Abstract
A sounding device for a bow and arrow which emits a detachable signal when the bow has been drawn to a desired limit for releasing the arrow. The signal device comprises elongated resilient member adjustably positionable on the bow, which is held in tension over the arrow shaft and slidably holds the arrow against a guide rest when the bow is drawn and which is released to abut the guide rest, generating an audible sound when the arrow shaft is drawn beyond it.
