The first rotatable member comprises a first cable track and a second cable track, and the second rotatable member comprises a third cable track and a fourth cable track. A bowstring extends between the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member. The bowstring defines a bowstring plane. A latch is attached to the stock and arranged to engage the bowstring. A trigger is arranged to release the latch. A first cable segment is oriented above the bowstring plane and engaged with the first cable track. A second cable segment is oriented below the bowstring plane and engaged with the second cable track. A third cable segment is oriented above the bowstring plane and engaged with the third cable track. A fourth cable segment is oriented below the bowstring plane and engaged with the fourth cable track.

Abstract: A system for a smart bow includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a user interface, and processing circuitry. The accelerometer is configured to measure acceleration of the smart bow. The gyroscope is configured to measure orientation of the smart bow. The processing circuitry is configured to receive the acceleration and the orientation of the smart bow from the accelerometer and the gyroscope. The processing circuitry is configured to perform an analysis on the acceleration and the orientation of the smart bow to identify an action performed with the smart bow. The processing circuitry is configured to operate the user interface to display a result of the analysis.
