A deformable archery toy may include an annular rotating arm, a rotating shaft sleeve, an unfolding arm body A, an unfolding arm body B and a connecting arm body, wherein one end of the annular rotating arm is rotatably connected with the grip connecting arm, one end of the grip connecting arm far away from the annular rotating arm is fixedly connected with the unfolding arm A, one end of the unfolding arm A far away from the grip connecting arm is clamped with the string connecting sleeve block A, one end of the annular rotating arm far away from the grip connecting arm is fixedly connected with the unfolding arm B. In this invention, the whole archery toy could be effectively folded, the archery toy could be changed from the archery bow to the slingshot, so that the dual-purpose function could be effectively achieved.

A crossbow may include a main beam and a bow mechanism having a pair of outwardly extending bow limbs, a pair of bowstring wheels, a bowstring and at least one power cord that extends between the bow limbs. The crossbow may also include a traveling trigger mechanism and a drawing mechanism. The traveling trigger mechanism may hold the bowstring in the un-cocked condition. The drawing mechanism may then be operated to move the traveling trigger mechanism and thus the bow string from the un-cocked condition to a cocked condition.

In some embodiments, an archery bow is configurable between a first draw orientation and a second draw orientation. The bow comprises a limb and a limb support. The limb defines an unsupported length in either orientation, wherein the unsupported length of the limb is less in the second draw orientation than in the first draw orientation.

A traditional bow, includes a riser with an upper and lower end. A first limb member provided at the upper end of the riser, the first limb member includes a first and second body with co-planar surfaces and proximal and distal ends. the proximal ends of the first limb member are coupled to the upper end of the riser. A first tip couples the distal ends of the first and second bodies and includes a first notch extending radially from the first tip. A first longitudinal slot extends between the first and second bodies at least partially between the upper end of the riser and the first tip. A second limb member provided at the lower end of the riser, the second limb member includes a third and fourth body with co-planar surfaces and proximal and a distal ends, the proximal ends of the second limb member are coupled to the lower end of the riser. A second tip couples the distal ends of the third and fourth bodies and includes a second notch extending radially from the second tip. A second longitudinal slot extends between the third and fourth bodies at least partially between the lower end of the riser and the second tip. A bowstring is operatively coupled between the first limb notch and second limb notch and passes through the first and second longitudinal slots. The first and second limb notches pass through three or more states as the bowstring is drawn from an initial resting position to a maximum draw length. The first and second notches being furthest apart at a first state. closest together in an intermediate state, and at a position between the furthest and closest position in a final state. A peak draw force occurs at an intermediate draw length and a reduced draw force occurs at a maximum draw length.

A compact modular bow comprising a central member with slots at each end and a longitudinal tunnel, a plurality of interlocking limb segments with tunnels, connector sections with tunnels for connecting the limb segments, and a pair of recurve sections. The tunnels in the central member, limb segments, connector sections, and recurve sections align to allow a cord to pass through, maintaining the structural integrity of the assembled bow. The bow can be easily assembled, disassembled, and stored compactly, making it suitable for emergency hunting and survival situations. The components are made from durable materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, metal, and wood, and the bow includes a stretch cord for stability. The design allows for adding additional limb segments and connector sections to extend the bow's length as needed.
