Abstract
An archer's silent running roller guide is taught. The roller guide Is rendered silent by providing a v-shaped arrow guide wherein the v-shape is formed by the outer perimeters of two low inertia silent running roller bearings with a sound-muffling material wrapping the outer perimeter of the bearings. The v-shaped guide acting in cooperation with a coil spring serves to respond to the forces of displacement present at the instant the arrow is launched and to return the guide to its original position after the arrow is gone.
Claims5
An arrow guide comprising:
- a) a mounting arm adjustably securable to a bow,
- b) a mounting shaft passing through the mounting arm,
- c) two guide supports having mounting ends and the mounting ends are secured to the mounting shaft and the guide supports have free ends projecting outward from the mounting shaft and the guide supports lie in the same plane with each other,
- d) disk-shaped silent running roller guides mounted on the free ends of the guide supports so that the planes of rotation of the roller guides intersect at a line that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of an arrow resting in a v-shaped guide formed by the outer peripheries of the roller guides,
- e) sound muffling material secured to the outer peripheries of the roller guides, and
- f) the roller guides are ball bearings and their peripheries are in the form of a cylinder.
