A drop away arrow rests which prevents movement of the rest element during the drawing, firing or let down of an archery bow. A drop away arrow rest that provides an optimized delay function for the dropping of the rest element after release of the bow string when firing the arrow to provide maximum support for the arrow during the launch with a last second, high speed dropping motion to clear the vanes on the arrow.

An archery assembly and method are disclosed herein. The archery assembly, in an embodiment, includes an archery riser mount. The archery riser mount has a riser mounting portion that is configured to be secured to a rear surface of a riser of an archery bow. The archery riser mount also has an adjustment assembly supported by the archery riser mount. The adjustment assembly includes first and second portions that are moveably interfaced with each other. The first portion is configured to be moved, relative to the second portion, along an axis that intersects with a vertical plane. The archery assembly has a projectile support device supported by the first portion.

A coupler and method for coupling a bow accessory to a bow is described. The coupler, in one embodiment, includes an accessory support configured to support an accessory and a mount connected to the accessory support. The mount includes a plurality of flexible riser engagers configured to be coupled to the riser portion.

An arrow rest device for bows and similar equipment is provided. The arrow rest can include a y-shaped launcher, a shaft and a housing with an activator. The launcher and the activator can be fixedly connected to the shaft and rotate therewith. Within the housing can be a wall with an obstruction that can be shaped and designed to interact with a ball detent or similar component located on the end of the activator. The activator can be configured to rotate inside the housing wall and can be coupled to the housing with a biasing element that urges rotation of the activator and shaft in one direction. The activator can rotate in the housing between three positions, each corresponding to an orientation of the launcher. In one position, the activator is maintained by the wall so as to allow the launcher to have an upright orientation for supporting an arrow.

A drop away arrow rest includes programmable or coded magnets that selectively move an arrow support arm to predetermined positions, such as a support position to hold an arrow, or a rest position to move out of the way of an arrow as it is launched from an archery bow.

In some embodiments, a crossbow comprises a frame, a bow portion comprising a bowstring, a latch and a trigger. An arrow rest is supported by the frame at a first location. The frame is also arranged to support the arrow rest at a second location. A distance between the latch and the first location is different from a distance between the latch and the second location.

An archery assembly and method are disclosed herein. The archery assembly, in an embodiment, includes a mount portion, a support portion, and an arrow holder. The mount portion includes a face surface and a first dovetail structure. The face surface is configured to at least partially contact a rear surface of a bow riser when the mount portion is mounted to the bow riser. The support portion includes a second dovetail structure. The arrow holder is supported by the support portion.

An arrow stabilizer for an archery airgun includes an elongated body configured to be secured to the airgun. The body defines a non-cylindrical passage extending longitudinally therethrough. The passage is configured to receive an arrow and support a shaft of the arrow as the arrow travels through the passage when launched by the airgun. The passage can have a non-circular cross-sectional profile that includes a central bore configured to closely receive the arrow shaft, and a plurality of radially extending slots configured to receive the fletching. The slots and central bore cooperate to form stabilizing rails upon which the arrow can ride through the passage. The rails guide the arrow shaft smoothly along the passage and hold the arrow substantially stable as it travels therethrough when launched by the archery airgun.
