Abstract:
A crossbow with string guides that include upper and lower helical power cable journals on opposite sides of a draw string journal. A separation between first and second axis of the string guides in a drawn configuration is about 5 inches to about 10 inches and the draw string in the drawn configuration comprises an included angle of less than about 25 degrees. First and second pairs of power cables wrap and unwrap at least 300 degrees around the respective first and second upper and lower helical power cable journals as the draw string moves between a released configuration to a drawn configuration.

Claim (Index 1):
A crossbow comprising:\n first and second flexible limbs attached to a center rail; a first string guide mounted to the first bow limb and rotatable around a first axis, the first string guide comprising a first, draw string journal having a first plane of rotation perpendicular to the first axis, and first upper and lower helical power cable journals on opposite sides of the first draw string journal; a second string guide mounted to the second bow limb and rotatable around a second axis, the second string guide comprising a second draw string journal having a second plane of rotation perpendicular to the second axis, and second upper and lower helical power cable journals on opposite sides of the second draw string journal; a draw string received in the first and second string guide journals in a reverse draw configuration with the draw string adjacent a down-range side when in a released configuration, wherein the draw string unwinds from the first and second string guide journals as it translates from the released configuration to a drawn configuration, wherein a separation between the first axis and the second axis in the drawn configuration is about 4 inches to about 10 inches and the draw string in the drawn configuration comprises an included angle of less than about 25 degrees; a pair of first power cables having first ends received in the first upper and lower helical power cable journals and second ends attached to static attachment points on the crossbow; and a pair of second power cables having first ends received in the second upper and lower helical power cable journals and second ends attached to static attachment points on the crossbow, wherein the first and second upper and lower helical power cable journals displace the pairs of power cables along the first and second axes relative to the first and second planes of rotation, respectively, and the first and second pairs of power cables wrap at least 300 degrees around the respective first and second upper and lower helical power cable journals as the drawstring is moved between the released configuration to the drawn configuration, and the first and second pairs of power cables unwrap at least 300 degrees from the respective first and second upper and lower helical power cable journals as the drawstring is moved between the drawn configuration to the released configuration.
