Abstract
Shooting accuracy in archery may be greatly improved by increasing the precision and repeatability in which an archer establishes “anchor points,” which are contact points between the archer and a drawn bow and arrow at a moment of launch. One such contact point is the hand gripping the bow grip. The invention provides a bow grip aid which enables an archer to repeatably grip the same location of the bow grip and maintain consistent grip firmness from one shot to the next. Reducing variances of this aspect of the archer's form benefits the archer by reducing variances between the archer's sighting process and determination of point of aim, and the impact point of the arrow on its target. The invention helps archers grip a bow more consistently so they can consistently place each arrow where they want it to go.

- a solid defining a closed contour lying within said midplane,
- a first projection contour extending orthogonally to said midplane, said closed contour further comprising
- an apex
- an adjacent spline extending from said apex and lying within said midplane, and
- a hypotenuse spline extending from said apex and lying within said midplane, with said solid further comprising
- a first edge passing through said apex,
- an adjacent surface extending from said first edge along said adjacent spline,
- a hypotenuse surface extending from said first edge along said hypotenuse spline, and
- a protuberance positioned below a top portion of the hypotenuse spline and on the bow grip aid, wherein the protuberance is pointed, and wherein a tip of the protuberance is configured to engage a palm of a gripping hand of an archer while holding an archery bow grip with an attached bow grip aid in a shooting position.
