Compound bow with quiver behind riser

Abstract

A compound bow includes a riser having a left face, a right face, and a rear face between the left face and the right face. A mounting bore extends through the rear face. The mounting bore is spaced from the left face and the right face. A quiver has a rod that is releasably engaged to the riser in the mounting bore. The quiver has a base and a hood supported by the base. The base is supported on the riser by the rod.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A compound bow comprising:
 a riser having a left face, a right face, and a rear face between the left face and the right face;   a mounting bore through the rear face, the mounting bore being spaced from the left face and the right face;   a quiver having a rod, the rod being releasably engaged to the riser in the mounting bore;   the quiver having a base and a hood supported by the base, the base being supported on the riser by the rod.   
     
     
         2 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the mounting bore and rod have matching profiles. 
     
     
         3 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the rod is elongated along an axis and the mounting bore slideably receives the rod with the rod rotationally fixed relative to the riser about the axis. 
     
     
         4 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the hood is configured to store multiple arrows. 
     
     
         5 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a bow string, the rear face of the riser facing the bow string. 
     
     
         6 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 5 , wherein the quiver is positioned along a fore-and-aft axis of the riser between the rear face of the riser and the bow string. 
     
     
         7 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the riser is elongated along a longitudinal axis, the mounting bore being elongated along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the riser. 
     
     
         8 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 7 , wherein the base and the hood are spaced from each other along the longitudinal axis of the riser. 
     
     
         9 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the riser is elongated along a longitudinal axis and the base and the hood are spaced from each other along the longitudinal axis of the riser. 
     
     
         10 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the riser has a handle below the mounting bore. 
     
     
         11 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the riser includes an arrow rest below the handle. 
     
     
         12 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the riser includes a front face between the left face and the right face, the mounting bore extending through the front face of the riser. 
     
     
         13 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a sight spaced from mounting bore on the riser. 
     
     
         14 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , further comprising a cable guard spaced from the mounting bore on the riser. 
     
     
         15 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the quiver includes a spine supported by the rod, the hood of the quiver being supported on the spine. 
     
     
         16 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 15 , wherein the riser is elongated along a longitudinal axis and the spine is elongated along the longitudinal axis of the riser. 
     
     
         17 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 15 , wherein the quiver includes a rack supported by the rod below hood, the rack configured to store multiple arrows. 
     
     
         18 . A compound bow comprising:
 a riser having a left face, a right face, and a rear face between the left face and the right face;   a mounting bore through the rear face, the mounting bore being spaced from the left face and the right face;   the mounting bore being designed to receive a rod of a quiver, the quiver having a base and a hood supported by the base, the base being supported on the riser by the rod when the rod is received in the mounting bore.   
     
     
         19 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 18 , wherein the riser has a handle below the mounting bore. 
     
     
         20 . The compound bow as set forth in  claim 18 , wherein the riser includes an arrow rest below the handle.
