In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser, a limb assembly attached to the riser and a stabilizer. The limb assembly comprises a first limb member and a second limb member. The stabilizer is attached to the riser, and at least a portion of the stabilizer is oriented between the first limb member and the second limb member.

An archery accuracy device, system, and method for improving archery accuracy that can be tailored for each archer and their current archery equipment is provided. The archery accuracy device may embody a wireless accelerometer and gyroscope sensors coupled to an auto graphing software adapted to graphically represent multiple sets of bow movement data collected by the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. The graphical representation of multiple data sets, each data set associated with a different attempted shot, may be layered over each other on in one graphical representation, thereby enabling the archer to compare and contrast in their quest to optimize the best stabilization, setup condition through this iterative process.

A crossbow is configured to shoot a projectile. The crossbow includes a frame having a stock positioned at a rear end, the frame defining a horizontal projectile plane at a top side in which a projectile axis is positioned. The projectile moves within the horizontal projectile plane and along the projectile axis during firing and arming of the crossbow, and the projectile is fired from a front end of the frame. The crossbow further includes a drawstring hub connectable to ends of a drawstring. Rotation of the drawstring hub in at least one direction is powered, such as by a force applied by flexed limbs. The crossbow further includes drawstring guides attached to the frame for guiding the drawstring across the projectile axis between the ends of the drawstring. The first and second drawstring guides each include a pulley wheel, wherein the drawstring is guided at least partially around each pulley wheel. A further aspect is a crossbow having a frame comprised of a first frame portion and a second frame portion that are detachably coupled to one another via a fastening mechanism.

An elastic energy storage and deployment system deploys a torsional spring that bias a cam connected to a cable. The cam is coupled to the torsion spring about a shared rotational axis such that the cam directs elastic energy to and from the torsion spring and the cable transforms rotational force into linear motion, with little rotational inertia, and the addition of angular acceleration.

A crossbow including a frame along which an arrow movement axis essentially passes, a first holder and a second holder attached to the frame on opposite sides from the arrow movement axis, a first cam and a second cam arranged on the first holder and the second holder, respectively, made rotatable, and located essentially in a horizontal plane, and at least one limb arranged essentially below the arrow movement axis and attached to the frame. The at least one limb having a free end and made bending essentially in a vertical plane when using the crossbow where the vertical plane being perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The crossbow further includes a bowstring connecting the first cam and the second cam and at least one cable connecting the first cam and the second cam to the free end of the at least one limb.

The invention relates to an archery system that launches an arrow from a position that is perpendicular to a direction of flight for the arrow. After release, the arrow rotates to a position that is parallel to the direction of flight to the target.

Embodiments include a riser assembly for a bow. The riser assembly can include a first non-planar riser plate; and a second non-planar riser plate that is coupled to the first non-planar riser plate with one or more connectors. The first non-planar riser plate and the second non-planar riser plate define a gap there between. A width of the gap extending from the first non-planar riser plate to the second non-planar riser plate. The width of the gap varies in size such that the width of the gap at a central location of the gap is larger or smaller than the width of the gap at a location distal to the central location. Other embodiments are also included herein.

An assembly for launching toy projectiles includes a body having a bore, a plunger extendable from the bore, and a shaft removably attachable to the body. The body includes a first recess having a first diameter for receiving a first projectile. The shaft includes a second diameter for receiving a second projectile therearound and a second recess having a third diameter for receiving a third projectile therein. The first diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the first projectile, the second diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the second projectile, and the third diameter is substantially equal to a diameter of the third projectile but smaller than the second diameter. The plunger drives air through the assembly when released from an extended position to eject any one of the first, second, or third projectiles positioned in the first recess, on the shaft, or in the second recess.

In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser, a first limb, a second limb and a bowstring. The riser comprises a first rail, a second rail and a plurality of connecting members extending between the first rail and the second rail. The riser comprises an accessory cavity comprising an aperture through the first rail. The aperture comprises an asymmetrical shape. In some embodiments, the aperture comprises a first aperture and the accessory cavity comprises a second aperture through the second rail. In some embodiments, the second aperture has the same shape as the first aperture.

In some embodiments, an archery bow riser comprises a body defining a first end, a second end and a grip portion. The body defines a shooting axis and comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a metal and the second portion comprises carbon fibers. The first portion extends to a first side of the shooting axis and to a second side of the shooting axis, and the second portion extends to the first side of the shooting axis and to the second side of the shooting axis.
