Abstract
What is disclosed is a braking mechanism for holding a bow string at full draw or any partial draw position along the entire length of the draw stroke. The braking mechanism functions by imparting friction onto the string of a compound archery bow thereby preventing the string from moving or being wound out of or into a cam of the compound archery bow.
Claims19
A compound archery bow, wherein said compound bow comprises:
- a bow riser having two limbs;
- a cam rotatably mounted on one of said limbs;
- a bowstring strung between said limbs, said bowstring being windably connected with said at least one cam;
- at least one string or cable(s) strung between said limbs, said at least one string or cable being windably connected with said at least one cam, wherein said bow is configured such that when a user draws said bowstring back the bowstring rotates said cam causing said string or cable to be wound out of said cam;
- and
- a brake comprising a brake actuation mechanism and a string friction mechanism, wherein said string friction mechanism is positioned on said string, wherein actuation of said brake actuation mechanism actuates said string friction mechanism to impart friction onto said string preventing said string from moving.
