ABSTRACT:
An archery practice/exercise device for use with a bow including a handleriser portion and a bow string. The practice/exercise device includes a cylinder having a closure member for partially closing a forward end of the cylinder so as to delimit an orifice through which air may be expelled from the cylinder. A piston is mounted for movement within the cylinder and an arrow-like shaft having a forward end is coupled to the piston and extends outwardly from a rear end of the cylinder. A fastening arrangement is disposed proximate to the rear end of the cylinder and secured thereto for enabling rigid attachment of the cylinder to the handleriser of the bow whereupon attachment to the handleriser, the cylinder extends forwardly of the handleriser for stabilizing the bow. Upon an archer coupling nock to the bow string and drawing the arrow-like shaft out of the cylinder to a desired length, the piston is caused to move from an initial forward position to a rearward position within the cylinder, and upon the archer releasing the arrow-like shaft from the drawn-out position, the piston is driven forwardly compressing air within the cylinder and forcing the air out of the orifice so that a substantial portion of the energy of the bow is absorbed by the cylinder, thereby enabling the archer to exercise and practice archery skills in a safe manner without the shooting of a regular arrow.
