Abstract
A triggerless back tension archery release device to assist archers in pulling a bow string to a fully drawn position and then releasing the bow string to fire an arrow. The surprise release timing is dependent upon a bowtie cam which is a bowtie shaped member containing various size corner edge notches. The bowtie cam may be rotated and then fixed at the desired orientation for pulling the arrow to the fully drawn position. The depth of the notch in the bowtie cam determines the surprise release timing. The bowtie cam is designed with a notch on each of the four corners. The bowtie cam may be reoriented to place any one of the four corner edge notches in the active position thus providing various degrees of flexibility for the surprise release timing.
Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/294,884, filed Jan. 14, 2010, and titled “Back Tension Archery Release Device with Bowtie Cam” which is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates to a triggerless back tension archery release device for use with a bow string and more specifically, a four position bowtie cam in a triggerless back tension release device.
- A back tension release device is one of several types of archery aids used by archers to assist in pulling a bow string to a fully drawn position and then releasing the bow string to fire the arrow. Nervousness and tension during the shooting motion, and the anticipated release of the bow string, can result in a temporary loss of control, flinching, or an uncontrollable reflex movement, known as target panic, which can result in the arrow missing its target. Target panic is the inability of an archer to accurately aim and execute a controlled shot at the precise instant he/she intends to shoot.
- A back tension release device allows for a surprise shot, thus eliminating the negative effects of target panic and improving shot consistency. When the exact timing of a shot is controlled by an archer, there is a higher probability of an inaccurate shot. A back tension device produces a surprise shot in which the exact timing of the release of the arrow is not controlled or known to the archer. The arrow release is initiated after the bow string is pulled to a fully drawn position by the rotation of the back tension device in the archer's hand. A slight increase in the tension at full draw coupled with a slight rotation of the archery release will cause the back tension device to release the string.
- Existing back tension release devices can contain a half moon or D-shape cam that can be adjusted to regulate the timing of the release. A clicker half moon or D-shape cam has a notch machined into the shooting edge of the cam. The notch causes an audible click which notifies the archer that the release is ready to fire, thus providing a reference before the arrow is released. This allows the archer to advance his/her draw immediately to the click and then settle into his/her shot routine for a surprise release. The timing from the click to the release can be changed by using a cam with a different depth notch and the amount of travel to reach the click is adjusted by rotating the cam.
- The standard half moon or D-shape cam design has two locations where notches can be machined. A new cam design is desired in which a greater number of notches can be machined to provide greater timing flexibility in a back tension release device while maintaining the ability to rotate the cam to adjust the amount of travel to reach the click.
- The present invention is a triggerless back tension archery release aid system containing a novel bowtie cam which provides archers with an option of four surprise release times. The bowstring release aid is held in the hand of the archer and is used to draw back the bowstring. The bowstring release aid is shaped and fitted to accommodate the fingers on the hand while gripping the release. The bowstring is attached to the bowstring release aid with a sear hook which rotates and releases the bowstring upon proper force and angle.
- The surprise release time may be changed by the adjustment of the bowtie cam. The orientation of the bowtie cam may be selected by the archer, thus positioning the desired corner notch in the active position for the surprise release. The unique geometry of the bowtie cam allows for the archer to select any one of the four possible corner notches for the surprise release, in addition to rotating the cam for pull back adjustment.
- Understanding that drawings depict only certain preferred embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, the preferred embodiments will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 a is a drawing of the back tension archery release device. -

- The triggerless back
tension release device 10, shown inFIG. 1 a, comprises afinger grip handle 11 with astem 12 extending from between afirst finger groove 13 and asecond finger groove 14. Thefinger grip handle 11 may be configured with fourfinger grooves FIG. 1 . In other embodiments, thefinger grip handle 11 may be configured with threefinger grooves finger grooves bowtie cam 17 and asear 20 are connected to the end of thestem 12 with alinkage member 19. -
FIG. 1 b shows thebowtie cam 17 is connected to thestem 12 and thelinkage member 19 by thebowtie pin 18. Thesear 20 is connected to the opposite end of thelinkage member 19 by thesear pin 21. Thesear 20 is a crescent shaped member with thebow string hook 22 at the end opposite thebowtie cam 17 and acorner edge 24 at the end near thebowtie cam 17. When the bow string is in thebow string hook 22 at the beginning of the pull back, thecorner edge 24 of thesear 20 is in contact with thesliding surface 23 of thebowtie cam 17. As the bow string is pulled back and the tension increases, thecorner edge 24 slides along thesliding surface 23 of thebowtie cam 17 and comes to rest as it clicks into the bowtiecorner edge notch 25. Thebowtie cam 17 is shown inFIGS. 2 a and 2 b with thecorner edge notch 25 at the end of thesliding surface 23. The click indicates to the archer that the surprise release is imminent. Referring back toFIG. 1 a, as the pull back tension is increased, a threshold level is reached upon which thesear corner 24 disengages from thebowtie notch 25 and thesear 20 freely pivots around thesear pin 21 releasing the bow string from thebow string hook 22. - The
bowtie cam 17, shown inFIGS. 2 a and 2 b, controls the pull back and surprise release characteristics of the triggerless back tension archery release device. Thebowtie cam 17 is shaped similar to a bowtie with a hole in the center. There are two curved side segments, also referred to ascurved adjustment surfaces 29 on opposite sides of the hole. The center region of thesecurved side segments 29 is concentric with the hole and has a radius greater than the radius of the hole. There are twosliding surfaces 23 on opposite sides of the hole, above and below, which are concentric with the hole. Thesesliding surfaces 23 have a radius greater than the radius of thecurved side segments 29. - The
bowtie cam 17 is held in place by thebowtie pin 18 passing through the center of thebowtie cam 17, thestem 12, and thelinkage member 19. Thebowtie pin 18 allows thebowtie cam 17 to be rotated by the archer to a desired position or orientation relative to thestem 12, thus providing pull back adjustment for initiating the release. A screw or fastening mechanism (not shown) is tightened against thecurved adjustment surface 29 of thebowtie cam 17 to secure it in place and keep it from rotating during a shot. -
FIGS. 2 a and 2 b showcorner edge notches bowtie cam 17. The size of eachnotch notches bowtie cam 17 may even contain one or more corners without a notch. The geometry of the bowtie cam allows the archer to re-orient thebowtie cam 17 by loosening the screw or fastening mechanism and rotating thebowtie cam 17 to put a different notch in the active position against the sear 20. Thebowtie pin 18 may be removed and thebowtie cam 17 turned and reinserted to put another notch in the active position. For example, referring toFIG. 2 b, ifnotch 25 is in the active position, thebowtie cam 17 may be rotated around thebowtie pin 18 to placenotch 27 in the active position.Notch 28 may be moved to the active position by removingbowtie pin 18, removing thebowtie cam 17 from thestem 12 andlinkage member 19, turning thebowtie cam 17 over and reinserting it into thestem 12 and replacing thebowtie pin 18. From this position notch 26 may be moved to the active position by simply rotating thebowtie cam 17. The unique geometry of thebowtie cam 17 in the triggerless back tensionarchery release device 10 allows for a range of adjustable pull back characteristics and up to four different surprise timing release options. With the same size notches, the archer may re-orient the bowtie cam when one notch wears out, thus keeping the same surprise timing and not having to replace the entire triggerless back tension archery release. - Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can use the preceding description to utilize the invention to its fullest extent. Therefore the examples and embodiments disclosed herein are to be construed as merely illustrative and not a limitation of the scope. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many changes may be made to the details of the above described embodiments without departing from the underlying principles of the invention.
