Problems solved by technology

Quite often, as an archer continues to hold the bowstring in a fully drawn position, for example when aiming a drawn arrow at a target, the archer may fatigue which can result in a decrease of the required holding force.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]FIGS. 1 and 2 show position indicator 20, according to one embodiment of this invention. FIG. 13 schematically shows position indicator 20 mounted with respect to archery bow 21 and bowstring 22, according to one embodiment of this invention.

[0028]In certain embodiments of this invention, position indicator 20 comprises body 30 mounted with respect to archery bow 21. As shown in FIG. 13, body 30 comprises cable slide 32 slidably mounted along rod 33 which is fixed with respect to archery bow 21. In certain embodiments, at least one bus cable 25 is slidably mounted with respect to body 30. As shown in FIGS. 7-9 and 11-13, two bus cables 25 are slidably mounted with respect to body 30.

[0029]As shown in FIGS. 7-9 and 11-13, body 30 can be slidably mounted with respect to rod 33. Any other suitable mechanical arrangement can be used to moveably mount or otherwise allow body 30 to move with respect to archery bow 21.

[0030]As shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 11-13, body 40 is moveable with r...

Abstract

An apparatus and method for identifying a position of a bowstring relative to an archery bow. A position indicator includes one body mounted with respect to the archery bow and another body moveable with respect to the one body. With the bowstring in a drawn position, a contact can operate or not operate the indicator to show an archer that the bowstring is in the fully drawn position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a device and method that can be used to identify a position of a bowstring, for example, so that an archer can identify when the bowstring is or is not in a fully drawn position.[0003]2. Discussion of Related Art[0004]When an archer draws a archery compound bow, the archer first experiences increasing forces necessary to pull the bowstring. Then, after reaching a peak force necessary to draw the bowstring, the archer experiences a decreased force necessary to hold the compound bow in a fully drawn position, which is approximately 20% to 35% of the peak force value. Thus, when aiming the archery bow, the archer can hold the compound bow in a fully drawn position, but at a much lesser pulling force.[0005]Quite often, as an archer continues to hold the bowstring in a fully drawn position, for example when aiming a drawn arrow at a target, the archer may fatigue which can result in a decrease of th...
