Patent attributes
A cam assembly for an archery bow comprises: a journal for letting out a draw cable as the bow is drawn and the cam assembly rotates; a take-up mechanism for taking up a first power cable; and a let-out mechanism for letting out a second power cable. A second similar cam assembly comprises: a journal for letting out the draw cable; a take-up mechanism for taking up the second power cable; and a let-out mechanism for letting out the first power cable. Draw force versus draw distance for the bow is at least in part determined by: relative rates of take-up and let-out of the first power cable by the first and second cam assemblies, respectively; and relative rates of take-up and let-out of the second power cable by the second and first cam assemblies, respectively.
