An adjustable limb pocket of an archery bow includes a pocket insert having at least one channel that extends along a length of the pocket insert. The at least one channel can include a plurality of attachment positions. A limb contact member can be coupled to one of the plurality of attachment positions to support a bow limb retained within the limb pocket. One or more limb contact members can be repositionable within one or more channels of the pocket insert to vary a bowstring tension of the archery bow and/or manipulate the movement a distal tip of the bow limb as the bowstring is drawn and released. In some cases, one or more weights are positioned inside the limb pocket.

A break action pistol crossbow having a repeating capability. The crossbow has a loading chamber configured to house a plurality of bolts. A biasing mechanism is disposed within the loading chamber. The crossbow has a forward retainer positioned at the front of a flight rail and a rear retainer positioned at the back of the flight rail. The bowstring is configured to be drawn over a bolt loaded into the chamber. As the bowstring travels over the bolt, the biasing mechanism presses the bolt against the bowstring. When the bowstring clears the bolt, the force applied onto the bolt by the biasing mechanism presses the leading end of the bolt against the retaining bridge and presses the trailing end of the bolt against retaining brush. In this manner, the bolt is aligned with the flight rail.

A fletching jig can include constrictor ring that, when rotated, urges a plurality of arms supporting respective vanes toward an arrow supported in the jig to fletch the arrow. The arms can extend away from a base, which can support the arrow along a central axis. The actuator ring can be disposed around the arms. The actuator ring can include a ramp that can engage multiple guide blocks adjacent the actuator ring, each guide block configured to push a respective arm toward the arrow as the ring rotates. A related method of use is provided.

In some embodiments, a limb cup comprises a body and a vibration damper. The body comprises a first limb cavity and a damper housing. The damper housing comprises an aperture. The vibration damper comprises a resilient member and a weight. The first limb cavity is arranged to receive an archery bow limb. The resilient member is oriented in the aperture and supported by the damper housing. The weight is supported by the resilient member.

A rotary auger support stand for holding objects such as decoys above the ground. The auger support stand includes at least one rod of longitudinal support member or shaft. The rotary auger anchor comprises a helical coil for screwing that end of the stake into the ground. handle means such as an S-shaped handle provides a crank handle for rotatably screwing the anchor into the ground or at least two opposing legs extend perpendicular from and between the shaft and auger forming a base. The distal end of opposing legs are bent upward perpendicular from the ground or bent upward and inwardly at an acute angle toward the shaft forming handles for rotating the auger into the ground. The transverse legs extending from the elongated support pole provides a base bearing against the ground for increased lateral support. The top distal end of the shaft includes means for supporting an object.

A base for supporting a hunting blind includes a plurality of outer frame members connected to one another to form an outer frame, at least one floor panel positioned on a top surface of the outer frame, and at least one of the floor panels defining at least one aperture to receive a storage bin. A plurality of support members may be configured to support the outer frame, the support members being configured for insertion into a ground surface. A height of each support member relative to the ground surface may be adjustable to provide a level position for the outer frame.

In aspects of the invention, an arrow slide is provided with a body having a first opening with a plurality of first edges arranged in a generally triangular configuration within which a first diameter can be received, a second opening with a plurality of second edges arranged in the generally triangular configuration within which the first diameter can be received; sidewalk linking corresponding ones of the first plurality of edges to the plurality of second edges to create a passageway extending from the first opening to the second opening through which an arrow can slide; and a string mount to which a bowfishing line can be joined.

A fletching jig can include constrictor ring that, when rotated, urges a plurality of arms supporting respective vanes toward an arrow supported in the jig to fletch the arrow. The arms can extend away from a base, which can support the arrow along a central axis. The actuator ring can be disposed around the arms. The actuator ring can include a ramp that can engage multiple guide blocks adjacent the actuator ring, each guide block configured to push a respective arm toward the arrow as the ring rotates. A related method of use is provided.

Crossbows are provided having a barrel with one limb and one winding system mounted to each of two opposite sides of the barrel. Each winding system has a limb string connected to one of the limbs and a limb cam about which the limb string can be wound. The limb cams are connected to and positioned apart from arrow string cams by respective interconnects and an arrow string extends across the barrel from an arrow string cam on one side of the barrel to an arrow string cam on the other side of the barrel. The limbs provide first forces urging the limb strings to unwind from the limb cams and the interconnects receive the first forces and convey a second forces to the arrow cams urging the arrow cams to rotate so as to wind the arrow strings onto the arrow cams. The arrow string is drawn against such urging.

An assembly includes a mounting bracket that defines one or more mounting bracket holes, one or more fasteners configured to secure the mounting bracket to an archery bow via the one or more mounting bracket holes, and a light source coupled to the mounting bracket and configured to illuminate a distance marker tape of the archery bow. The distance marker tape light assembly can be used to illuminate distance marker tape on a variety of archery bows. The distance marker tape light assembly can be considered a universal distance marker tape light assembly due to the large number of different archery bows on which the distance maker light assembly can be effective.
