  • ARCHERY BOW MODULAR CAM SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200224991
    Abstract: A modular cam system for an archery bow or crossbow includes swappable cams that change the maximum draw weight of the archery bow or crossbow. Moreover, the modular cams can be affixed to a rotatable member in a number of orientations to set the desired draw length without changing the limbs, tightening or loosening limb bolts, or disassembling the bow. Further, the maximum draw weight of the bow remains substantially similar throughout a large portion of the draw length adjustment for a specified cam module.
