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 17):
A method of operating a crossbow comprising the steps of:\n locating a draw string in first and second draw string journals on first and second cams mounted to first and second flexible limbs attached to a center rail in a reverse draw configuration with the draw string adjacent a down-range side when in a released configuration, the first and second draw string journals having first and second planes of rotation that are perpendicular to first and second axes of rotation, respectively, and first and second upper and lower helical power cable take-up journal on opposite sides of the first and second draw string journals comprising paths that are not co-planar with the first and second planes of rotation; translating the draw string from the released configuration to a drawn configuration so the draw string unwinds from the draw string journals as the first and second cams rotate around the first and second axes, wherein a separation between the first and second axes in the drawn configuration is about 3 inches to about 8 inches and the draw string in the drawn configuration comprises an included angle of less than about 15 degrees: wrapping first and second pairs of power cables more than 270 degrees onto the first and second upper and lower helical power cable take-up journals as the draw string translates from the released configuration to the drawn configuration, the first and second pairs of power cables having first ends attached to the first and second cams and second ends attached to static attachment points on the crossbow; displacing the first and second pairs of power cables along the first and second axes relative the first and second planes of rotation as the bow string is translated from the released configuration to the drawn configuration; and unwrapping the first and second pairs of power cables more than 270 degrees from first and second upper and lower helical power cable take-up journals as the draw string translates from the drawn configuration to the released configuration.
