Aspects of the present disclosure deal with bow stabilizers mounted or mountable on an archery bow. The stabilizer incorporates a hollow housing with a proximal end and a distal end. Mounted to the distal end of the housing is a coupling formed of elastic vibration damping material. The coupling includes an outer wall section extending within the housing and a cylinder spaced inward from the outer wall section. Extending between the outer wall section and the cylinder are one or more flexible connectors. The cylinder supports a shaft with an inner weight mounted to a first end and spaced inward from the housing. The shaft and inner weight are arranged in a floating arrangement where oscillation of the shaft and inner weight does not impact the housing.

A bow accessory coupler and method are disclosed herein. The bow accessory coupler, in an embodiment, includes a body. The body has a first surface including an interface configured to face in a first direction and engage a rear face of a bow riser. The body also has a second surface configured to face in a second direction. Furthermore, the body includes a portion having a dovetail shape. The body defines at least one opening configured to receive a fastener, and the portion is configured to be coupled to an element of an accessory.

In some embodiments, a crossbow comprises a stock, a bow portion, a latch, a trigger and a foregrip. In some embodiments, the foregrip is supported by the stock and arranged to move with respect to the stock between a first position and a second position.

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.

The present invention is directed to an inertial dampener for archery bows. The inertial dampener has a plurality of inertial pads disposed around a grip shaft and a plate contained within a riser beam and cavity therein. The plate is surrounded by inertial pads on both the posterior and anterior sides, so as to absorb longitudinal shock forces following release of the bow string. The shaft is surrounded by an inertia sleeve pad so as to absorb lateral and vertical forces following release of the bow string.

A vibration dampener for an archery bow is formed as an elastomeric member having an outer surface containing a plurality of spaced grooves which define ribs there between. Each groove has a constant depth, but the grooves toward the ends of the member are not as deep as the grooves progressing toward the center of the member. The ribs may contain spaced and aligned depressions which cooperate with the grooves to absorb vibrations from the bow in three dimensions during execution of an archery shot. Inserts are provided in each end of the dampener to stabilize the ends and to facilitate connection of the dampener with a bow stabilizer and weights.

A double locking connector includes a base having a tapered end portion and a fitting having a chamber configured to receive the tapered end portion. Two independent locking assemblies are provided to connect the fitting with the base tapered portion to provide a secure connection. The first locking assembly includes a screw which passes through an opening in the fitting for connection with a threaded opening in the tapered portion. The second locking assembly includes a locking pin arranged in a channel in the fitting and a screw which is operable to draw the locking pin against a portion of the tapered portion. The tapered portion preferably includes three symmetrical contact surfaces which engage an inner surface of the fitting chamber to evenly distribute clamping forces from the fitting onto the tapered portion when the first locking assembly is operated.

A double locking connector for an archery bow stabilizer includes a base having a tapered end portion and a fitting having a chamber configured to receive the tapered end portion. Two independent locking assemblies are provided to connect the fitting with the base tapered portion to provide a secure connection. The first locking assembly includes a screw which passes through an opening in the fitting for connection with a threaded opening in the tapered portion. The second locking assembly includes interlocking gear teeth provided on the fitting and on a plate connected with the base, respectively. An adjustable rod lock may also be connected with the base to prevent a side bar mount from moving during use of the bow.

A mass transfer module attachable to a string stop of an archery bow preferably includes a fastener, a clamp, a hole and at least one a weight component and a vibration dampening device. The clamp is located on one end of the mass transfer module and the threaded hole is located on an opposing end. The clamp is secured to a string stop rod by tightening the fastener. In an alternative embodiment, an extension rod may be used to extend the weight component and/or vibration dampening device away from a mass body of the mass transfer module. In an alternative embodiment, the hole may be replaced with a stop clamp. In another embodiment the mass transfer module may be pivotally secured to the string stop rod in two axes.

In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser comprising a grip location and a cavity. A first limb is supported by the riser and attached by a first limb fastener. A second limb is supported by the riser and attached by a second limb fastener. A bowstring extends between the limbs. A vibration damper is located in the cavity, the vibration damper comprising a resilient member and a weight. A first distance from the bowstring to the first limb fastener is less than a second distance from the bowstring to the vibration damper.
