Abstract

In some embodiments, a grip for a shooting device comprises a first body portion configured for attachment to the shooting device and a second body portion engaged with the first body portion. The second body portion is moveable with respect to the first body portion between first and second positions. A biasing member is arranged to bias the second body portion to the first position. In some embodiments, the second body portion comprises a guard defining a guard cavity and at least a portion of the first body portion is oriented in the guard cavity.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A grip for a shooting device comprising:
a first body portion configured for attachment to the shooting device;
a second body portion engaged with the first body portion, the second body portion moveable along a linear path with respect to the first body portion between first and second positions, the second body portion comprising a guard, the guard defining a guard cavity, at least a portion of the first body portion oriented in the guard cavity; and
a biasing member arranged to bias the second body portion to the first position.

2. The grip of claim 1 , the second body portion comprising a contacting surface arranged to contact a user's palm.

3. The grip of claim 1 , the second body portion comprising a first guide and a second guide defining a guide cavity, a portion of the shooting device oriented in the guide cavity.

4. The grip of claim 3 , the first guide a guide surface comprising a peak or valley.

5. The grip of claim 1 , the second body portion defining a grip cavity, a portion of the first body portion oriented in the grip cavity.

6. The grip of claim 5 , the biasing member oriented in the grip cavity.

7. The grip of claim 1 , comprising a stop arranged to limit travel of the second body portion beyond the first position.

8. The grip of claim 1 , the linear path arranged parallel to a shooting axis of the shooting device.

9. The grip of claim 1 , comprising a picatinny rail, the first body portion attached to the picatinny rail, the picatinny rail configured for attachment to the shooting device.

10. The grip of claim 9 , the picatinny rail comprising a stop arranged to limit travel of the second body portion beyond the first position.

11. The grip of claim 9 , the second body portion comprising guides defining a guide cavity, a portion of the picatinny rail oriented in the guide cavity.

12. The grip of claim 1 , the biasing member comprising a constant spring rate.

13. The grip of claim 1 , the biasing member comprising a variable spring rate.

14. The grip of claim 1 , the shooting device comprising a shooting vector, wherein applying a force in the direction of the shooting vector to the second body portion will move the second body portion with respect to the first body portion.
