1. An archery sensory feedback system for use with a hand of a user, the hand having a pad projecting from a wrist and fingers projecting from the pad, the pad having an inside palm face and an opposing back side, the system comprising:
- an archery glove configured for placement on the hand of the user, the archery glove comprising;
one or more finger sleeves, each of the one or more finger sleeves configured to cover at least a distal portion of a finger of the hand when the archery glove is properly fitted on the hand;
a wrist strap that is disposed at least partially circumferentially around the wrist of the use when the glove is properly fitted on the hand; and
a pad cover extending between the one or more finger sleeves and the wrist strap, wherein the pad cover is configured to extend only over at least a portion of the back side of the pad of the hand so that no part of the archery glove extends over the inside palm face of the hand when the glove is properly fitted on the hand;
at least one sensor disposed on the archery glove, the at least one sensor comprising a load sensor or a motion sensor that generates a use signal during use;
a computer processor in electrical communication with the at least one sensor;
non-transitory memory in electrical communication with the computer processor; and
an output device in electrical communication with the computer processor and configured to generate a notice when activated;
wherein the non-transitory memory is loaded with executable code that when executed by the computer processor performs the following functions;
stores a predetermined value in the non-transitory memory;
compares a value generated from the use signal produced by the at least one sensor to the predetermined value; and
transmits a notice signal to the output device based on the comparison between the value generated and the predetermined value.

Abstract
An archery training method includes measuring a load applied to a bow hand holding a bow or applied to a release hand drawing a bow string of the bow, the measuring being performed while the bow string is drawn to a cocked positioned for firing an arrow; comparing through a computer processor the measured load to a predetermined value; and activating an output device to generate a notice based on the comparison between the measured load and the predetermined value.

13. An archery sensory feedback system for use with a hand of a user, the hand having a pad and fingers, the fingers including a thumb and an index finger, that project from the pad, the pad having an inside palm face and an opposing back side, the system comprising:
-
a glove configured for placement on the hand of the user, the glove having a front side that is designed to cover at least a portion of the inside palm face of the hand when the glove is properly fitted on the hand and a back side designed to cover at least a portion of the back side of the pad of the hand when the glove is properly fitted on the hand; a first load sensor disposed on at least a portion of the front side of the glove and on at least a portion of the back side of the glove so that when the glove is worn on the hand of the user, the first load sensor is disposed between the index finger and the thumb and overlays at least a portion of the inside palm face of the hand and at least a portion of the back side of the pad of the hand; and an electronic controller disposed on the glove and being configured to process signals from the first load sensor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An archery sensory feedback system for use with a hand of a user, the hand having a pad and fingers that project from the pad, the pad having an inside palm face and an opposing back side, the system comprising:
-
a glove configured for placement on the hand of the user; a first sensor disposed at least partially on a back side of the glove, so as to overlay at least a portion of the back side of the pad of the hand when the glove is properly fitted on the hand, the first sensor comprising a load sensor or a motion sensor that generates a use signal during use; a computer processor in electrical communication with the at least one sensor; non-transitory memory in electrical communication with the computer processor; and an output device in electrical communication with the computer processor and configured to generate a notice when activated; wherein the non-transitory memory is loaded with executable code that when executed by the computer processor performs the following functions; stores a predetermined value in the non-transitory memory; compares a value generated from the use signal produced by the at least one sensor to the predetermined value; and transmits a notice signal to the output device based on the comparison between the value generated and the predetermined value. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
