Bow string finger guard

A finger guard assembly adapted for attachment to a bow string for protectively cushioning bow-drawing fingers of an archer against objectionable localized finger pressures produced during gripping and pulling of a bow string in drawing a bow, said finger guard assembly including;

• two separate flexible and resilient spool-like sleeves each formed with a through longitudinally extending axial bore sized to receive therethrough and thereby frictionally to grip a bow string threaded through said sleeves,
• when positioned on a bow string said sleeves being frictionally secured longitudinally of one another on a bow string as upper and lower sleeves, adjacent spaced ends of respective said sleeves generally demarcating an arrow nocking zone therebetween,
• said sleeves each being substantially tubular in form with opposite ends of each being radially enlarged annularly to define finger stops, thereby to ensure correct longitudinal positioning of fingers gripping said sleeves and to enhance retention of proper finger positions during drawing of the bow string,
• arrow nock abutment means for bracketing and confining an arrow therebetween upon insertion of the arrow nock into the nocking zone between said sleeves, and spacer means interposed between said arrow nock abutment means and said finger stops, adjacent said spaced ends of respective said sleeves to separate said abutment means from said finger stops,
• said arrow nock abutment means and said spacer means constituting integral longitudinally coaxial extensions of said sleeves disposed at adjacent said spaced ends thereof to delineate the arrow nocking zone therebetween.
