主权项

1. A riser assembly for a bow, the riser assembly comprising:
a riser comprising:
(a) a front configured to face in a forward direction toward a target;(b) a rear located opposite of the front, the rear configured to face in a rearward direction away from the target;(c) a first stiffener mount; and(d) a second stiffener mount; and a riser stiffener comprising:
(a) a first coupler configured to couple to the first stiffener mount; and(b) a second coupler configured to couple to the second stiffener mount; wherein when the riser stiffener is coupled to the riser before the riser is subject to a bow draw force, the riser stiffener exerts a riser force acting in the forward direction on the riser, and wherein, when the riser is subject to the bow draw force, the riser force at least partially counteracts the bow draw force to reduce bending in the riser.
