Abstract
A modular archery bow riser which is machined to accept an adjustable wrist brace, adjustable thumb grip and finger caps. The forward surface of the riser includes a number of finger channels and accepts alternative finger caps having different finger grooving. An aft surface accepts a semi-circular bracket which supports a pivoting upright wrist brace arm. The position of the brace arm is determined with set screws fitted between a slot at the bracket and brace and between telescoping extensions of an alternative brace arm. A horizontal shelf mounts to a side wall of the riser and an adjustable vertical stop mounts to the shelf to support the thumb.
Claims18
A handle for an archery bow having a bow string comprising:
- a) a riser shaped to provide a recessed hand grip region beneath an arrow support shelf;
- b) wrist brace means comprising a bracket secured to said riser and having a brace arm which projects substantially parallel to the bow string and which arm is supported to pivot at an adjustment plate of said bracket between first and second limits defined by said adjustment plate;
- and
- c) means for fixing said brace arm to said adjustment plate at a preferred rotation, whereby the brace arm can be adjusted to displace an archer's wrist lateral of a travel path of the bow string and control an archer's gripping of the hand grip.
A handle for an archery bow having a bow string comprising:
- a) a riser shaped to provide a recessed hand grip region beneath an arrow support shelf;
- b) wrist brace means secured to said riser comprising a brace arm which projects substantially parallel to the bow string and which brace arm is secured to a bracket having an arcuate slot, and wherein said brace arm pivots about the slot;
- and
- c) means for fixing a preferred rotation of said brace arm, whereby the brace arm can be adjusted to displace an archer's wrist lateral of a travel path of the bow string and control an archer's gripping of the hand grip.
A handle for an archery bow having a bow string comprising:
- a) a riser shaped to provide a recessed hand grip region beneath an arrow support shelf, wherein finger cap means having a plurality of depressions, which receive individual fingers, mounts to a forward surface of said hand grip region;
- b) thumb rest means including a shelf which projects substantially orthogonal to a sidewall of said riser;
- c) wrist brace means secured to said riser comprising a brace arm which projects substantially parallel to the bow string and which brace arm is secured to a bracket having an arcuate slot, and wherein said brace arm pivots about the slot;
- and
- d) means for fixing a preferred rotation of said brace arm, whereby the brace arm can be adjusted to displace an archer's wrist lateral of a travel path of the bow string and control an archer's gripping of the hand grip.
A handle for an archery bow having a bow string comprising:
- a) a riser shaped to provide a recessed hand grip region beneath an arrow support shelf;
- b) wrist brace means secured to said riser comprising a brace arm which projects substantially parallel to the bow string and rotates about a pivot axis at the riser;
- c) thumb rest means for supporting a thumb to the handle and wherein said thumb rest means includes a shelf which projects substantially orthogonal to a side wall of said handle and further includes stop means fitted to the shelf to constrain the thumb to the shelf;
- and
- d) means for fixing a preferred rotation of said brace arm, whereby the brace arm can be adjusted to displace an archer's wrist lateral of a travel path of the bow string and control an archer's gripping of the hand grip.
