US12687370 - Operational structure and methods for torsion-driven, counter acting block and tackle type energy storage and deployment systems

An operating system of an arrow launching device utilizes the combination of a speed-limited winch together with a nock-release and passive fall away arrow rest within torsion-driven compact arrow launching devices that employ counter-acting block and tackle propulsion. The system enables a novel method of cocking, firing and de-cocking that improves safety, enhances reliability and increases efficiency.

US12650285 - Molded arrow assembly

A molded arrow assembly preferably includes an insert and an outsert for an arrow or an insert/outsert assembly. The molded arrow assembly may include an insert having a cylindrical body with a first end and a second end. The second end may be dimensioned to fit within a bore of an arrow shaft. The first end may terminate in a prong containing male threads. The insert/outsert assembly may also include an outsert having a cylindrical wall with an arrow shaft end and an arrowhead end. The cylindrical wall may also include a center bore extending between the arrow shaft end and the arrowhead end. The center bore may contain a threaded region containing female threads. The threaded region may be located intermediate of the arrowhead end and the arrow shaft end and may extend between a top shoulder and a bottom shoulder.

US12644683 - Archery arrow and related method of manufacture

An archery arrow is provided to include a shaft that is tubular and includes an exterior surface and an opposing interior surface, with an insert secured to the shaft. The insert can define a hole configured to join a component, for example, a broadhead with the arrow. The hole can be round and concentric with the exterior surface of the shaft, and in some cases non-concentric with the interior surface. The insert can be adhered to the shaft and later machined to define the hole to provide the concentricity of the hole and the shaft exterior or an associated outer diameter. When a component such as a broadhead is joined with the arrow via installation in the hole, the component can be centered relative to the shaft exterior. A related method of manufacturing an arrow is provided.

US12578171 - Expandable broadhead for arrow

A broadhead for an archery bow. The broadhead includes a member, a first blade, a second blade, and a magnet. The first blade and the second blade are coupled to the member. The first blade and the second blade form a plane. The magnet is at least partially disposed within the member. In some examples, the magnet has a longitudinal axis extending perpendicular to the plane. In some examples, each of the first and second blades have respective cutout regions interfacing the magnet while the broadhead is in a first configuration and/or a second configuration.

US12553916 - System for measuring skew and speed of an arrow

An archery tuning apparatus includes two light detection units, each comprising a line laser source emitting a planar fan of laser light and a curved array of spaced-apart light sensors. The units are configured with parallel laser fans, creating an overlap target region when viewed along a normal axis. The curved sensor arrays, with radii of curvature approximating their irradiation distances, optimize detection accuracy. Integrated circuitry and software collect and analyze data from arrows shot through the target region during tuning sessions. The apparatus connects to a mobile device, which stores and displays tuning session information through a dedicated app. This system provides archers with precise measurements of arrow speed and skew, offering advantages over traditional paper tuning methods. The mobile interface allows for easy data management, equipment tracking, and remote technical assistance, enhancing the overall archery tuning experience.
