Manufacturing a handle for an archery bow is simplified by extruding a strip having the side to side cross-sectional shape of the handle, cutting the strip into blanks, and machining each blank according to the front to rear outline desired for each handle. Many differently shaped handles can be made from the same shape blanks.

A crossbow has a riser, flexible limbs, a bowstring extending between the tips of the limbs for propelling an arrow, and an elongated frame extending from the riser. A bowstring release proximate the rear end of the elongated frame includes a trigger for releasing the bowstring, and firing an arrow. A first grip is disposed proximate to the trigger for being grasped by the user's first hand. A “Picatinny” type support rail extends along and below the elongated frame, secured at its rearmost end to the elongated frame, but otherwise spaced therefrom. The support rail can receive fore-grips, a bi-pod, or can be rested against a support surface to help steady the crossbow during firing.

A crossbow accessory for coupling to a modular lower receiver of a rifle includes an elongated frame coupled to a riser at a first end, and coupled above the lower receiver at its second end. An upper housing secured to the second end of the frame includes a rope spool and winding gears for retracting the bowstring toward a drawn position. A rope extends from the rope spool to a bowstring release for retracting the bowstring. The bowstring release is retracted into the upper housing proximate the modular lower receiver for selectively releasing the bowstring when a user pulls the trigger of the lower receiver. A method for creating a crossbow using the modular lower receiver is also disclosed.

In an archery bow having a central riser and a separate grip, the grip is made adjustable from side to side by making the width of the channel down the back of the grip greater than the thickness of the riser. Spacers or shims are located between one side of the riser and the grip for adjusting the grip from side to side only. Since the hand of the archer extends around both the grip and the riser, as the grip is moved to the side, the effect is a rotation of the archer's hold on the bow without actually rotating the grip.

The fork in the limb of a compound archery bow is reinforced with a collar having a flange for stiffening the collar and fitting within the fork. The flange is glued to the inside of the fork to strengthen the joint between the rest of the collar and the fork. A hole in a limb is reinforced with a cylindrical flange having an annular disk extending over a major surface of the limb. Both the cylindrical flange and the disk are glued to the limb.

In an archery bow having a central riser and a separate grip, the grip is made adjustable from side to side by making the width of the channel down the back of the grip greater than the thickness of the riser. The grip is adjusted from side to side by spacers or shims located between one side of the riser and the grip or by adjusting screws on opposite sides of the grip. Since the hand of the archer extends around both the grip and the riser, as the grip is moved to the side, the effect is a rotation of the archer's hold on the bow without actually rotating the grip.
