Archery Arm Guard

Abstract

The present invention provides for an attachment to an archery bow to prevent contact of the bowstring with the archer's bow-supporting arm. The attachment comprises an engagement portion that is attached to the bow and is adjustable to an individual archer's preferred position on the bow. The engagement portion includes a forearm engagement portion that is configured to create a single point of contact with the archer's forearm to enhance shooting performance and to prevent contact of the bowstring with the archer's bow-supporting aim.

1 . A device for attachment to an archery bow having a cable guard rod to prevent contact of the bowstring with the archer's bow-supporting arm, the device comprising:
 a cable guard securing assembly adjustably connected to said cable guard rod; and   an adjustment piece connected to said cable guard securing assembly, said adjustment piece having a forearm engagement portion and securing shaft portion, said extension arm portion adjustably connected to said cable guard securing assembly, said forearm engagement portion connected to said extension arm portion, said forearm engagement portion extending substantially perpendicularly away from said cable guard rod,   whereby the forearm engagement portion is configured to create a single point of contact with the archer's forearm to enhance shooting performance and to prevent contact of the bowstring with the archer's bow-supporting arm.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the forearm engagement portion is quasi-circular. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the extension arm portion extends away from the forearm engagement portion in a radially inward direction. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the cable guard securing assembly further comprises:
 an extension arm clamp assembly secured to the extension arm portion; and   a cable guard clamp assembly secured to the extension arm clamp assembly and the cable guard.   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the extension arm clamp assembly further comprises:
 an upper extension arm clamp section coupled to a lower extension arm clamp section and defining a first bore sized to engage the extension arm portion.   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the upper extension arm clamp section is secured to the lower extension arm clamp section by at least one set screw. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the cable guard clamp assembly further comprises:
 an upper cable guard clamp section coupled to a lower cable guard clamp section and defining a second bore sized to engage the cable guard.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the upper cable guard clamp section secured to the lower cable guard clamp section by at least one set screw. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the extension arm clamp assembly further comprises:
 an upper extension arm clamp section coupled to a lower extension arm clamp section and defining a first bore sized to engage the extension arm portion.   
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the upper extension arm clamp section is secured to the lower extension arm clamp section by at least one set screw. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the lower extension arm clamp section is secured to the upper cable guard clamp section such that the first bore and second bore are perpendicularly aligned. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the forearm engagement portion is quasi-circular. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein Extension arm portion extends away from the forearm engagement portion in a radially inward direction.
