Archery bow mounting systems with integrated brackets

Abstract

A portable archery bow apparatus can be transported to any of a plurality of locations to contact the ground and to provide support and stability while firing an arrow from the bow apparatus. The apparatus includes a bow and includes a support pole attached to a side of the bow. The bottom of the pole rests on the ground while the bow is utilized to fire an arrow. The pole permits the bow to be tilted fore and aft, and from side to side while the bow is positioned to fire an arrow from the bow.

 (i) supporting said portable support pole, 
 (ii) fixedly attaching said portable support pole directly to said central riser and spaced apart from said central riser such that said bow unit and said portable support pole move simultaneously in unison with said portable support pole remaining in fixed orientation with respect to said bow; and, 
 (iii) providing a first stabilizing fixed point of attachment for said portable support pole, 
   
       such that said portable support pole is positioned substantially completely beneath said hand grip and extends downwardly past said second lower limb. 
     
     
         2 . A portable archery bow apparatus for transport to any of a plurality of locations to contact the ground at a selected point to provide support and stability while firing an arrow from the bow apparatus, the bow apparatus comprising

 (i) supporting said portable support pole, 
 (ii) fixedly attaching said portable support pole directly to said central riser and spaced apart from said central riser such that said bow unit and said portable support pole move simultaneously in unison with said portable support pole remaining in fixed orientation with respect to said bow; and, 
 (iii) providing a first stabilizing fixed point of attachment for said portable support pole, 
 such that said portable support pole is positioned substantially completely beneath said hand grip and extends downwardly past said second lower limb; and, 
   IV. a pole stabilization configuration comprising an elongate arm interconnecting said support pole and said first mounting bracket.   
     
     
         3 . A portable archery bow apparatus for transport to any of a plurality of locations to contact the ground at a selected point to provide support and stability while firing an arrow from the bow apparatus, the bow apparatus comprising
 II. a portable bow unit comprising   (a) a central riser having
 (i) an upper portion, 
 (ii) a lower portion, 
 (iii) a front and a rear, and 
 (iv) a pair of sides; 
   (b) a hand grip on said central riser,   (c) a first upper limb connected to and extending outwardly from said upper portion of said riser;   (d) a second lower limb connected to and extending outwardly from said lower portion of said riser;   (e) rotatable members each mounted on one of said limbs and selected from a group consisting of wheels and cams;   II. only a single portable ground contacting support pole to contact the ground to provide stability while firing an arrow from said bow unit;   III. a first mounting bracket below said hand grip and intermediate said hand grip and said lower limb, said mounting bracket
 (i) supporting said portable support pole, 
 (ii) fixedly attaching said portable support pole directly to said central riser such that
 said portable support pole is spaced apart from said central riser, and 
 said bow unit and said pole move simultaneously in unison with said portable support pole remaining in fixed orientation with respect to said bow; and, 
 
 (iii) providing a first stabilizing fixed point of attachment for said pole such that said portable support pole is positioned substantially completely beneath said hand grip and extends downwardly past said second lower limb; and, 
   IV. a second mounting bracket
 (i) fixedly attaching said portable support pole directly to said lower portion of said central riser at a point below and spaced apart from
 said first mounting bracket to provide a second fixed stabilizing point of attachment for said pole, and 
 said central riser, 
 such that said bow unit and said portable support pole move simultaneously in unison, and 
 
 (ii) providing a second stabilizing fixed point of attachment for said portable support pole such that said pole is positioned substantially beneath said hand grip and extends downwardly past said second lower limb. 
   
     
     
         4 . A portable archery bow apparatus for transport to any of a plurality of locations to contact the ground at a selected point to provide support and stability while firing an arrow from the bow apparatus, the bow apparatus comprising
 I. a portable bow unit comprising   (a) a central riser having
 (i) an upper portion, 
 (ii) a lower portion, 
 (iii) a front and a rear, and 
 (iv) a pair of sides; 
   (b) a hand grip on said central riser,   (c) a first upper limb connected to and extending outwardly from said upper portion of said riser;   (d) a second lower limb connected to and extending outwardly from said lower portion of said riser;   (e) rotatable members each mounted on one of said limbs and selected from a group consisting of wheels and cams;   II. only a single portable ground contacting support pole to contact the ground to provide stability while firing an arrow from said bow unit;   Ill. a first mounting bracket below said hand grip and intermediate said hand grip and said lower limb, said mounting bracket
