Abstract

An archery bow stand is provided supporting generally wide split-limb archery bows that include first and second limb segments separated by an elongated slot. The bow stand includes identical first and second legs t pivotally connected together such that the inner surface of one leg faces the inner surface of the other leg. First and second upper clamp portions associated with the first and second legs, respectively, extend in opposite directions. The clamp portions are received in the elongate slot between the limb segments so that the clamp portions extend generally parallel therewith. The bow stand is then rotated about a longitudinal axis so that the clamp portions extend perpendicular to the limb segments with an open gap of each clamp portion receiving one of the limb segments to hold the split-limb archery bow in an upright position when not in use.

Dependent claims

A bow stand for supporting an archery bow having a lower split limb portion with first and second limb segments separated by an elongate slot, the bow stand comprising:

at least one leg for supporting the archery bow;
at least one upper clamp portion associated with the at least one leg and including:
an upright clamp section;
a lower clamp section extending perpendicularly from the upright clamp section;
an upper clamp section spaced from the lower clamp section and extending perpendicularly from the upright clamp section;
at least one open gap formed between the upright clamp section, the upper clamp section, and the lower clamp section, the at least one gap being of sufficient height for receiving at least one of the first and second limb segments;
wherein the at least one upper clamp portion is adapted for being positioned in the elongate slot in a first orientation with the upper clamp portion extending parallel with the limb segments, and is rotatable about a vertical axis to a second orientation perpendicular to the first orientation such that the upper clamp section is oriented perpendicular to the first and second limb segments with the at least one open gap receiving at least one of the first and second limb segments to thereby retain the lower split limb portion on the bow stand.
