Abstract
A dual arrow overdraw system for drawing and releasing two arrows at once. Rotatable rollers are used to reduce the friction when the two arrows are released through the system. An adjustment mechanism permits variable overdraw of the arrows according to the needs of the archer. The flight path of each arrow is independently controllable by means of adjusting the relative location of the rotatable rollers.
Claims18
A dual arrow draw system for shooting two arrows at once, said system comprising:
- an archery bow;
- an arrow guide attached to said bow, said guide adapted to guide two arrows at the same time, said guide including two roller members with peripheries spaced apart a distance greater than the diameter of an arrow, each roller member adapted to separately support an arrow in position for simultaneous release, independent from the other roller member.
- The following is an Examiner's Statement of Reasons for Allowance:
- The type of rest shown by Gunter requires a single arrow to be supported by two rollers in cooperation with each other. The type of rest shown by Corley shows an arrow supported by a single roller, but there is no suggestion that a second roller could be added to support an additional arrow simultaneously in shooting position.
A dual arrow overdraw rest for use in connection with a bow having a bowstring, said arrow rest comprising:
- an elongate bracket member having a front end and rear end, said front end attached to said bow, said rear end extending toward the bowstring;
- a pair of roller members vertically spaced apart from each other, one of said pair of roller members rotatably attached to said rear end of said bracket member;
- and
- adjustable spacing means to control the distance between said pair of rollers for controlling arrow targeting, said spacing means including a support rotatably attached to said bracket member, the other of said pair of rollers rotatably attached to said support, whereby relative spacing between said pair of rollers is altered by rotating said support.
A dual arrow draw system for shooting two arrows at once, said system comprising:
- an archery bow;
- an arrow guide adapted to guiding two arrows at the same time, said guide including a mounting bracket having a forward end and a rear end, said forward end attached to said bow, said rear end of said mounting bracket extending rearwardly away from said bow, a pair of vertically spaced parallel shafts attached to said rear end of said mounting bracket, and a roller rotatably attached to each said shaft whereby two arrows may be drawn and released from said bow simultaneously.
