Abstract

The present inventive concept relates to a torque reduction apparatus configured to be easily attached to a front side of a compound bow and includes a finger gripping member that extends along a side of the compound bow. The torque reduction apparatus includes a U-shaped portion with one end attached to an attachment portion to be attached to the front side of a compound bow and a second end including a finger gripping member formed thereon, which extends along the side of a compound bow at an angle to receive outer fingers of a user when the attachment portion is attached to the front side of a compound bow and one hand of a user is gripping the compound bow and the finger gripping member simultaneously.

Claims (16)

1 . A compound bow attachment apparatus, comprising:

a U-shaped member having a middle portion, a first prong extending away from a first end of the middle portion at an angle of approximately 90 degrees, and a second prong extending away from a second end of the middle portion at an angle of approximately 110 degrees;

an attachment portion having one end thereof attached to a substantial portion of the first prong of the U-shaped member and having a hole extending therethrough an opposite end thereof to receive a threaded member therethrough to be threaded to a threaded hole formed into a front portion of a compound bow, the attachment portion being attached to the first prong at an angle such that when the attachment member is attached to the front portion of a compound bow the second prong of the U-shaped member extends upward and along a side of the compound bow; and

a finger gripping member disposed over the second prong of the U-shaped member, the finger gripping member being configured to receive at least two fingers of a hand of a user when a thumb and pointer finger of the user is gripping the compound bow.

2 . The compound bow attachment apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the angle at which the attachment portion is attached to the first prong of the U-shaped member is approximately 12 degrees from being in parallel with the first prong.

3 . The compound bow attachment apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the U-shaped member and the attachment portion are formed of one of a stainless steel or a carbon fiber.

4 . The compound bow attachment apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the finger gripping member is formed of a rubber material.

5 . The compound bow attachment apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the finger gripping member is formed of a foam material.

6 . The compound bow attachment apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the attachment portion is triangular in shape and the hole extending therethrough is disposed adjacent to one of three angles of the triangle.

7 . A torque reduction apparatus for a compound bow, comprising:

a U-shaped member having a first end extending away from a middle portion at an angle of approximately 90 degrees and a second end extending away from the middle portion at an angle greater than 90 degrees;

an attachment portion having a first side attached to the first end of the U-shaped member and having a hole extending through an opposite side of thereof to receive a threaded member therethrough to secure the attachment portion to a front portion of a compound bow, the attachment portion being attached to the first end of the U-shaped member at an angle slightly tilted with respect to first end of the U-shaped member; and

a finger gripping member disposed over the second end of the U-shaped member, the finger gripping member being configured to receive at least two fingers of a hand of a user when a thumb and pointer finger of the user grips the compound bow.

8 . The torque reduction apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the attachment portion is triangular in shape such that the first side is one side of the triangle and the opposite side is one of three angles of the triangle.

9 . The torque reduction apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the angle at which the attachment portion is attached to the first side of the U-shaped member is approximately 12 degrees from being in parallel with the first side and the second end of the U-shaped member extends away from the middle portion at an angle of approximately 110 degrees.

10 . The torque reduction apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the finger gripping member is formed of one of a foam material or a rubber material.
