## Abstract

In some embodiments, a method comprises attaching a servicing string to the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member of a compound archery bow. The servicing string retains the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member in a non-brace orientation, for example in a partially drawn orientation. The bowstring is removed from the compound archery bow. A servicing cable is attached to the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member, and the servicing string is detached from at least one of the first rotatable member or the second rotatable member. The servicing cable is let down, unloading the compound archery bow.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
attaching a servicing string to a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member of a compound archery bow, wherein the servicing string retains the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member in a non-brace orientation;
removing a bowstring from the compound archery bow;
attaching a servicing cable to the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member;
detaching the servicing string from at least one of the first rotatable member or the second rotatable member; and
letting down the servicing cable.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein detaching the servicing string comprises applying a force to the servicing cable.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein letting down the servicing cable comprises removing the force from the servicing cable.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein letting down the servicing cable comprises rotating the first rotatable member and second rotatable member past their orientations in a brace condition.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, the compound archery bow comprising limbs, wherein letting down the servicing cable comprises unloading the limbs.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein attaching the servicing cable to the first rotatable member comprises attaching the servicing cable to a bowstring terminal post.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein attaching the servicing cable to the first rotatable member further comprises orienting a portion of the servicing cable in a bowstring track.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising removing the servicing cable.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, the compound archery bow comprising a power cable, the method further comprising removing the power cable.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, comprising installing a replacement power cable on the compound archery bow.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising applying a force to the servicing cable, thereby loading the compound archery bow and causing the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member to rotate.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, further comprising attaching the servicing string to the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, comprising removing the servicing cable.

attaching a servicing string to a first rotatable member and a second rotatable member of a compound archery bow, wherein the servicing string retains the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member in a non-brace orientation;
removing a bowstring from the compound archery bow;
attaching a servicing cable to the first rotatable member and the second rotatable member;
detaching the servicing string from at least one of the first rotatable member or the second rotatable member;
letting down the servicing cable to unload the compound archery bow.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, the compound archery bow comprising a power cable, the method further comprising removing the power cable.
