ABSTRACT:
A preferred embodiment sling bow has rigid guide tubes mounted to a universal frame which allows both the handle and guide tube assembly to pivot. The elastic thrust tubes are disposed inside the rigid guide tubes and secured to their forward ends with tension adjusters. A pull-limiting/safety line is disposed inside each elastic tube and is connected to the bow string proximate the rearward end of the elastic tube and to the tension adjuster proximate the forward end of the elastic tube. Sights are mounted on the upper guide tube, and arrow rests are installed between the two guide tubes. A pull knob or pull loop is secured to the bow string center position. When the bow string is pulled back, the arrow will stay aligned with the sights due to the universal pivot feature of the sling bow. Features or the preferred embodiment include ultra violet (UV) degradation protection of the elastic tubes, safety protection for the shooter if an elastic tube should break or become detached from its mounting, over-draw protection, right or left-hand shooting capability, and collapsibility of the sling bow handle parallel to the guide tubes to facilitate storage in a pocket, holster, or backpack.
