A pneumatic actuator having therein a venting element and a porous element, compression and elongation of the actuator creating an air flow in the venting element and porous element to output lubricant as a mist toward a sliding interface of the actuator. A bow using the actuator and a bow having a double string preventing sideward movement when launching an arrow. A compound bow having limbs with multiple rotatable elements and an actuator rotating such elements to launch an arrow.

An archery mounting assembly and method are disclosed herein. The archery mounting assembly, in an embodiment, includes a mount device having a mount portion configured to be engaged with a body of an archery weapon. The mount device also has a first interface that extends at least partially along an adjustment axis. The archery mounting assembly further includes an accessory support, which includes a support portion configured to support an archery accessory and a second interface configured to be movably coupled to the first interface of the mount device.

An archery bow can include a riser, a first limb coupled to the riser, a second limb coupled to the riser, a string extending between the first and second limb, and Non-Newtonian material (NN material). The NN material can be incorporated into at least one of the riser, the first limb, the second limb, the string, or another component of the archery bow. The NN material can have a material property (e.g., viscosity) which varies relative to a stress or force applied to the NN material. One or more portions of NN material can additionally, or alternatively, be incorporated into a projectile (e.g., an arrow) for an archery bow, an archery target or other archery equipment.

An archery release aid mount includes an attachment mechanism configured to rigidly attach the archery release aid to a bow. A securing device is configured to receive an archery release aid. The securing device includes a securing device that upon the archery release aid mount receiving the archery release aid, holds the archery release aid securely, and that is configured to allow a user to without tools remove the archery release aid from the archery release aid mount when the user wants to use the archery release aid during archery.

An archery bow assembly is provided including an open sided spacer which is mountable to an axle on an archery bow and removable therefrom without removing the axle entirely or partially from a limb of the archery bow. The spacer can mount on the axle adjacent a cam rotatable on the axle, and can include an outer perimeter and an axle aperture. A recess can extend inward from the outer perimeter to the axle aperture so that the axle aperture and recess form a continuous opening. The spacer can be of a C-shape or E-shape so that it can be frictionally pressed onto the axle and removed therefrom without removing the axle from the limb arms adjacent the cam. Related methods also are provided.

A system for a smart bow includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a user interface, and processing circuitry. The accelerometer is configured to measure acceleration of the smart bow. The gyroscope is configured to measure orientation of the smart bow. The processing circuitry is configured to receive the acceleration and the orientation of the smart bow from the accelerometer and the gyroscope. The processing circuitry is configured to perform an analysis on the acceleration and the orientation of the smart bow to identify an action performed with the smart bow. The processing circuitry is configured to operate the user interface to display a result of the analysis.

A grip assembly for an archery bow including an incrementally adjustable hand grip that can accommodate several customizable wrist positions for one or more archers without the use of separate attachments. The grip assembly includes a grip bed heel and a grip plate. The angle of the grip bed heel may be selectively adjusted relative to the riser by pivoting the grip bed heel. The grip plate may include an upper portion adapted to be coupled to the riser, a lower portion adapted to be coupled to the grip bed heel, and at least one flexible intermediate portion. The grip assembly can further include an adjustment mechanism for setting the angle of the grip bed heel and a securing mechanism for securing the grip bed heel in a desired angular position. The grip assembly can further include a biasing member applying a rotational counteracting force to the grip bed heel.

A pneumatic actuator having therein a venting element and a porous element, compression and elongation of the actuator creating an air flow in the venting element and porous element to output lubricant as a mist toward a sliding interface of the actuator. A bow using the actuator and a bow having a double string preventing sideward movement when launching an arrow. A compound bow having limbs with multiple rotatable elements and an actuator rotating such elements to launch an arrow.

An adjustable limb pocket of an archery bow includes a pocket insert having at least one channel that extends along a length of the pocket insert. The at least one channel can include a plurality of attachment positions. A limb contact member can be coupled to one of the plurality of attachment positions to support a bow limb retained within the limb pocket. One or more limb contact members can be repositionable within one or more channels of the pocket insert to vary a bowstring tension of the archery bow and/or manipulate the movement a distal tip of the bow limb as the bowstring is drawn and released. In some cases, one or more weights are positioned inside the limb pocket.

A transducer assembly includes a mounting base, a collar, a magnet, and a Hall effect sensor. The collar defines a bore and extends from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end is fixedly coupled with the mounting base. One of the magnet and the Hall effect sensor is disposed within the bore and fixedly coupled to the mounting base. The other of the magnet and the Hall effect sensor is fixedly coupled to the distal end of the collar. The Hall effect sensor is spaced longitudinally from the magnet and is configured to detect lateral deflection of the distal end of the collar. Methods are also provided.
