Archery bow string stop
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.
