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.

An archery bow is provided including opposing limbs and a riser. The riser can include a riser handle and one or more primary riser elongated elements extending away from the handle to respective limbs. The primary riser elongated elements can be straight, elongated round or other shaped tubes, rods or bars constructed optionally from a composite or other material. Vents can be included in ports of the riser to facilitate escape of air when riser elongated elements are installed in those ports. The riser can include one or more connector lugs disposed between tube portions to facilitate attachment of accessories to the elongated elements. The elongated elements can be bonded, adhered or otherwise fixed to the riser handle, struts, lugs and/or limb pockets, which can be constructed from a metal such as aluminum, titanium or an alloy, and which can handle significant moments and forces transferred via the elongated elements.

A bow having a high throw weight and a low draw weight. The bow has an operative riser adapted to cause pivotal movement of an upper or lower limb. The operative riser includes a first end section connected to a first limb, a second end section connected to a second limb, and a central section connected between the first and second end sections, the first end section being fixedly connected to the central section and the second end section being pivotally connected to the central section. An actuating means is disposed within the central section to physically engage the second end section. A triggering means is connected to the actuating means to operably engage the actuating means and cause pivotal movement of the second limb. The pivotal movement changes a length between the distal ends of the limbs thus changing a draw or throw weight of the archery bow.

An archery bow with a riser including a mount in an upper wall of a sight window of the riser may allow for a novel manner of mounting an archery accessory. Placement of the mount within a centerline plane of the riser may maintain the weight of the archery accessory along a center of the bow, thereby reducing or eliminating asymmetrically weighted bows or the need for an additional stabilizer to balance the weight of the archery accessory. Positioning the mount in the upper wall of the sight window additionally allows for coordination of the position of a secondary accessory, such as a sight, a light, or a camera, in addition to mounting an arrow rest, such as in a lower wall of the sight window, while maintaining the centralized weight advantages noted above.

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 and an accessory is positioned in the cavity. A fastener attaches the accessory to the riser.

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 bow with a riser including a mount in a centerline plane of the riser above a lower wall of a sight window of the riser may allow for a novel manner of mounting an archery accessory. Placement of the mount within a centerline plane of the riser may maintain the weight of the archery accessory along a center of the bow, thereby reducing or eliminating asymmetrically weighted bows or the need for an additional stabilizer to balance the weight of the archery accessory.
