Abstract
A rigging structure for a compound archery bow includes first and second pulley assemblies, pivotally mounted on axles at tips of corresponding first and second limbs of a compound bow. Each pulley assembly includes: a central string pulley component with a peripheral string groove; and first and second cable pulley components, each having peripheral cable groves. The first and second cable pulley components are fixed in straddling relation with respect to the string pulley component. A bowstring's opposite ends are connected directly to the first and second pulley assemblies such that, at rest condition of the bow, the peripheral string grooves are substantially occupied by wrapped bowstring. A first cable segment is carried by the first pulley assembly, such that opposite end stretches of the first cable segment extend from the respective cable grooves of the first pulley assembly to anchor to the second bow limb. A second cable segment is carried by the second pulley assembly, such that opposite end stretches of the second cable segment extend from the respective cable grooves of the second pulley assembly to anchor to the first limb.
