  • Patent number: 12013204
    Abstract: An archery bow can include a member that is adjustable or replaceable relative to a cam assembly. The member can be affixed to the cam assembly such that the member contacts one or more cables while the archery bow is in a fully drawn or near-fully drawn state. The member can be adjustable, replaceable, swappable, or otherwise modifiable to contact particular portions of the cable disposed at various distances from an axis of rotation about which the cam assembly is rotating. While in a first configuration, the member can contact a portion of the cable that is a first distance from the axis of rotation. While in a second configuration, the member can be replaced or repositioned to contact a portion of the cable that is a second distance from the axis of rotation.
