Abstract: A bow limb retaining assembly including a retainer comprising at least one limb pocket, at least one bow limb configured and arranged to engage the at least one limb pocket and at least one adhesive composition disposed between at least a portion of the at least one limb pocket and the at least one bow limb.

Abstract: A compound bow comprises at least one limb that extends continuously between opposed rotatable members. In some embodiments, the bow comprises a second limb that extends continuously between the opposed rotatable members. In some embodiments, the limbs are parallel to one another.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an archery bow comprises a riser supporting a first limb and a second limb. The first limb supports a first rotatable member that defines a first axis of rotation. The second limb supports a second rotatable member that defines a second axis of rotation. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation move with respect to one another as the bow is drawn from a brace condition to a drawn condition. The bow defines a reference plane that includes the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation, wherein a distance between a predetermined location on the riser and the reference plane is greater in the brace condition than in the drawn condition.

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.
