## Abstract

An archery bow comprises a structural riser that comprises a plurality of cells defined between structural rails and connecting members. In some embodiments, a central longitudinal axis of the riser is oriented midway between the rails. In some embodiments, a first plurality of cells are aligned along the central longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, connecting member intersections are aligned upon the central longitudinal axis.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bow comprising:
a riser;
first and second limbs; and
a bowstring extending between said limbs;
wherein said riser comprises a first rail, a second rail and a plurality of connecting members that define a plurality of cells, said riser having a plurality of connecting member intersections, each connecting member intersection aligned upon a riser central longitudinal axis that is located midway between the first rail and the second rail.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The bow of claim 1, wherein said cells comprise a plurality of first cells, each first cell having a similar size and shape, said first cells aligned upon said central longitudinal axis.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The bow of claim 2, comprising at least 12 first cells.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The bow of claim 2, each first cell comprising a first pair of opposed corners that are aligned upon said central longitudinal axis.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The bow of claim 4, wherein each first cell comprises a second pair of opposed corners that define a cell axis oriented orthogonal to said central longitudinal axis.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The bow of claim 5, wherein said cell axis intersects a junction between at least one connecting member and a rail.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The bow of claim 2, wherein said cells further comprise a plurality of second cells, each second cell shaped differently from each first cell.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The bow of claim 7, wherein each second cell has fewer sides than each first cell.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The bow of claim 7, wherein each second cell is bounded by one of said rails.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The bow of claim 1, wherein a first connecting member and a second connecting member extend from opposite sides of an intersection, the first connecting member being nonparallel to the second connecting member.
