Abstract
An archery bow riser includes a main riser section and a reinforcing riser section joined to the ends of the main riser section and spaced from the main riser section toward the bow string. Interconnecting members extend between the main and reinforcing riser sections intermediate their lengths so that each section reinforces the other to provide a strong and rigid riser. One interconnecting member preferably constitutes an extension of the lower portion of the sight window and the arrow shelf from the main riser section to the reinforcing riser section to form a built-in overdraw for the riser. The cable guide is mounted on the reinforcing riser section and is vertically positioned closer to the center of the riser than is possible with conventional risers.
Claims15
An archery bow riser comprising:
- an elongate main riser section having opposite ends adapted to have bow limbs attached thereto to extend outwardly therefrom, the main riser section having a handle portion, a sight window, and an arrow shelf intermediate its length;
- a reinforcing riser section attached to and extending between the opposite ends of the main riser section and spaced from the main riser section, said reinforcing riser section being laterally offset from the handle portion of the main riser section;
- and
- at least one connecting member extending between the main riser section and the reinforcing riser section intermediate their lengths so that each section reinforces the other.
An archery bow riser comprising:
- an elongate main riser section having opposite ends adapted to have bow limbs attached thereto to extend outwardly therefrom, the main riser section having a handle portion, a sight window, and an arrow shelf intermediate its length, a portion of the sight window being adjacent the arrow shelf;
- a reinforcing riser section attached to and extending between the opposite ends of the main riser section and spaced from the main riser section, the arrow shelf and the portion of the sight window immediately adjacent the arrow shelf extending from the main riser section to the reinforcing riser section to connect the main riser section and the reinforcing riser section so that each section reinforces the other;
- and
- at least two connecting members extending between the main riser section and the reinforcing riser section intermediate their lengths so that each section reinforces the other.
An archery bow riser comprising:
- an elongate main riser section having opposite ends adapted to have bow limbs attached thereto to extend outwardly therefrom, the main riser section having a handle portion, a sight window, and an arrow shelf intermediate its length;
- a reinforcing riser section attached to and extending between the opposite ends of the main riser section and spaced from the main riser section toward the bow string of the bow and separate from and spaced from the handle portion of the main riser section;
- and
- a connecting member extending between the main riser section and the reinforcing riser section so that each section reinforces the other, the connecting member forming an extension of the arrow shelf and the portion of the sight window immediately adjacent the arrow shelf from the main riser section substantially to the side of the reinforcing riser section toward the bow string to form an overdraw for the riser as an integral part thereof.
