Abstract: A modular elk call system comprising generally a mouthpiece assembly, a tubular portion, and a resonance producing end. The mouthpiece assembly can be completely removed from the call to enable the tubular section and resonance producing end piece to be used separately with any other type of call. The mouthpiece assembly comprises a detachable snap-on diaphragm that insures accurate, consistent tension of the membrane to allow high quality tones to be produced. Alternatively, a sheet of membrane material can be attached to the end of the mouthpiece assembly to create high quality tones. The resonance producing end piece allows the call to produce a resonant sound highly similar to a bugling bull elk.
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.
