An interface between an archery bow having a grip and the archer's hand comprising: (a) a cover means disposed between said hand and said grip at a point where said hand contacts said grip when said bow is drawn and ready for firing; (b) said cover means adapted for low friction, omni-directional, slidable movement of said hand independent of said grip at said contact point; (c) first lubricating means between said cover means and said grip; (d) a slidable pad attached to the palm area of a glove on said hand; and (e) second lubricating means being disposed between said slidable pad and said glove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
An interface between an archery bow having a grip and the archer's hand comprising: (a) a cover means disposed between said hand and said grip at a point where said hand contacts said grip when said bow is drawn and ready for firing; (b) said cover means adapted for low friction, omni-directional, slidable movement of said hand independent of said grip at said contact point; (c) first lubricating means between said cover means and said grip; (d) a slidable pad attached to the palm area of a glove on said hand; and (e) second lubricating means being disposed between said slidable pad and said glove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
113 words
An interface between an archery bow having a grip and the archer's hand comprising: (a) a cover means disposed between said hand and said grip at a point where said hand contacts said grip when said bow is drawn and ready for firing; (b) said cover means adapted for low friction, omni-directional, slidable movement of said hand independent of said grip at said contact point; (c) first lubricating means between said cover means and said grip; (d) said cover means disposed between said hand and said grip by means of a slidable pad for a glove for said hand; and (e) second lubricating means being disposed between said slidable pad and said glove.
Claim 4

Dependent Claim
10 words
The interface of claim 2 where said grip is removable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The interface of either of claims 1, 2, or 3 where said cover means comprises latex rubber and where said interface further comprises a lubricating material at said hand-bow contact point.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
75 words
An interface between an archer's hand and an archery bow having a grip comprising: (a) a first cover means partially encircling said bow proximate to where said hand contacts said bow during firing; (b) a second cover means slidably contacted with and partially encircling said first cover means, thereby allowing omni-directional slidable movement of said hand independent of said grip; and (c) lubricating means placed between said first cover means and said second cover means.
