Patent attributes
An inverted compound archery bow including an extended-capacity cam system having two cams, each cam engaging the bowstring and separate cables extending to limbs of the bow. The bowstring and cables are counter-wound on the cams, producing tension opposite and proportional to the inverse ratio of windings. Drawing the bowstring winds the cables onto the cams, producing limb tension that propels an arrow when the bowstring is released. An arrow rest located between full-draw and rest excursions of the bowstring accommodates the extended draw length of the bow. A bowstring arrestor engages the bowstring at an intermediate-draw position. A slide stabilizes and supports a rear portion of the bow, and a receptacle on the slide engages an adapter for a bowstring release mechanism.
