Benefits of technology

[0035]The object of the invention is to eliminate bowstring oscillation and suppress vibration and noise in an archery bow following the release of an arrow. This preferred embodiment mounts on the end of a mounting rod supplied by the bow manufacturer or other archery accessory manufacturer. The outer gel shell of the invention is adjusted via the mounting rod to come into contact with the bowstring when the bow is at rest while held in place by the inner insert onto said mounting rod. The resilient properties of the gel m

Abstract

An accessory device described for use as a bowstring suppressor and held in place by a mounting rod fixed to the riser of a compound bow, recurve bow, long bow, or crossbow, so as to make contact with bowstring when bow is fired. Said device is made in two parts, one being a harder rubber or plastic material to mate with suppressor mounting rod for support, the second being a soft, flexible gel material that is over-molded the first part. Said over-molded gel comes into contact with bowstring upon firing of an arrow to suppress hand shock, vibration and noise in the archery implement. This arrangement was needed due to the physical properties of the gel material that prevents it from being used alone in a single molded part.
