An archery bow handle or riser, in which the riser is cut out sufficiently to permit a broad head arrowhead to pass rearwardly of the hand grip section, and upon release of the arrow, to avoid interference with the riser by both the broad head point as well as the vanes at the rear portion of the arrow is disclosed. Provision is made beneath the riser sight window offset to mount an arrow rest, which may interlock into a cutout, and which extends somewhat further offset in order to position the arrow on the centerline of the bow so that it will behave as an arrow fired with a prior-art type bow handle riser, but accommodating a shorter arrow with a broad head, and avoiding the frictional and deflecting contact of the vanes with the riser. Vane deflection may be a problem with any length arrow and any type of arrow head used on a bow without the sight window offset feature as set forth in the present invention.
A bow handle for use with an overdraw arrow support having means for supporting an arrow with an arrowhead and vanes in an overdraw configuration, said handle having a hand grip, an upper limb mount, a lower limb mount and a pair of limbs, a bow string between the ends of said limbs, said bow string as drawn defining a bow string plane, said handle comprising,
For use with an archery bow having a pair of limbs, a handle, said handle having a hand grip, an upper limb mount and a lower limb mount, a bow string between the ends of said limbs, said bow string as drawn defining a bow string plane for use with an overdrawn arrow with an arrowhead and vanes,
An archery bow handle having a hand grip and upper and lower limb mount portions for use with an archery bow and arrow in which said arrow has vanes and a broadhead point;
