Abstract

In some embodiments, an archery bow comprises a riser comprising a cavity and a grip attached to the riser and arranged to cover the cavity. A first limb is supported by the riser and a second limb is supported by the riser. A bowstring extends between the first limb and the second limb. A data device comprises an accelerometer. In some embodiments, the data device is oriented in the cavity and attached to the riser.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . An archery bow comprising:
a riser comprising a first cavity and a second cavity; a first limb supported by the riser; a second limb supported by the riser; a bowstring extending between the first limb and the second limb; and a first data device attached to the riser and oriented in the first cavity, the first data device comprising an accelerometer and a processor; and a second data device attached to the riser and oriented in the second cavity, the second data device comprising an accelerometer and a processor; the first data device comprising a first orientation, the second data device comprising a second orientation different from the first orientation.

2 . The archery bow of claim 1 , the riser comprising a grip, the grip positioned over the first cavity.

3 . The archery bow of claim 2 , the grip comprising a window.

4 . The archery bow of claim 3 , the first data device visible through the window.

5 . The archery bow of claim 4 , the first data device comprising a display, the display visible through the window.

6 . The archery bow of claim 5 , the first data device comprising a button, the button oriented in the window.

7 . The archery bow of claim 1 , the first cavity comprising a sidewall, the first data device comprising a housing in contact with the sidewall.

8 . The archery bow of claim 1 , the first data device arranged to measure and record conditional data.

9 . The archery bow of claim 1 , comprising a grip, the first data device attached to the grip, the grip attached to the riser.

10 . The archery bow of claim 9 , the grip comprising a flange contacting the first data device, the riser comprising a cavity, the flange oriented in the cavity.

11 . The archery bow of claim 1 , comprising a cable guard attached to the riser and a string stop attached to the riser, the first data device positioned between the cable guard and the string stop.

12 . The archery bow of claim 1 , comprising a feedback indicator attached to the riser, the feedback indicator in electronic communication with the first data device.

13 . The archery bow of claim 1 , a longitudinal axis of the first data device oriented nonparallel to a longitudinal axis of the second data device.

14 . An archery bow comprising:
a riser comprising a cavity; a grip attached to the riser and arranged to cover the cavity, the grip comprising a flange, the flange oriented in the cavity; a first limb supported by the riser; a second limb supported by the riser; a bowstring extending between the first limb and the second limb; and a data device comprising an accelerometer and a processor, the data device oriented in the cavity and contacting the flange.

15 . The archery bow of claim 14 , the grip comprising a window.

16 . The archery bow of claim 15 , the data device visible through the window.

17 . The archery bow of claim 16 , the data device comprising a display, the display visible through the window.

18 . The archery bow of claim 14 , the data device comprising a gyroscope.

19 . The archery bow of claim 14 , the data device comprising a first data device, the bow further comprising a second data device attached to the riser.

20 . The archery bow of claim 19 , a longitudinal axis of the first data device oriented nonparallel to a longitudinal axis of the second data device.
