embodiments may comprise, for example: (1) an elongated housing that is adapted to be selectively attached to a bow; and (2) a plurality of dampener supports that are adapted so that, when the bow stabilizer is attached to the bow, each dampener support maintains a respective dampener in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the bow. In various embodiments, the dampener supports are adapted to maintain the dampeners different distances away from a portion of the bow (e.g., the bow's front surface). In particular embodiments, the dampeners may be selectively removed and replaced (e.g., with dampeners of different sizes and/or shapes) without tools. This may allow users to quickly change the configuration and dampening attributes of the bow stabilizing and shock dampening assembly assemblies while the bow stabilizing and shock dampening assembly remains attached to the bow. | 05-24-2012 |
20120125309 | Bow Stabilizing Systems and Methods - A bow stabilizing and shock dampening assembly that, in various embodiments, comprises: (1) one or more dampener supports; (2) a support structure for supporting the one or more dampener supports; and (3) an attachment mechanism that is adapted for selectively attaching the bow stabilizing and shock dampening assembly to a bow. In particular embodiments, the support structure extends between the dampener support and the attachment mechanism, and each dampener support is adapted to maintain a respective dampener in a plane that is at least substantially parallel to a central axis of the bow stabilizing and shock dampening assembly. | 05-24-2012 |
20120125310 | Bow Stabilizing Systems and Methods - A weapon stabilizing and shock dampening assembly according to various embodiments comprises: (1) a dampener support; (2) an elongated housing that is adapted for supporting the dampener support; and (3) an attachment mechanism that is adapted for selectively attaching the elongated housing adjacent a weapon (e.g., a bow). The dampener support may be attached (e.g., slideably attached) adjacent the elongated housing so that a user may selectively move (e.g., slide) the dampener support relative to the elongated housing to thereby adjust a distance between the weapon and a dampener that is supported by the dampener support. | 05-24-2012 |
20120152222 | Rotating Archery Arrow Rest - An arrow rest for a bow, according to various embodiments, comprises (1) an arrow rest mount, (2) an arrow rest base that is disposed adjacent the arrow rest mount, (3) a first arrow support that is disposed adjacent a top surface of said arrow rest base and that is defined by a first base potion with a first ramped face and a first angled top portion, and (4) a second arrow support that is disposed adjacent a top surface of said arrow rest base and that is defined by a second base potion with a second ramped face and a second angled top portion. The first and second arrow supports are adapted to rotate to exert opposing lateral forces on an arrow at substantially the same time that facilitate the movement of the arrow up the first and second ramped faces and into a ready to fire position. | 06-21-2012 |
20130139798 | Arrow Rest Locking Mechanisms - An arrow rest for a bow, according to various embodiments, comprises ( | 06-06-2013 |
20130139799 | Arrow Rests With Brushes - A launcher for a bow, according to various embodiments, comprises (1) a base, (2) at least one brush that is disposed on the base and defines an arrow support surface, and (3) a linking mechanism between the bow and the base. The linking mechanism is adapted to move the launcher from a first position to a second, ready-to-fire position, and the launcher is adapted to lift an arrow when moving from the first position to the second, ready-to-fire position. The brush may, for example, serve as a support surface for an arrow being fired from the bow. | 06-06-2013 |
20140083403 | Arrow Rests with Adjustable Brushes - An arrow rest for supporting an arrow on an archery bow. In various embodiments, the arrow rest includes a body and a plurality of brushes that are rotatably mounted to the body. The brushes define an aperture through which the arrow's shaft extends when the arrow is in a launching position. Each brush is adapted to allow a user to rotate the brush between first and second positions in which different outer surfaces of the brush engage and support the arrow. This allows a user to support the arrow with fresh bristles without replacing the brushes. | 03-27-2014 |
20140174420 | Auto Arrow Rest - An arrow rest for supporting an arrow on an archery bow. In various embodiments, the arrow rest includes an over-center spring that is operatively coupled to a body of the arrow rest and a rotatable cam received in the arrow rest body. The rotatable cam is rotationally fixed to an arrow launcher. The over-center spring biases the arrow launcher into a first loading position when the spring is in a first position on one side of a central axis about which the cam rotates, and into a second launching position when the spring moves to an opposite side of the cam central axis. A release mechanism is configured to move the arrow launcher from the second, launching position to the first, loading position when an arrow is fired from the bow, but will not move the arrow launcher to the first, loading position if the bow is let down. | 06-26-2014 |
