ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an archery bow characterized by a combination handgrip and forearm protector hingedly attached in closely-spaced parallel relation to the longitudinal axis of the bow defined by the limbs of the latter and the bowstring, the handgrip-forming portion of the combination unit extending laterally out to the side and rearwardly relative to the forearm-protecting portion so as to define an acute angular relationship therebetween. The handgrip and protector cooperate with one another to prevent rotation of the forearm holding the bow while at the same time concentrating the force exerted on the handgrip at the apex of the included angle therebetween which lies closely adjacent the hinge axis thereby causing the force applied by the protector against the forearm to be minimized. The counterrotating forces exerted by the bow-holding hand on the handgrip and the forearm on the protector cancel one another out and bring about an equilibrium condition in which, with the bowstring drawn to launch an arrow, all elements of the assembly move together as a unit while aligning the arrow with the target, all without any twisting torque being applied or even appliable to the bow.
