Abstract
A compound bow includes improved cam members eccentrically mounted upon the bow limb tips and including a bowstring segment adjacent a tension cable segment. The bowstring segment is provided with a main body section having a curved lever section extending outwardly therefrom. A groove or track is formed in the periphery of the curved lever section while a parallel groove or track is provided in the outer periphery of the tension cable segment. A bowstring end is disposed within each lever section track while each tension cable segment track receives the cam end of a tension cable. Adjustable or replaceable elements allow for the ready synchronization of the two cam members as well as variation of the bow draw weight. The two cam segments may be constructed either as a unitary member or as separate, angularly adjustable components.
