Abstract

An archery bow system incorporating a bow riser and dual limbs supporting cams or a cam and wheel mounted for rotation about respective axles. The dual limbs are independently adjustable to correct for cam lean and are individually supported in pockets that incorporate variable limb angle attachments to the bow riser. The limbs extend from the riser to flex. when at full draw, to positions that cause the respective axles to initially travel rearward toward the archer upon release of the bowstring. The limbs are adjustably attached to the riser to permit the limb angle with respect to the riser to be changed.

Claims

1. An archery bow system comprising:

(a) a riser having first and second ends;

(b) a flexible limb secured to said first end;

(c) a second flexible limb secured to said second end;

(d) a cam or wheel mounted for rotation about an axle supported by each flexible limb;

(e) a bowstring extending between said cam and said cam or wheel;

(f) said limbs flexing toward each other when said bowstring is drawn, each limb flexing beyond a horizontal reference line extending from a corresponding limb pivot, respectively; and

(g) said limbs flexing, when said bowstring is released, such that the respective axles supported by the limbs initially travel away from the riser.

2. An archery bow system comprising:

(a) a riser having first and second ends;

(b) a first pair of flexible limbs secured to said first end;

(c) a second pair of flexible limbs secured to said second end;

(d) a cam or wheel mounted for rotation about an axle supported between each pair of said flexible limbs;

(e) a bowstring extending between said cam and said cam or wheel;

(f) said limbs flexing toward each other when said bowstring is drawn, each limb flexing beyond a horizontal reference line extending from a corresponding limb pivot respectively; and

(g) said limbs flexing, when said bowstring is released, such that the respective axles supported by the limbs initially travel away from the riser.
