A dart holder (10) comprising: first positioning means (1), holding means (3) for holding optionally at least the tip and/or part of the barrel of a dart in a settled position in the first positioning means (1) such that the barrel of said dart is accessible for being grabbed by a user's hand, a first landing area (4) arranged on the first positioning means (1) in respect to the holding means (3) such that said first landing area (4) provides a reference to at least part of the hand for grabbing the barrel at a target position,
wherein the holding means (3) is formed by a shaft (30) extending from the first landing area (4) at least partially through the first positioning means (1) up to a shaft end (31) facing away from the first landing area (4), wherein the shaft (30) is provided with a limitation reference means (8) to define a limitation for the tip of the barrel when it is inserted in the shaft (30).

A crossbow including first and second flexible limbs attached to a center rail. A first cam is mounted to the first bow limb and rotatable around a first axis. A draw string is received in string guide journals and is secured to first and second cams. The draw string unwinds from the string guide journals as it translates from a released configuration to a drawn configuration. Power cables are received in first and second power cable take-up journals on each of the first and second cams. As the crossbow is drawn from the released configuration to the drawn configuration the first and second power cables wrap onto the respective first and second power cable take-up journals and are displaced along the first and second axes away from the first and second planes of rotation of the first and second draw string journals.

A crossbow including pulleys rotatably attached to a center rail of the crossbow. Power cables of the crossbow connect the limbs of the crossbow to the pulleys. The draw string is enclosed in a safety cover. The crossbow includes a cocking system that translates a string carrier along the center rail to cock and de-cock the crossbow.

A bow has an arrow quiver further attached to a bowfishing bow or reel. The arrow quiver provides a clip that advantageously holds at least one arrow shaft along the bowfishing riser without interference with the line during use and may further hold one or more replacement tips and tools commonly used during the course of bowfishing. The replacement tips are stored to be easily accessible with the sharp points of the tips directed away from the user to avoid injury. Further, small hand tools, such as Allen wrenches or hex keys, are stored on the quiver in a manner which improves flexibility of the arrow clip.

Reversible quiver for performing the sport of archery, consisting of a support element (1) equipped with devices to secure it to the body of the sportsperson, and a containment element (2) for the arrows, which can be connected in an interchangeable fashion to the support element (1), wherein the connection devices (3) are of magnetic type, consisting of a female part (3a) and a male part (3b), and wherein this latter part can be inserted coaxially into the female part (3a), whilst disengagement occurs in the direction defined by the respective disengagement grooves provided on the female parts (3) and equipped with a single disengagement opening.

Systems and methods directed to archery bow accessories include a panel to be mounted on an archery bow, forward of the archery bow limbs, to provide stabilization, silencing, and/or concealment. The panel may be sufficiently rigid to support all or some of the weight of the archery bow against a support structure, such as the ground. The panel may also be sufficiently structurally sound to quiver arrows and to support other optional features, such as aiming devices. Silencing functionality of the panel may be enhanced by usage of or addition of sound absorbing materials, such as cork, foam, rubber, honeycomb structures, or combinations thereof.

A dual-cam archery bow with simultaneous power cable take-up and let-out journals. Each cam has power cable journals located on opposite sides of the draw string journal, where at least one of power cable journals is a helical journal.
