Abstract:
A crossbow including a frame with a riser and a center trail. First and second flexible limbs are attached to the riser. A draw string is received in string guide journals in first and second cams rotatably attached to the frame. The draw string unwinds from the string guide journals as it translates between a released configuration and a drawn configuration. The first and second cams include at least first and second power cable take-up journals, respectively. At least first and second power cables are attached to the first and second limbs and received in the first and second power cable take-up journals, respectively. As the crossbow is drawn from the released configuration to the drawn configuration the first and second power cables wrap onto the respective first and second power cable take-up journals.

Claim (Index 16):
A crossbow comprising:\n a frame comprising a center rail; first and second flexible limbs attached to the frame; a first cam assembly mounted to the frame and rotatable around a first axis located a fixed distance from the center rail, the first cam assembly comprising a first draw string journal having a first plane of rotation perpendicular to the first axis, and a first helical power cable take-up journal comprising a path that is not co-planar with the first plane of rotation; a second cam assembly mounted to the frame and rotatable around a second axis located a fixed distance from the center rail, the second cam assembly comprising a second draw string journal having a second plane of rotation perpendicular to the second axis, and a second helical power cable take-up journal comprising a path that is not co-planar with the second plane of rotation; a draw string received in the draw string journals in a reverse draw configuration with the draw string adjacent a down-range side when in a released configuration and secured to the first and second cam assemblies, wherein the draw string unwinds from the draw string journals as it translates from a released configuration to a drawn configuration, wherein a separation between the first axis and the second axis is about 3 inches to about 8 inches and the draw string in the drawn configuration comprises an included angle of less than about 25 degrees; and first and second power cables having first ends received in the first and second helical power cable take-up journals, and second ends operatively coupled to the first and second flexible limbs, respectively; wherein the first and second helical power cable take-up journals displace the first and second power cables along the first and second axes relative to the first and second planes of rotation, respectively, and the first and second power cables wrap at least 270 degrees around the respective first and second helical power cable take-up journals as the drawstring is moved between the released configuration to the drawn configuration, and the first and second power cables unwrap at least 270 degrees from the respective first and second helical power cable take-up journals as the drawstring is moved between the drawn configuration to the released configuration.
