Abstract
An adjustable eccentric for a compound archery bow includes a let-off adjustment module that pivots between two let-off positions. Adjusting the module between a first let-off position and a second let-off position effectively changes the distance between the cable and the pivot axis of the eccentric at full draw, which changes, in turn, the let off. The eccentric is also adjustable to change the draw length within a given range. A dampening device is further secured to the eccentric at a location on the cable take-up groove to absorb and reduce noise generated upon full draw of the archery bow. A weighted idler may also be provided to reduce undesirable shock or recoil.
