Offset riser structure for archery bows

Abstract

An offset riser for an archery bow has an upper end and a lower end each having limb attachment points, wherein a central plane laterally divides the bow through the upper and lower limb attachment points. The riser has a handle portion positioned between the upper end and the lower end and a front strut extending from the upper end to the handle portion, wherein the front strut has a front sight window portion that is offset from the central plane. A rear strut extends from the upper end to the handle portion as well, and it has a rear sight window portion that is offset from the central plane. In this riser, the front sight window portion has a different vertical location of transition lateral to the central plane than the rear sight window portion. This may produce increased stiffness, better visibility, less vibration, and other desirable characteristics.
