Archery bow vibration dampener

A device for reducing vibration and shock in an archery bow, the device comprising:

• a body having an integrally formed base, the body extending away from the base in a cross-section having a decreasing area;
• and
• a peripheral mass positioned at a distal end of the body resulting in an asymmetric vibration of the device when an arrow is discharged from the archery bow.

A device for reducing vibration and shock in an archery bow, the device comprising:

• a body having an integral base, the body having a non-uniform cross-section across a longitudinal length of the body terminating at a peripheral mass positioned at a distal end of the body, wherein the peripheral mass comprises two or more tabs positioned in generally parallel alignment with a bottom surface of the base.

In combination, a bow which comprises a riser and limbs extending in opposite directions from opposite ends of the riser and an elastomeric polymer component operatively associated with each of the limbs for modifying the decay pattern of the vibrations set up in the limbs of the bow when an arrow is released, an improvement comprising:

• the elastomeric polymer forming a body and a base, the body having a non-uniform cross-section across a longitudinal length of the body terminating at a peripheral mass positioned at a distal end of the body.

An archery bow having a system for reducing vibration and shock comprising:

• a mount positioned on a limb of the archery bow;
• a device connected to the mount, the device having a base and a body with a non-uniform cross-section as the body extends away from the base and a peripheral mass positioned on a portion of the body opposite the base, wherein the peripheral mass comprises at least one tab positioned in generally parallel alignment with a bottom surface of the base.
