An archery limb control system, method and bow are described herein. The archery limb control system, in an embodiment, includes a motion generator configured to be supported by an archery bow, and the system includes one or more flexible lines configured to be coupled to the limbs of the bow. The system also includes a support configured to support the one or more flexible lines, and the system includes a gear coupled to the support.

A crossbow including a center rail including a rail body and a riser, a first flexible limb coupled to the riser, a second flexible limb coupled to the riser, and a first cam mounted to the first flexible limb and rotatable around a first cam axis. The first cam including a first draw string journal defining a first draw string plane of rotation perpendicular to the first cam axis, and a first power cable take-up journal extending in a direction perpendicular to the first draw string plane of rotation. The crossbow further including a second cam mounted to the second flexible limb and rotatable around a second cam axis. The second cam including a second draw string journal defining a second plane of rotation perpendicular to the second cam axis, and a second power cable take-up journal extending in a direction perpendicular to the second draw string plane of rotation.

Briefly, an adapter assembly, such as for use with a bow press that may be utilized to retain a bow, such as a compound bow, may include (among other things) an insert at a first end portion of the bow press for inclusion within an opening of the bow press. The adapter assembly may additionally include an arm that abuts the insert, and may further include an axle and bushing to accommodate a first bracket, the first bracket to exert a compressive force on at least one limb of a bow while the bow is placed between the first bracket and a second bracket at a second end portion opposite the first end portion. The arm may extend in a direction toward the second end portion.

A crossbow including a center rail including a rail body and a riser, a first flexible limb coupled to the riser, a second flexible limb coupled to the riser, and a first cam mounted to the first flexible limb and rotatable around a first cam axis, and including a first draw string journal defining a first draw string plane of rotation perpendicular to the first cam axis, and a first power cable take-up journal extending in a direction perpendicular to the first draw string plane of rotation. The crossbow including a second cam mounted to the second flexible limb and rotatable around a second cam axis. The second cam including a second draw string journal defining a second draw string plane of rotation perpendicular to the second cam axis, and a second power cable take-up journal extending in a direction perpendicular to the second draw string plane of rotation.

A bow capable of replacing the cable more easily is provided. A bow, includes: a bow body; a plurality of string cams around which each of both ends of a string for nocking an arrow is wound, the string cams being rotated when the string is drawn; a plurality of cable cams around which each of both ends of an elastically deformable cables is wound, each of the cable cams being rotated interlockingly with each of the string cams to elastically deform the cables; and a plurality of holders, each of the holders having a base portion pivotably held on each of both ends of the bow body and an end portion for rotatably holding each of the cable cams.

An archery compound bow cam cover and sling device is disclosed. The cam cover and sling device can include two cam covers operable to at least partially cover cams of a compound bow. The cam cover and sling device can also include two limb tensioning members coupled to respective cam covers, operable to extend along limbs of the compound bow, and configured to couple with the compound bow at limb ends opposite the cams. The cam cover and sling device can further include a central tensioning member coupled to the two cam covers and operable to extend between the cams, wherein the central tensioning member is configured to increase tension in the limb tensioning members to secure the cam covers about the cams. In addition, the cam cover and sling device can also include a sling coupled to the two cam covers to support, and facilitate carrying, the compound bow.

A crossbow including first and second flexible limbs attached to a center rail. A first cam is mounted to the first bow limb and rotatable around a first axis. A draw string is received in string guide journals and is secured to first and second cams. The draw string unwinds from the string guide journals as it translates from a released configuration to a drawn configuration. Power cables are received in first and second power cable take-up journals on each of the first and second cams. 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 and are displaced along the first and second axes away from the first and second planes of rotation of the first and second draw string journals.

A string pulling mechanism includes a rolling assembly, a rotary shaft, a unidirectional bearing, two rollers, a switch, and a swing lever. The holder has a first accommodation portion, an opening, and a first coupling orifice. The unidirectional bearing includes an internal ring and an external ring having multiple teeth, the two rollers are fixed on the rotary shaft, and the switch is inserted to the opening of the rolling assembly and is rotatably connected with the rolling assembly. The switch is received into the opening so as to control the external ring to rotate or not rotate. The swing lever disposed on a side of the rolling assembly to actuate the rotary shaft, the internal ring of the unidirectional bearing, and the two rollers to rotate. The string is fixed on the two rollers and are inserted through and connected with a pull seat.

An archery limb control system, method and bow are described herein. The archery limb control system, in an embodiment, includes an energy resource, a plurality of flexible lines, and a driver. The driver includes a support coupled to the flexible lines and a gear coupled to the support.

An archery system, method and bow are described herein. The archery system, in an embodiment, includes an energy resource and a driver. The driver is configured to receive a force derived from the energy resource. The driver is also configured to distribute the force to a plurality of limb holders, each of which is pivotally coupled to the archery bow.
