Abstract

In the field of archery, draw length adjustment is currently accomplished by interchangeable cams or cam adjustment while the handgrip remains fixed. To accommodate for shorter draw lengths, smaller cams are used which can reduce arrow velocity and overall bow performance. The Great Equalizer is a riser system that can be incorporated into any archery bow design and consists of various fixed positions that utilizes a movable handgrip that can be locked in place at any of the positions to compensate for the bow user's draw length without having to adjust the cams that can inhibit a bow's performance.

    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING
  • FIG. 1A: This is a side view of the invention. The riser can be added to almost any bow design to allow handle to be moved to various fixed positions compensating for different draw lengths.
  • FIG. 1B: This is a rear view of the riser. It shows offset of riser from the frame to allow for hand clearance.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention is a riser that takes the place of the currently used immobile archery bow handles. As seen in FIG. 1A the riser has a set of positions that the handle can be moved to and fixed in place. The size of the riser and material comprising it are entirely up to the bow manufacturer. The riser is offset from the bow frame as shown in FIG. 1B to allow for hand clearance.
