COMPOUND BOW CAM ARRANGEMENT WITH BALANCING YOKE

摘要

In certain arrangements, a balancing yoke is used in a hybrid cam arrangement of an archery bow, in which two cables are paid out from respective tracks or taken up in respective tracks on a cam when the bow is drawn. Aspects of the present disclosure incorporate a balancing yoke which has two leg portions which are symmetrically paid out or taken up in tracks on opposite sides of the cam's central rotational plane and wherein the force applied by a cable is divided and applied by the yoke legs to the cam on opposite sides of the cam's central rotational plane.
