  • Patent number: 4185374
    Abstract: A method of stringing a compound archery bow. A preswedged off-end of a first cable is mounted to a mount on a first pulley. The first cable is then extended to a second pulley, wrapped in a grooved section of a central circumferential surface of the second pulley, strung in a slot on one sidewall of the second pulley, and passed through a central aperture of the second pulley until a mount chip is directly adjacent a stepped section of another slot on the other sidewall of the second pulley. The cable is then strung into a slot on the other side and the mount chip is inserted into the stepped section. The remaining length of the cable is wrapped in another grooved section of the central circumferential surface of the second pulley and the end of the first cable is then attached to the bow string. A second cable is then strung by following the steps of the method for stringing the first cable in reverse order.
