Abstract

In at least one embodiment, an archery bow grip comprises a body portion comprising a first wall and an opposed second opposed wall. A connecting wall spans between the first wall and the second wall. The body portion defines a groove between an inner surface of said first wall and an inner surface of second wall. The groove defines a central axis, and the connecting wall comprises a ridge having a peak that extends parallel to the central axis of the groove. The peak is desirably straight along its length.

Claims (27)

1. An archery bow grip comprising:

a body portion comprising a first wall and an opposed second wall, a connecting wall spanning between the first wall and the second wall, the body portion defining a groove between an inner surface of said first wall and an inner surface of second wall, the groove defining a central axis;

the connecting wall comprising a ridge having a first portion and a second portion that meet at a peak, said peak extending parallel to the central axis of the groove, said peak being straight along its length, said first portion and said second portion each being non-concave with respect to said central axis.

2. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein said inner surface of said first wall is parallel to said inner surface of said second wall.

3. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the connecting wall defines said ridge and an inner surface of the connecting wall defines said groove.

4. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein said first portion is flat and said second portion is flat.

5. The archery bow grip of claim 4 , wherein an angle between the first portion and the second portion is 130 to 140 degrees.

6. The archery bow grip of claim 4 , wherein an angle between the first portion and the second portion is approximately 135 degrees.

7. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein said first portion and said second portion each comprise curvature that is convex with respect to said central axis.

8. The archery bow grip of claim 7 , wherein said curvature is elliptical.

9. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein said first wall comprises a portion that is thicker than said second wall.

10. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of said first wall comprises curvature.

11. The archery bow grip of claim 10 , wherein said curvature is convex with respect to said groove.

12. The archery bow grip of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said peak is different from the remainder of said connecting wall.

13. The archery bow grip of claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of said peak comprises a different material than the remainder of said connecting wall.

14. The archery bow grip of claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of said peak comprises a different color than the remainder of said connecting wall.

15. An archery bow comprising:

a riser, opposed limbs and a bowstring extending between said limbs; and

a grip attached to said riser, said grip comprising a wall oriented between said riser and said bowstring, said wall comprising a ridge having a first portion and a second portion that meet at a peak, the peak being straight along its length, said first portion and said second portion each being non-concave with respect to a portion of said riser located under said grip;

wherein said bow defines a plane, said bowstring moving in said plane when the bow is drawn, said peak oriented in said plane.

16. The archery bow of claim 15 , wherein said first portion is flat and said second portion is flat.

17. The archery bow of claim 16 , wherein an angle between the first flat portion and the second flat portion is 130 to 140 degrees.

18. The archery bow of claim 16 , wherein an angle between the first flat portion and the second flat portion is approximately 135 degrees.

19. The archery bow of claim 15 , wherein said first and second portions are each convex with respect to said portion of said riser located under said grip.

20. An archery bow comprising:

a riser, opposed limbs and a bowstring extending between said limbs, said riser comprising a grip comprising a surface that faces the bowstring, the surface comprising a peak oriented between a first flat portion and a second flat portion, the first flat portion being non-parallel to the second flat portion;

wherein said bow defines a plane, said bowstring moving in said plane when the bow is drawn, said peak oriented in said plane.
