Patent ID: 6994079

Claim:
A compound archery bow that includes: a handle having at least one projecting limb, a pulley mounted for rotation around an axis on said limb, and bow cable means including a bowstring cable segment extending from a bowstring let-out groove on said pulley, a second cable segment extending from second cable let-out means on said pulley, and a third cable segment extending from a cable take-up groove on said pulley, such that draw of said bowstring cable segment away from said handle withdraws said bowstring cable segment from said let-out groove and rotates said pulley around said axis, withdraws said second cable segment from said second cable let-out means and winds said third cable segment into said cable take-up groove, said cable take-up groove being such that draw force on said bowstring cable segment increases, as a function of bowstring cable segment draw away from said handle, to a first level and then decreases to a second level less than said first level and at which draw force remains substantially constant as a function of bowstring cable segment draw.
