Archery bow with fishing peel supporting bracket

A device for removably attaching various types of commercial fishing spinning reels to conventional archery bows for use in any sport or activity where a retrievable arrow must be used connected to a line, one end of which is attached to the arrow and the other end to a reel on the bow. Both the reel and the bow may be later easily separated and used for their original purpose, but while assembled as a unit, form a system of proved economy and efficiency, for instance, in fishing with the bow either under or above salt or fresh water. The adapter device of the present invention includes three parts: (a), a first, vertical mounting bracket for attaching the device to the bow; (b) an intermediate, horizontal, transverse section; and (c) a second, horizontal mounting bracket upon which is mounted the standard fishing spinning reel through its standard foot mount. The second, horizontal bracket includes at its leading edge a lateral slot and at its trailing edge a compressive screw tab, both of which directly mate with the leading and trailing tips of the standard foot mount of the spinning reel. The adapter has slots that are used to receive straps that are for attaching the adapter to a bow.
