Abstract
An apparatus for use with an archery bow which comprises a resilient elastomeric member having at least one end, a coupler for coupling the one end of the resilient elastomeric member to an archery bow and a stabilizer weight provided in the resilient elastomeric member adjacent an opposite end from the one end. In other embodiments the apparatus has another end, a coupling provided in the another end, is barreled and has energy dispersion rings.
Claims16
An apparatus for absorbing vibration and shock of an archery bow upon release of an arrow, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated elastomeric member of selected geometry and having resilient properties selected and defined to cause the member to normally absorb vibration and shock, said member having at least one end;
- a weight provided in said elastomeric member opposite said one end;
- and
- a connecting means for coupling said one end of the member to an archery bow;
- and wherein
- said selected geometry is substantially a cylinder;
- and
- said cylinder is provided with a waisted portion adjacent the one end.
An apparatus for absorbing vibration and shock of an archery bow upon release of an arrow, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated elastomeric member of selected geometry and having resilient properties selected and defined to cause the member to normally absorb vibration and shock, said member having at least one end;
- a weight provided in said elastomeric member opposite said one end;
- and
- a connecting means for coupling said one end of the member to an archery bow;
- and wherein
- the selected geometry is substantially barrel shaped.
An apparatus for absorbing vibration and shock of an archery bow upon release of an arrow, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated elastomeric member come and having resilient properties selected and defined to cause the member to normally absorb vibration and shock, said member having at least one end;
- a weight provided in said elastomeric member opposite said one end;
- and
- a connecting means for coupling said one end of the member to an archery bow;
- and wherein
- said selected geometry is substantially a cylinder;
- and
- a length of the elongated elastomeric member is three to six times a diameter thereof.
An apparatus for absorbing vibration and shock of an archery bow upon release of an arrow, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated elastomeric member of selected geometry and having resilient properties selected and defined to cause the member to normally absorb vibration and shock, said member having at least one end and said selected geometry is generally barrel shaped with radially extending dispersion fins;
- and
- a connecting means for coupling said one aid of the member to an archery bow.
A method for absorbing shock and vibration in an archery bow comprising the step of coupling an angularly flexible resilient member to said archery bow, said annularly flexible resilient member comprising:
- an elongated elastomeric member of selected geometry and having resilient properties selected and defined to cause the member to normally absorb vibration and shock, said member having at least one end;
- a weight provided in said elastomeric member opposite said one end;
- and
- a connecting means for coupling said one end of the member to said archery bow;
- and wherein
- said selected geometry of said angularly flexible resilient member is substantially a cylinder;
- and
- said cylinder is provided with a waisted portion adjacent the one end.
A method for absorbing shock and vibration in an archery bow comprising the step of coupling an angularly flexible resilient member to said archery bow, said angularly flexible resilient member comprising:
- an elongated elastomeric member of selected geometry and having resilient properties selected and defined to cause the member to normally absorb vibration and shock, said member having at least one end;
- a weight providing in said elastomeric member opposite said one end;
- and
- a connecting means for coupling said one end of the member to said archery bow;
- and wherein
- the selected geometry of the angularly flexible resilient member is substantially barrel shaped.
