Abstract

In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser, limbs and a bowstring extending between the limbs. A string stop is supported by the riser. The string stop comprises a first body member, a flexion member supported by the first body member and a bumper supported by the flexion member. At least a portion of the flexion member is oriented nonparallel to a shooting axis defined by the archery bow.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An archery bow comprising:
a riser, limbs and a bowstring extending between the limbs; and
a string stop comprising a first body member supported by the riser, a flexion member supported by the first body member and a bumper supported by the flexion member, at least a portion of the flexion member oriented nonparallel to a shooting axis defined by the archery bow, the first body member comprising a different material from the flexion member, the flexion member comprising a composite material.

2. The archery bow of claim 1 , wherein the flexion member is straight along its length.

3. The archery bow of claim 1 , the flexion member comprising curvature along its length.

4. The archery bow of claim 3 , the flexion member comprising a convex side and a concave side, the archery bow comprising a cable adjacent to the concave side.

5. The archery bow of claim 1 , the composite material comprising glass fibers.

6. The archery bow of claim 1 , the flexion member attached to the first body member by a moment connection.

7. The archery bow of claim 6 , the moment connection comprising a first fastener and a second fastener.

8. The archery bow of claim 1 , the string stop comprising a second body member supported by the flexion member, the bumper supported by the second body member.

9. The archery bow of claim 8 , the first body member and the second body member comprising similar shapes.

10. The archery bow of claim 8 , the first body member comprising a first post, the second body member comprising a second post.

11. The archery bow of claim 10 , wherein a central axis of the first post is collinear with a central axis of the second post.

12. The archery bow of claim 10 , wherein a central axis of the first post is parallel to and offset from a central axis of the second post.

13. The archery bow of claim 8 , the second body member comprising a surface in contact with the flexion member, the surface oriented nonparallel to the shooting axis.

14. The archery bow of claim 1 , the flexion member comprising a first flexion member, the string stop comprising a second flexion member supported by the first body member.

15. The archery bow of claim 14 , the second flexion member arranged to support the bumper.

16. The archery bow of claim 15 , wherein the first flexion member and the second flexion member comprise similar shapes and have opposite orientations.

17. An archery bow comprising:
a riser, limbs and a bowstring extending between the limbs; and
a string stop comprising a first body member supported by the riser, a flexion member supported by the first body member and a bumper supported by the flexion member, at least a portion of the flexion member oriented nonparallel to a shooting axis defined by the archery bow;
the flexion member comprising a width and a thickness, the width being at least three times the thickness.

18. The archery bow of claim 17 , wherein the first body member comprises a different material from the flexion member.

19. The archery bow of claim 18 , the flexion member comprising a composite material.

20. An archery bow comprising:
a riser, limbs and a bowstring extending between the limbs; and
a string stop comprising a first body member supported by the riser, a flexion member supported by the first body member and a bumper supported by the flexion member, at least a portion of the flexion member oriented nonparallel to a shooting axis defined by the archery bow;
first body member comprising a surface in contact with the flexion member, the surface oriented nonparallel to the shooting axis.
