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.

An archery training aid is provided including a body and a finger rest extending outward at an angle from a base. The finger rest can include a finger rest surface configured to engage one or more fingers of a hand. The base can be configured to be placed in engagement with a first lateral grip surface of a bow grip so that the finger rest surface is disposed at a first angle between 25° to 65°, inclusive, or between 30° and 50°, inclusive, relative to the first lateral grip surface. A related method of use is provided to impair or prevent bow torque imparted by an archer's hand on a bow.

Shooting accuracy in archery may be greatly improved by increasing the precision and repeatability in which an archer establishes “anchor points,” which are contact points between the archer and a drawn bow and arrow at a moment of launch. One such contact point is the hand gripping the bow grip. The invention provides a bow grip aid which enables an archer to repeatably grip the same location of the bow grip and maintain consistent grip firmness from one shot to the next. Reducing variances of this aspect of the archer's form benefits the archer by reducing variances between the archer's sighting process and determination of point of aim, and the impact point of the arrow on its target. The invention helps archers grip a bow more consistently so they can consistently place each arrow where they want it to go.

An archery bow comprises a stabilizer mounting facility. A bow element for the archery bow comprises a body. The body comprises a first mounting facility. The first mounting facility is configured for connection to the stabilizer mounting facility. The body comprises a second mounting facility. The second mounting facility is configured for connection to a bow stabilizer. The body includes an accelerometer. The bow element comprises a processor. The processor is connected to the accelerometer. The processor is configured to receive three-dimensional acceleration information from the accelerometer. The processor is operable to generate sampled information based on the three-dimensional acceleration information. The bow element comprises a transmitter. The transmitter is connected to the processor. The transmitter is operable to transmit the sampled information.

Embodiments herein describe an archery training device for improving shooting accuracy. The device has a rigid body graspable by one hand, an elastic section for providing resistance, and a string coupled to the elastic section with a loop on the opposite end. The device further includes an adjustable string length and adjustable resistance to match a particular configuration of a bow for a particular sporting enthusiast or hunter.

An archery bow facility for launching an arrow includes a flexible bow and a bow string connected to the bow. A sensor connected to the bow is operable to generate a datastream based on a condition of the bow. A processor and display in communication with the sensor is operable to receive the datastream and to determine a first bow position at a moment of initiation of release when the bowstring is released by a user. The processor, based on the datastream, then operates to determine a second bow position at a moment of conclusion of release when the arrow departs the bowstring. The processor may operate in conjunction with the display to communicate to a user information about the difference between the first and second positions. The first and second position may be first and second angular orientations, and the sensor is preferably a multi-axis accelerometer.

There is provided a protective glove to cover at least a portion of a hand of an archer during the shooting of arrows from a bow, which glove is designed to resist a broken arrow from puncturing through the glove and entering the flesh of the user. In particular, there may be a palm section, made of a first arrow puncturable material that covers the palm of the users hand. There may also be a protective section, located on the glove covering the back of the hand of the user, made of a second material that has a high weight-to-strength value, coupled to the palm section and positioned so that a broken arrow being shot from a bow will have a higher likely hood of hitting the protective section than hitting areas not having the protective section.

An archery trainer and exercise device has a gripping handle having a central grip surface, a relatively inelastic member connected to the gripping handle and a force resistance elastic member connected at one end to the inelastic member and another end connected to a string attachment. A sight extends from a top surface of the gripping handle and a weight extends from a bottom surface of the gripping handle.
