Hybrid Compound Bow Slingshot with Ammo Receiver and Hinged Handle

Abstract

A hybrid compound bow slingshot. The device utilizes a riser, bow limbs and string that are positioned in a plane perpendicular to the device handle such that the riser, bow limbs and string are horizontally disposed relative to the ground when in use. The handle may be hinged, and is hinged in the same plane as the riser, bow limbs and string. The device may include an arm brace that is offset to the vertical centerline of the handle, and the arm brace may be adjusted for left-handed or right-handed shooters. The device may be used with arrows, and may be configured to utilize shot with an ammo receiver positioned in the string.

         2 . A hybrid compound bow slingshot comprising:
 a riser with a center portion and two end portions;   a handle connected to the center portion of the riser;   two or more limbs connected to the riser at the end portions;   one or more cams mounted to each of the limbs; and   a bow string disposed around the cams.   
     
     
         3 . The bow of  claim 2  wherein the riser, the two or more limbs, the one or more cams, and the bow string are disposed within a common horizontal plane, the common horizontal plane being perpendicular to the handle. 
     
     
         4 . The bow of  claim 2  wherein the handle further comprises a forked portion with two arms, the arms hingedly connected to the center portion of the riser. 
     
     
         5 . The bow of  claim 2  wherein the riser further comprises a mount for accessories attached to the center portion of the riser. 
     
     
         6 . The bow of  claim 2  further comprising an arm brace wherein the arm brace is attached to the bottom of the handle.

         9 . The bow of  claim 2  further comprising an arrow rest attached to the center portion of the riser. 
     
     
         10 . The bow of  claim 2  further comprising stabilizing rods, the stabilizing rods being affixed within the riser and positioned under the horizontal plane of the string. 
     
     
         11 . A hybrid compound bow slingshot comprising:
 a riser with a center portion and two end portions;   a handle connected to the center portion of the riser;   two or more limbs connected to the riser at the end portions;   one or more cams mounted to each of the limbs; and   a bow string disposed around the cams and wherein the riser, the two or more limbs, the one or more cams, and the bow string are disposed within a common horizontal plane, the common horizontal plane being perpendicular to the handle, the handle further comprising a forked portion with two arms, the arms hingedly connected to the center portion of the riser such that the angle between the vertical axis of the handle and the common horizontal plane of the riser, two or more limbs, the one or more cams, and the bow string changes to accommodate the stance and draw of different shooters.   
     
     
         12 . The bow of  claim 11  wherein the riser further comprises a mount for accessories attached to the center portion of the riser. 
     
     
         13 . The bow of  claim 11  further comprising an arm brace wherein the arm brace is attached to the bottom of the handle.
