  • Axle assembly for a bow
    Patent number: 11821708
    Abstract: An axle assembly for a bow. The assembly includes spacers that can be used to adjust the position of a rotatable member axially along an axle that supports the rotatable member. The spacers can each have a snap-on configuration and can be installed and removed from the axle using an installation tool. The rotatable member can be mounted on the axle by a bearing assembly, and the axle assembly can include features for preventing thrust load from being applied to the bearing assembly.

  • Archery bow with cable splitter
    Patent number: 11566864
    Abstract: A bow (e.g., compound bow, cross bow, etc.) that includes a cable splitter. The cable splitter is easy to install in that it does not require access to the yoke ends of the bow string. The cable splitter is self-anchoring to the cable. In addition, the cable splitter eliminates the need for a separate saddle and separate section of cable. The cable splitter also allows for tuning for cam lean by adding or removing twist in the yoke ends.

  • Bow energy transfer system and method
    Patent number: 8656900
    Abstract: A bow energy transfer system includes a pair of helically wound springs positioned on the bowstrings on either side of the bowstring nock point; the springs are secured to the bowstring with a serving thread wound between the individual coils into contact with the bowstring. The springs flex perpendicular to their longitudinal axes during discharge of the bow causing energy to temporarily be stored in the flexed spring to be returned to the arrow or bolt later in its discharge.
