Power cord adjustment

A method of using crossbow components comprising,

• providing a bow having
• a riser having
• an axis of bilateral symmetry,
• a first side, and
• a second side opposite the first side,
• wherein the second side is opposite the first side across the axis of bilateral symmetry of the riser,
• a first limb set engaged to the first side,
• a second limb set engaged to the second side,
• a first cam set engaged to the first limb set,
• a second cam set engaged to the second limb set;
• providing an adjustable pulley set having
• at least a first pulley pair, and
• a second pulley pair,
• wherein the pulley set is operationally engaged with and selectably movable with respect to
• the first cam, or
• the second cam, or
• the riser;
• providing a first power cord set;
• providing a second power cord set;
• operationally engaging the first power cord set such that it extends from the first cam set, and at least partially around the first pulley pair;
• operationally engaging the second power cord set such that it extends from the second cam set, and at least partially around the second pulley pair;
• and
• wherein the first power cord set has
• a top first side power cord above the riser, and
• a bottom first side power cord below the riser;
• wherein the second power cord set has
• a top second side power cord above the riser, and
• a bottom second side power cord below the riser;
• wherein the first pulley pair has
• a top first side pulley above the riser, and
• a bottom first side pulley below the riser;
• wherein the second pulley pair has
• a top second side pulley above the riser, and
• a bottom second side pulley below the riser;
• and
• further comprising cocking the crossbow wherein the resulting cocked crossbow configuration subjects the first pulley to a net force from the first power cord set toward the riser and subjects the second pulley to a net force from the second power cord set toward the riser;
• and
• wherein one end of each power cord is attached to the riser.

A crossbow comprising

• a bow having
• a riser having
• an axis of bilateral symmetry
• a first side and
• a second side opposite the first side across the axis of bilateral symmetry,
• a first limb set engaged to the first side and extending away from the axis of bilateral symmetry,
• a second limb set engaged to the second side and extending away from the axis of bilateral symmetry,
• a first cam set engaged to the first limb set,
• a second cam set engaged to the second limb set;
• an adjustable pulley set having at least a first pulley and a second pulley, the pulley set being operationally engaged with and selectably movable with respect to
• the first cam, or
• the second cam, or
• the riser;
• a first power cord set extending
• from the first cam set,
• at least partially around the first pulley, and
• to the first side of the riser;
• a second power cord set extending
• from the second cam set,
• at least partially around the second pulley, and
• to the second sider of the riser;
• and
• wherein the crossbow is adapted to be cocked in a cocked configuration wherein
• the first pulley is subjected to a net force from the first power cord set toward the riser, and
• the second pulley is subjected to a net force from the second power cord set toward the riser;
• and
• wherein one end of each power cord set is attached to the riser.
