Abstract:
The present invention provides for in one embodiment an archery exerciser training device designed to eliminate or minimize target panic, develop muscle memory, and warn up muscles before using a bow and arrow. The training device consists of a cylindrical tube with an attached handle. Within the tube is a gas compression spring with integrated plungers mounted on either end. Each plunger further includes an axle on which two wheels are opposingly mounted. A cable is mounted to one plunger at the distal end of the device and the cable travels in a zig-zag fashion around the four wheels and out of the plunger at the proximal end of the device and terminates in a loop, thereby creating a pulley system. The exposed loop of the cable is pulled in a rearward direction, approximating the motions made when drawing a bowstring. When the exposed loop is pulled, the distal plunger is forced rearward, thereby compressing the gas spring and creating an opposing force approximately equal to a typical draw weight of a bowstring. When the cable is released, the gas spring extends, pushing the distal plunger forward, and pulling the exposed cable back within the cylindrical tube in a safe and controlled manner. The process may be repeated over and over as necessary to sufficiently develop and train the archer's shooting muscles, and to warm up the muscles prior to shooting.
