An arrow support assembly for counteracting the vertical and horizontal forces imposed on an arrow being shot from an archery bow, said assembly being adapted for mounting on the handle section of an archery bow having a longitudinal axis extending perpendicularly to the horizontal plane containing the longitudinal axis of intended arrow flight and having a cut-out sight window through which arrows are to be shot, said assembly comprising, in combination, the following: a. pivot frame means for rigidly connecting to said handle section of said archery bow, b. yoke member means pivotally connected to said pivot frame means, all of said yoke member means pivoting in response to the forces imposed on an arrow being shot from a bow, said yoke member means having connected thereto, at least two, spaced apart, substantially non-resilient means for engaging and supporting an arrow, and c. resilient means for biasing in unison said yoke member means and said means for supporting an arrow toward a predetermined neutral position as an arrow is being shot from an archery bow to counteract the vertical and horizontal forces imposed on said arrow as said arrow is being shot from said archery bow.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
78 words
The arrow support assembly of claim 1 wherein said yoke member means is pivotally connected to said pivot frame means by pivot pin means for permitting said yoke member means to pivot relative to said pivot frame means, said pivot pin means being positioned so that an arrow being shot from an archery bow will cause said means for supporting an arrow to move downwardly and horizontally when the longitudinal axis of an archery bow is positioned vertically.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The arrow support assembly of claim 1 wherein said yoke member means pivots about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of intended arrow flight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The arrow support assembly of claim 1 wherein said assembly has adjustment means connected thereto for moving said pivot frame means relative to said archery bow.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
The arrow support assembly of claim 4 wherein said pivot frame means comprises a bracket means connectable to said archery bow and a pivot frame connected to said bracket means, said adjustment means being connected to said bracket means and said pivot frame for permitting said bracket means to be selectively moved relative to said pivot frame.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The arrow support assembly of claim 5 wherein said assembly has indicator means attached thereto for indicating the position of said pivot frame relative to said bracket means.
