Abstract
A compound bow may feature the ability to pre-store energy before the drawing back of the draw string. Various embodiments contemplate that this may allow an archer to draw back the draw string or cable, and upon reaching the let off region of the compound bow's draw profile, cause the pre-stored energy to be transferred to the energy being stored by the bow. Various embodiments contemplate that this addition of pre-stored energy may give the archer more energy, held in the draw string or cable, to transfer to an arrow upon release, propelling it at greater speeds than would have been achieved with a compound bow of equal draw weight that does not feature an energy storage mechanism.

An archery bow, comprising:
- a loading assembly comprising a rotational member, the rotational member comprising a protrusion, the rotational member coupled to a first auxiliary limb via a first cable,
- wherein the rotational member is configured to engage the first cable upon rotation of the rotational member by contacting the first cable via the protrusion, thereby preventing further rotation of the rotational member in a pre-load lock position.
A loading assembly for an archery bow, comprising:
- a rotational member comprising a protrusion, the rotational member configured to be coupled to a first auxiliary limb of the archery bow via a first cable,
- wherein the rotational member is configured to engage the first cable upon rotation of the rotational member by contacting the first cable via the protrusion, thereby preventing further rotation of the rotational member in a pre-load lock position.
A method of making an archery bow, the method comprising:
- providing a loading assembly comprising a rotational member, the rotational member comprising a protrusion, the rotational member coupled to a first auxiliary limb via a first cable,
- wherein the rotational member is configured to engage the first cable upon rotation of the rotational member by contacting the first cable via the protrusion, thereby preventing further rotation of the rotational member in a pre-load lock position.
