Abstract: A degree of adjustability is achieved by securing an end of a bow limb within a bow limb pocket. The bow limb pockets are secured to opposite ends of a handle member. The bow limb pockets are adjustable in a direction transverse and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the handle member for fine lateral adjustment of the bow pulleys with respect to the handle member. A series of grooves parallel to each other are cut in opposite ends of the handle member with complementary shaped grooves located on a rear surface of each of the two pocket members. The grooves of the handle member and the bow limb pockets extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle member when the handle member and bow limb pockets are assembled together. The grooves mate with one another at which point a bolt is driven through the bow limb pocket into one end of the handle member. A bow limb is then secured to the bow limb pocket and the compound bow may then be strung.
