BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The instant invention relates to archery devices serving to sustain bowstrings in nearly fully drawn positions without effort expended by an archer.
2. Related Art
The art disclosed in the Information Statement submitted herewith relates to but does not anticipate the instant invention.
A SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
1. A Brief Description of the Invention
The invention consists of a compound bow equipped with a pivotable arrow rest component and a typical sight window component into the base of which said sight window component there is to be found at its base, a permanently affixed stabilizing pin component. This pin component, an arrow stabilizing pin is thereupon affixed at an angle less than 90° with reference to the horizontal lie of the base of the sight window component of the bow. An arrow with a through hole therein punched is receivable by way of such arrow through hole by the pin component. Any such arrow through hole is located in relatively close proximity to the tip of each arrow. When a bowstring armed with an arrow is drawn back to some 90 to 95% of full extension by an archer pulling with one arm, the archer with the index finger of the hand of the opposite arm, presses the arrow at the situs of the arrow through hole down onto the stabilizing pin component, then releases the tension on the bowstring. When a time comes to launch the arrow, the archer re-engages the bowstring, pulls it back another 5 to 10% to full extension, lifting the index finger as he or she does and notes the arrow coming up off the pin component, whereupon he or she then releases the arrow in the direction of a desired target.
2. Objects of the Invention
An object of the invention is to enable an archer to avoid having to exert the tremendous energy needed to hold a bowstring of a powerful bow to fill extension for a long period of time while patiently awaiting the usually only one-time arrival of target game in the direction of which an arrow would then be launched. As a practical matter, especially with respect to utilization of a compound bow, this holding to full extension for a prolonged period of time can't really be effectively done. Indeed, the noise and commotion involved in otherwise quickly loading an arrow and pulling a bowstring back to full extension upon the arrival of game into a line of sight is such that most of the time, the game while then perceiving such noise and commotion simply bolts, runs and effectively escapes any real exposure to being struck all before such an arrow can even be released to begin with. However, no such noise and commotion occurs when all that is involved is bringing a previously loaded arrow back from rest at 90 to 95% of full extension only another 5 to 10% to full extension before releasing it. Moreover, an inveterate fatigue factor involved in an archer's having to otherwise hold an arrow for a prolonged, indefinite time at full extension is obviated by virtue of resort to utilization of the invention.
Another object of the invention is to facilitate accomplishment of the foregoing in an as ergonomically viable, maintenance free and economically inexpensive a manner as possible without, in any way, altering the manner of release of an arrow. The invention more than merely adequately clearly addresses such a concern, and, in view of its inherent simplicity, much more so than do or would any other art forms ostensibly meant to serve such a purpose.
For the reasons cited above, respectfully submitted, the invention is not only new and unique but unquestionably useful.
