Abstract:
1. An archery training device that attaches to a bow and consists of a pneumatic tube with a substitute arrow attached to a bow string on one end, and a piston on the other end, and as the string is drawn back and released, the substitute arrow and piston drives forward into the pneumatic tube, the piston fits inside the diameter of the tube tight enough to create resistance, which lets the bowstring down slow enough as to not damage the bow, and the forward driving piston causes a considerable air blast which is channeled through a small hole in an end plug of the tube; ahead of the plug there is second section of tubing that houses a small laser with an on/off button and this laser is secured at a forward end to the second section of tubing; a hollow sleeve with one closed end fits over a back end of the laser, and there is a lever affixed to the sleeve that protrudes on the outside of the second section of tubing, so the archer can pull back on the lever which slides the sleeve over the on/off button on the laser housing, which depress the button and turns on the laser, which projects an intense light on the intended target by which the archer can then practice aiming and firing a bow without arrows and without damage to the bow or injury to the archer.
