ABSTRACT:
A bow-attached, arrow launching apparatus, for launching a shorter-than-conventional-length arrow, includes a bow attachment assembly adapted to be attached perpendicularly to a bow and includes an extensible and retractable arrow guide assembly. The front end of the arrow guide assembly is connected to the bow attachment assembly such that the arrow guide assembly is oriented perpendicularly with respect to the bow attachment assembly. The rear end of the arrow guide assembly is adapted to contact a bow string. The arrow guide assembly is adapted to receive an arrow for launching from the arrow guide assembly. The arrow guide assembly includes a pair of extensible and retractable guide track assemblies. A plurality of spacer supports are connected to the guide track assemblies and support the guide track assemblies at least a predetermined distance from one another. A first spacer support is connected to the bow attachment assembly, and a bow string guide assembly is connected between the guide track assemblies at the rear end of the arrow guide assembly. The at least predetermined distance spaced between the guide track assemblies is less than the head width of the head portion of the arrow and is less than the tail width of the tail portion of the arrow. Each of the guide track assemblies includes a plurality of telescopic segments adapted to be arranged in either a retracted orientation or an extended orientation.
