A cable guide includes a rod support member which is pivotally and slidably mounted on a cable guard rod on a compound bow, and a cable receiver member which is selectively connected and disconnected from the rod support member along an axis which is orthogonal to both the cable guard rod, and the cables of the bow. The rod support member includes a pair of spaced apart rearwardly projecting loops extending rearwardly from upper and lower walls. The receiver is designed to snap fit between the loops and the rearward edges of the upper and lower walls of the rod support member. A roller is rotatably mounted on an axle which extends vertically between the upper and lower walls of the rod support member, for rotatable engagement with the guard rod. The cable receiver member includes a lightweight body with a pair of spaced apart slots extending rearwardly from a forward face of the body. The slots will receive the cables of the bow.

An arrow brake for attachment to the shaft of the archery arrow. The brake impedes and effectively prevents the released arrow from passing entirely through the body of a target impinged by the arrow. The brake includes a relatively thin and flexible ring for sleeved frictional engagement on the arrow shaft. Attached to and extending radially of and forwardly of the ring are annularly spaced wedge-shaped probes. Engagement of the probes within the body of the target causes the probes to pivot arcuately, upwardly and rearwardly, to define a segmented wall generally normal to the arrow shaft to impede travel of the arrow shaft through the target body. Stops integrally formed with the probes pivot with the latter and come to abut the surface of the arrow shaft rearwardly of the ring thus limiting further arcuate displacement of the probe elements. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the arrow-shaft-engaging inner annular surface of the ring is cylindrical. Distortion of the ring in response to bending forces applied thereto as the probes are arcuately pivoted causes the ring to twist and distort with the effect of reducing the effective inner diameter of the ring.

There is provided an adjustable archery arrow rest mounted on a threaded pressure button support shaft extending through and secured in a window wall of an archery bow. The arrow rest is formed with a unitary mounting yoke assembly including a pair of spaced parallel leg-like plates. An inner one of the plates is presented toward the window side wall of the bow. The opposed plates of the yoke assembly are formed with aligned transverse tapped bores into which the threaded button support shaft extends in threaded engagement. On their opposed inwardly-presented facing surfaces, the yoke plates are formed with cooperating fragmentary threaded sectors defining an inwardly tapering opening for receiving a mating bolt. Threaded advancement of a bolt into the tapered threaded opening forcibly urges the yoke arms apart, frictionally to stress engaged threads and to lock the yoke on the threaded pressure button support shaft. A downwardly extending outer plate of the yoke is reversely looped and carries an arrow rest at a generally upowardly directed terminus of the plate in a zone adjacent to a laterally-presented contact end of the pressure button.

A fixture for archery use, and the method of using the fixture for selectively and reproducibly positioning and orienting an arrow nock to be attached to the shaft of a fletched arrow. The fixture includes frame-carried elements for supporting a lineal section of an arrow shaft. An annularly adjustable, frame-mounted sleeve telescopingly receives, in keying relation therewith, a slotted end of an arrow nock. A nock-engaging end zone of a fletching-carrying shaft of an arrow, precoated with an adhesive, is inserted axially to seat contiguously within the sleeve, whereupon the arrow shaft is rotated to bring a reference fletching of the arrow shaft into alignment correlation with a rod-like guide pointer which overlies the frame-supported shaft.

In a slingshot which includes a handle-supported yoke including a pair of laterally spaced rods to which missile-projecting elastic bands are attached, the improvement comprising a pair of flexible tube segments sleeved over the elastic bands in a zone of attachment of the bands to the rods. The elastic sleeves constitute bend resisting elements and obviate sharp reverse folding of the elastic bands which normally occurs upon recoil of the bands following distension and release of the stretched elastic bands in projecting a projectile.

A target apparatus having a structure for receivingly stopping and holding arrows which target is pivotally attached to a support member and biased to an upright position whereby when an arrow is shot into the target, it will pivot backwardly to absorb some of the shock of the impact of the arrow and which will then return to its original position for the next shot without a need to manually reset the target. An oscillation dampening structure is also provided on the target to cause such target to return to its original position as soon as possible after an arrow is shot into it.

The present invention provides for a collapsible locking slingshot having a quick-release interchangeable band replacement safety system. The present invention also includes a self-centering, open-pocket slingshot pouch and a unique dual-tapered band. The slingshot collapses into a lockable case, improving the slingshot's safety, and enhancing the protection and longevity of the slingshot's components. The slingshot incorporates a unique shoot-over design in which the arms generally are parallel to the shooter's arm during operation.
