ABSTRACT:
The archery bow has a frame, a pair of bow arms with tip ends extending oppositely from the frame, a bowstring extending between the bow arms, and a link with opposite ends. At least one of the bow arms is flexible and provides a tension force for the bow. One end of the link is engaged to one of the bow arms and the opposite end is connected to the bow. During an initial rearward drawing movement of the bowstring the tension force on the bowstring increases and the tension force on the link decreases. One embodiment of the disclosure presents a bow wherein one end of the link is connected to one of the bow arms and the other end is connected to the bow and the bow arms flex unequally during drawing movements of the bowstring. Another embodiment of the disclosure presents a bow in which both bow arms are flexible and the link engages both of the bow arms. Still another embodiment of the disclosure discloses the link in the form of an attachment device with connecting members on the ends of the link for connecting the device to previously manufactured bows. The link does not deliver any tension to the bowstring during shooting motions of the bow.
