## Abstract

In an archery bow, mechanically coupled means that transversely overlay and clamp onto opposed faces at an outer section of a bow limb onto opposed faces at an outer section of a bow limb to inhibit vibration, twisting and splitting of such limbs and a hook element extending from an outer one of the means for supporting the bow by suspension.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A compound archery bow having, at a longitudinally outer limb section, a conventional crotch configuration that is the inner terminus of a pulley supporting fork structure, means to effect uniform distribution of stresses and to inhibit longitudinal splitting, vibrations and twisting about the longitudinal and transverse axes of the limb and said means to effect and inhibit being structurally compounded for appurtenance purposes, said means comprising:
an open-ended slotted bar that is threaded at its open end and operatively associates with the limb in a close sliding fit transverse to the limb's axis, the bar overlying in part exactly the inner terminus of said crotch and being retained on said limb by a threaded nut, and
a hook element extending from said bar, whereby the bow is adapted to be supported by suspension.
