  "claims": [
    "1. A device mount, the device mount comprising: a support plate adapted to support a device resting thereon, the support plate having a plurality of mounting apertures passing there through; and a threaded attaching portion coupled to an end of the support plate, the threaded attaching portion adapted to selectively engage a threaded recess of a structure.",
    "2. The device mount of claim 1, wherein the threaded attaching portion is adapted to threadably engage a counterweight bar threaded insert of a bow.",
    "3. The device mount of claim 1, wherein the plurality of apertures are adapted to allow a thumb screw to be passed there through to engage a threaded recess in the device.",
    "4. The device mount of claim 1, further comprising: a neck portion positioned between the support plate and the threaded attaching portion.",
    "5. The device mount of claim 1, further comprising: a nut having internal threads adapted to engage the threaded screw portion, the nut adapted to secure the device mount to the structure.",
    "6. The device mount of claim 1, wherein the structure is a weapon.",
    "7. A device mount, the device mount comprising: a support portion having an engaging surface adapted to support a device, the support portion having at least one mounting aperture passing there through; a neck portion extending from an end of the support potion; and a threaded attaching portion extending from the neck portion.",
    "8. The device mount of claim 7, wherein the neck portion is a tapered neck portion having a first end extending from the support potion and a second end upon which the threaded attaching portion extends from, the first end of the neck portion being larger than the second end.",
    "9. The device mount of claim 7, wherein the at least one mounting aperture is a plurality of mounting apertures.",
    "10. The device mount of claim 7, wherein the threaded attaching portion is adapted to threadably engage a threaded bore in a structure.",
    "11. The device mount of claim 10, wherein the structure is a bow and the threaded bore is a threaded counterweight bar insert.",
    "12. The device mount of claim 7, wherein each of the mounting apertures are adapted to allow a thumb screw to be passed there through to engage a threaded recess in the device.",
    "13. The device mount of claim 7, further comprising: a nut having internal threads adapted to engage the threaded attaching portion, wherein the nut secures the device mount to the bow at a desired position.",
    "14. The device mount of claim 7, wherein the support portion is in the form of a relatively flat plate.",
    "15. The device mount of claim 7, further comprising: a thumb screw adapted to pass through the at least one mounting aperture to coupled a device to the support portion.",
    "16. The device mount of claim 7, wherein the device is at least one of a video camera, a sound producing device and a rangefinder.",
    "17. The device mount of claim 7, wherein the support portion has a thickness between and including 0.300 and 0.320 inches.",
    "18. The device mount of claim 7, wherein generally an equal amount of weight of the device mount is position on either side of a center of weight axis of the device mount.",
    "19. A method of attaching a device to a structure, the method comprising: engaging external threads of a device mount to internal threads in a bore of the structure; placing a device on support surface of a support portion of the device mount; aligning a threaded recess in the device with one of a plurality of mounting apertures that pass through the support portion such that the device is positioned in a desired location in relation to the device mount; and securing the device to the device mount via one of the mounting apertures that passes through the support portion.",
    "20. The method of claim 19, further comprising: positioning the mount at a desired rotational position in relation to the structure; and securing the mount in the desired location with a nut.",
    "21. The method of claim 19, wherein the structure is a bow and the bore is a counterweight bar insert.",
    "22. The method of claim 19, wherein securing the device to the mount, further comprises: inserting an externally threaded thumb screw through the one mounting aperture; and threadably engaging internal threads in a recess in the device with the externally threaded thumb screw.",
    "23. The method of claim 19, further comprising: adjusting the position of the device on the device plate to center a weight distribution of the device."
