A leveraged bow for launching a projectile, the bow having a stock, a butt region and a grip region, and a fore-end supporting a pair of bow arms. The fore-end includes a top surface for receiving and supporting the projectile and a carriage assembly slidably mounted with an interior region of the fore-end. A main bow power string is coupled to the carriage. The carriage also has a launch string associated therewith which is powered by the movement of the main bow power string. A trigger and latch are used to release the bow power string and, in turn, the launch string to leverage the velocity of the arrow being propelled by the bow. |

1. A bow for launching a projectile, comprising:
a stock having a butt region and a grip region; a fore-end extending longitudinally from the butt region of the stock, the fore-end terminating in a pair of oppositely extending bow limbs which are connected at outer extents thereof by a main power string of the bow, the fore-end also having an upper surface for receiving and supporting the projectile; an acceleration mechanism located in an interior region of the fore-end, the mechanism including a launch string separate from the main power string, the launch string having a traveling end which engages the projectile for propelling the projectile as the main bow string moves between a cocked position and a released position; the main bow string being operatively coupled to the launch string for propelling the launch string in leveraged fashion, movement of the main bow string causing acceleration of the launch string, which, in turn, causes the projectile to be launched from the upper surface of the body portion of the bow with increased velocity. |
