  • Publication number: 20220136798
    Abstract: A method for monitoring operation of an archery bow includes attaching an apparatus to a bow cord. The apparatus includes a processor, a monitoring device electrically coupled with the processor, a wireless communication module electrically coupled with the processor, and a power supply electrically coupled with each of the processor and the wireless communication module. The method further includes detecting, by the monitoring device, a tension of the bow cord. The method also includes generating, by the processor and based upon the detected tension of the bow cord, data concerning tension of the bow cord. The method further includes wirelessly transmitting, by the wireless communication module, the data to a remote computing device. The method also includes receiving, by the remote computing device, the data. The method also includes presenting, by the remote computing device and based upon the data, information to a user reflecting the detected tension.

  • Publication number: 20220136583
    Abstract: A tensioning device includes a housing, a drive member, an inner sleeve, a driven member, and a clutch assembly. The housing includes an attachment feature. The drive member is rotatably coupled with the housing. The inner sleeve is disposed in the housing and is coupled with the drive member. The inner sleeve is rotatable together with the drive member relative to the housing. The driven member is disposed within the housing and is operably coupled with the drive member. The clutch assembly facilitates selective coupling between the drive member and the inner sleeve. A second attachment feature is coupled with the driven member. The driven member is slidably coupled with the inner sleeve such that the driven member and the second attachment feature are translatable together between a retracted position and an extended position in response to rotation of the inner sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11255628
    Abstract: A cam assembly for an archery bow is provided. The cam assembly includes a cam body and an anchoring lug. The cam body defines a pivot axis and a groove circumferentially routed at least partially around the pivot axis. The anchoring lug is coupled with the cam body and includes a force sensor. The anchoring lug is offset from the pivot axis and is configured to facilitate attachment of a bow cord thereto. The force sensor is configured to facilitate detection of a tension on the bow cord as a function of a force imparted to the force sensor from the bow cord. An archery bow is also provided.
