A bow assembly includes a bow body assembly that pulls a string to shoot an arrow by a force generated by a rebound of an elastic body, where the bow body assembly is pivotally connected to a winding assembly for winding the string; and the winding assembly slides from a first position of the bow body assembly to a second position of the bow body assembly through a sliding assembly. The bow assembly involves manual winding, but the manual winding process will not exert any force on a limb, and a winding wheel can be moved by driving the sliding assembly by pedaling. In a shooting phase, the winding assembly is fixed relative to a bow body. In addition, the energy efficiency enhancer enables the winding wheel to continue to rotate after a limited number of revolutions. Further, as the winding wheel will not stop abruptly, noise is reduced.

A crossbow including a center rail including a bottom portion, a proximal end, and a distal end positioned opposite the proximal end, the center rail at least partially defining a crossbow length and a midpoint plane intersecting a horizontal midpoint of the crossbow, a riser extending horizontally from the distal end, one or more limbs coupled to the riser, and a trigger extending from the bottom portion of the center rail and positioned within ten percent of the crossbow length from the midpoint plane.

An arrow rest mounting system is provided including a primary mount mountable to an archery bow riser with a riser fastener, and a secondary mount vertically, movably joined with the primary mount. The secondary mount can extend over and conceal the riser fastener. A vertical micro adjuster can provide selective vertical adjustment of the secondary mount relative to the primary mount. A horizontal micro adjuster can extend from the secondary mount, can be joined with an arrow rest support including a support arm movable from a support position to a rest position, and can provide selective horizontal adjustment of the support arm. The vertical micro adjuster can be forward of the riser fastener, and the horizontal micro adjuster can be rearward of the riser fastener to fit the mounting system in a tight space. A related method of use is provided.

An example archery arrow rest orthogonal cord force device for an arrow rest of an archery bow includes a housing member having a first end and a second end. A circuitous path is formed at least partly within the housing member. The circuitous path extends at least partly between the first end and the second end of the housing member. The housing member is attached along a linear axis of a cord defined by two attachment points of the cord in the arrow rest as part of the archery bow.

An arrow rest activation cord mounting assembly is provided including an elongated base mountable to a limb of an archery bow, a rail joined with the base, a mounting block moveable between a first end and a second end of the rail along the longitudinal axis to a plurality of discrete locations, and an anchor configured to receive an activation cord. The mounting block can be selectively positioned along the rail to set the anchor and activation cord at one or more different locations relative to the limb and thereby tune the activation of an arrow rest mounted to the archery bow with the activation cord. The rail can include multiple indicia elements of a scale to repeatedly set the block and anchor in discrete locations along the limb. The first end can extend in a cantilevered manner beyond a tip of the limb. A related method of use is provided.

A crossbow includes a frame that has a front end and a stock at a rear end. A projectile moves along a projectile axis that extends between the rear end and the front end during firing. The crossbow includes a power source that is configured to fire the projectile. The crossbow includes a latch that is movable between the rear end and the front end of the frame. The latch has a main body that defines a nock aperture aligned with the projectile axis and configured to receive a portion of the projectile therein. The crossbow includes a projectile guide connected to the main body of the latch and positioned adjacent the projectile axis. The projectile guide is configured to interface with the projectile when the projectile is in a misaligned rotational position, and be positioned between portions of the projectile when the projectile is in an aligned rotational position.

A crossbow including a riser, a limb coupled to the riser, and a cam assembly rotatably coupled to the limb about an axis of rotation. The cam assembly including a string guide defining a plane of rotation of the cam assembly about the axis of rotation and structured to support a drawstring, a drawstring attachment point structured to engage the drawstring, a power cable journal extending away from the plane of rotation along the axis of rotation and structured to support a power cable, and a power cable attachment point structured to engage the power cable. The power cable journal is shaped to displace the power cable away from the plane of rotation as the crossbow is drawn from a released configuration to a drawn configuration to provide a gap sized to permit the drawstring attachment point and the power cable attachment point to pass between the power cable and the plane of rotation.

An arrow rest is moveable between an encapturing configuration and a discharge configuration. The arrow rest comprises a body, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm is movably mounted with respect to the body. The second arm is also movably mounted with respect to the body. Responsive to movement from the encapturing configuration to the discharge configuration a first portion of the first arm and a first portion of the second arm operate to move away from each other, while a second portion of the first arm and a second portion of the second arm operate to move toward each other.

A fletching jig, which includes two support assemblies for an arrow shaft and a vane nest, wherein an arrow shaft disposed on the two support assemblies is aligned with a vane removeably disposed in the vane nest.

A clutch for use with an arrow rest is mounted intermediate the arrow rest and the bow. The clutch includes a body having a first end configured to operatively connect to the arrow rest cord and a second end that receives a moveable shaft. The moveable shaft has a first end received in the body and a second end configured to connect to a bow. A spring is received on the shaft and positioned between the shaft and the clutch body. The clutch is moveable between a first position in which the shaft first end is proximate the clutch body first end to facilitate the movement of an arrow rest launcher arm out of an arrow support position, and a second position in which the shaft first end is proximate the clutch body second end to facilitate movement of the arrow rest launcher arm into an arrow support position.
