ABSTRACT:
A compound bow including a rigid central body portion having an arrow window recess in one side and a pair of bow limbs fixedly mounted to the front of the body. The central body portion is pivotally mounted to a support assembly for limited floating pivotal movement of the general plane of the bow limbs, bowstring and arrow axis relative to the hand grip member. The hand grip member has a pistol grip and arm support, the grip being mountable at any of several positions along the fore and aft axis of the support assembly for adjustment of the draw length without the necessity of changing pulleys or arrow length. The pivotal float between the support assembly and the bow plane eliminates misaligning torques placed on the arrow allowing greatly increased accuracy. A modified version of the compound bow comprises a frame including a body portion and two tensionable, planar arms extending therefrom, at least two pulleys mounted on the frame, a grip asymmetrically mounted on the body portion and projecting from one side thereof and a forearm support mounted on the body portion which, when the grip is grasped by an archer, cooperates with the grip to help steady the body. When in use, the bow is held at a substantial angle with reference to the vertical.
