Abstract:
A mounting system for adjustably mounting a bow limb to a bow riser of an archery bow, said mounting system comprising:a riser mounting end of said bow riser having a mounting surface and a cavity below said mounting surface, said cavity having a pair of opposing cavity sidewalls parallel to a deflection plane of said archery bow;a limb inner end of said bow limb positioned immediately against said mounting surface of said riser mounting end, said limb inner end having means for pivoting said limb inner end relative to said riser mounting end about a limb pivot axis normal to said deflection plane of said archery bow, wherein a bottom surface of said limb inner end contacts said mounting surface of said riser mounting end when said limb inner end remains unpivoted; andan adjustable strut assembly having upper means for connecting to said limb inner end of said bow limb, said upper means adapted to laterally restrain said limb inner end relative to said adjustable strut assembly, central means for slidably and matingly engaging said pair of opposing cavity sidewalls, said central means connected to said upper means whereby said central means and said upper means together restrain said bow limb and said bow riser from lateral movement relative to each other, lower means for pivotally connecting to said riser mounting end of said bow riser wherein said adjustable strut assembly pivots about a strut pivot axis normal to said deflection plane of said archery bow, and means for adjusting the distance between said upper means and said strut pivot axis of said lower means whereby adjusting said means for adjusting varies an attachment angle between the bottom surface of said limb inner end of said bow limb and the mounting surface of said riser mounting end of said bow riser.
