Abstract:
Provided is a mid-limb cam crossbow system comprising a beam; a bow assembly having a first bow limb of length L1 and second bow limb of length L2; a first cam engaged with the first bow limb at a point between (0.15)L1 and (0.75)L1 from the limb end; a second cam engaged with the second bow limb at a point between (0.15)L2 and (0.75)L2 from the limb end; a first power string engaged with the first cam and a region on the second bow limb greater than (0.75)L2 from the limb end; a second power string engaged with the second cam and a region on the first bow limb greater than (0.75)L1 from the limb end; and a bowstring engaged between the first cam and the second cam. The bow assembly may be configured in an uncocked configuration or a cocked configuration. L1 and L2 are between 15 centimeters and 65 centimeters.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of using a mid-limb cam crossbow system comprising:\n providing a mid-limb cam crossbow system having\n an elongated main beam having a first beam end, and a second beam end opposite the first beam end, \n a bow assembly mounted to the main beam at the first beam end, the bow assembly having a pair of bow limbs defining opposite ends of said bow assembly, the pair of bow limbs being a first bow limb and a second bow limb, wherein\n the first bow limb has a proximate end and a distal end offset from the proximate end by a length L1, and \n the second bow limb has a proximate end and a distal end offset from the proximate end by a length L2, \n \n a first cam rotatably engaged with the first bow limb at a first pivot point offset from the proximate end of the first bow limb by a length between (0.15)L1 and (0.75)L1; \n a second cam rotatably engaged with the second bow limb at a second pivot point offset from the proximate end of the second bow limb by a length between (0.15)L2 and (0.75)L2, \n a first power string operatively engaged between the first cam and a region on the second bow limb offset from the proximate end of the second bow limb by a length of greater than (0.75)L2, \n a second power string operatively engaged between the second cam and a region on the first bow limb offset from the proximate end of the first bow limb by a length of greater than (0.75)L1, \n a bowstring adapted to propel an arrow, the bowstring operatively engaged between the first cam and the second cam, and \n wherein the bow assembly may be configured in\n a) an uncocked configuration in which,\n i) the bow assembly stores some residual energy, \n ii) the bowstring is located at a uncocked bowstring position along the main beam, or \n \n b) a cocked configuration in which,\n i) the bow assembly stores more than 75 foot pounds of energy greater than the residual energy, \n ii) the bowstring is located at a cocked bowstring position along the main beam which is more than 20 centimeters from the uncocked bowstring position, and \n \n \n wherein\n L1 is between 15 centimeters and 65 centimeters, and \n L2 is between 15 centimeters and 65 centimeters; \n \n changing the bow assembly from a uncocked configuration to a cocked configuration by an operation comprising the steps of\n a) moving the bowstring from the uncocked bowstring position to the cocked bowstring position, and \n b) storing energy in the bow assembly of more than 75 foot pounds of energy greater than the residual energy.
