Abstract
An archery limb control system, method and bow are described herein. The archery limb control system, in an embodiment, includes an energy resource and a driver having a plurality of lines. The driver is configured to receive a force derived from the energy resource. In response to the force, the lines are configured to put the limbs of an archery bow in a condition to cause a draw cord to propel a projectile toward a target.
Claims25
An archery limb control system comprising:
- an energy resource configured to be supported by an archery bow, wherein the archery bow comprises a first limb, a second limb, and a draw cord coupled to the first and second limbs, wherein the draw cord is configured to propel a projectile toward a target;
- an actuator operatively coupled to the energy resource;
- a driver configured to receive a force in response to an actuation of the actuator, wherein the force is based on the energy resource, wherein the driver comprises:
- a first flexible line coupled to the first limb;
- and
- a second flexible line coupled to the second limb,
- wherein the driver and the first and second flexible lines are configured to cooperate so that, as a result of the force, the first flexible line causes a first flexing of the first limb, and the second flexible line causes a second flexing of the second limb,
- wherein the first flexing and the second flexing transition the first and second limbs to an energized condition,
- wherein, in the energized condition, the first and second limbs are associated with a spring force,
- wherein the spring force is sufficient to cause the draw cord to propel the projectile toward the target.
