The nature of the current invention is an archery device that uses what I
claim as Reverse Draw Technology. In essance, what this is, is pulling
the launch string of a bow or crossbow in the opposite direction that it
is pulled in all prior art. Pulling the launch string into the curve of
the opposing limbs, instead of away from them, allows for a longer power
stroke, thus increasing performance and allowing, if so chosen, a lower
draw weight, which translates to less noise at the same arrow speed.
Arrow speed is determined by the force required to pull the launch string
from an at rest position to the ready to fire position, and the distance
the string is pulled. This distance is called the power stroke. By
increasing the power stroke and decreasing the drawing force, comparable
arrow speed is achieved with much less noise and effort on the part of
the archer.
