Abstract

Claims (58)

1. An archery assembly comprising:

a mount portion comprising:

a face surface; and

a first dovetail structure defining a first dovetail track extending along a first adjustment axis, wherein the mount portion is configured to be mounted to a bow riser, wherein the mount portion is configured so that, when the mount portion is positioned in a vertical orientation when mounted to the bow riser:

(a) the face surface is at least partially in contact with a rear surface of the bow riser; and

(b) the first dovetail track extends vertically;

a support portion that is supported by the mount portion, wherein the support portion comprises a second dovetail structure defining a second dovetail track extending along a second adjustment axis, wherein the second adjustment axis differs from the first adjustment axis; and

an arrow holder supported by the support portion, wherein the arrow holder is configured to support an arrow.

2. The archery assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the first dovetail track comprises a plurality of first slide surfaces that are spaced apart from each other; and

the second dovetail track comprises a plurality of second slide surfaces that are spaced apart from each other.

3. The archery assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the first adjustment axis extends parallel to a first adjustment plane;

the second adjustment axis extends parallel to a second adjustment plane; and

the second adjustment plane differs from the first adjustment plane.

4. The archery assembly of claim 1 , wherein the arrow holder is configured to be moved relative to the mount portion along the second adjustment axis.

5. The archery assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second adjustment axis extends horizontally when the mount portion is positioned in the vertical orientation when mounted to the bow riser.

6. The archery assembly of claim 1 , wherein the face surface of the mount portion comprises a flat surface configured to mount flush with the rear surface of the bow riser.

7. An archery assembly comprising:

a mount portion comprising:

a face surface; and

a first dovetail structure extending along a first adjustment axis, wherein when the mount portion is positioned in a vertical orientation and mounted to a bow riser:

(a) the face surface is configured to at least partially contact a rear surface of the bow riser; and

(b) the first adjustment axis extends vertically;

a support portion that is supported by the mount portion, wherein the support portion comprises a second dovetail structure extending along a second adjustment axis, wherein the second adjustment axis differs from the first adjustment axis; and

an arrow holder supported by the support portion, wherein the arrow holder is configured to support an arrow.

8. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein:

the first dovetail structure defines a first dovetail track; and

the second dovetail structure defines a second dovetail track.

9. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein:

the first adjustment axis extends parallel to a first adjustment plane;

the second adjustment axis extends parallel to a second adjustment plane; and

the second adjustment plane differs from the first adjustment plane.

10. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first dovetail structure comprises a plurality of first slide surfaces spaced apart from each other.

11. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein the second dovetail structure comprises a plurality of second slide structures spaced apart from each other.

12. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein the arrow holder is configured to be adjustably moved relative the support portion along the second adjustment axis.

13. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein the second adjustment axis extends horizontally when the mount portion is positioned in the vertical orientation when mounted to the bow riser.

14. The archery assembly of claim 7 , wherein the face surface of the mount portion comprises a flat surface configured to mount flush with the rear surface of the bow riser.

15. A method for manufacturing an archery assembly, the method comprising:

structuring a mount portion to:

comprise a face surface and a first dovetail structure extending along a first adjustment axis,

be mounted to a bow riser,

structuring the mount portion to be positioned in a vertical orientation when mounted to the bow riser so that the first adjustment axis extends vertically when the mount portion is in the vertical orientation;

structuring the face surface to be at least partially brought into contact with a rear surface of the bow riser;

structuring a support portion to be supported by the mount portion and to comprise a second dovetail structure extending along a second adjustment axis, wherein the second adjustment axis of the second dovetail structure differs from the first adjustment axis; and

structuring an arrow holder to:

be supported by the support portion; and

support an arrow.

16. The method of claim 15 , comprising:

structuring the first dovetail structure to comprise a first dovetail track; and

structuring the second dovetail structure to comprise a second dovetail track.

17. The method of claim 15 , comprising structuring the first and second dovetail structures so that:

the first adjustment axis extends parallel to a first adjustment plane;

the second adjustment axis extends parallel to a second adjustment plane; and

the second adjustment plane differs from the first adjustment plane.

18. The method of claim 15 , comprising structuring the first dovetail structure to comprise a plurality of first slide surfaces spaced apart from each other.

19. The method of claim 15 , comprising structuring the second dovetail structure to comprise a plurality of second slide structures spaced apart from each other.

20. The method of claim 15 , comprising structuring the arrow holder to move relative support portion along the second adjustment axis.
