ABSTRACT:
An archery bow having a pair of bow limbs pivotally connected together in end-to-end relationship, whereby the bow limbs can be folded so that the backs of the respective bow limbs face each other. The interconnected end portions of the bow limbs are preferrably enlarged with respect to the remainder thereof forming a handle portion of the bow. The handle end portions are provided with passageways therethrough extending from the bellyside to the backside thereof. An endless bowstring extends from the backside of the bow through the passageways in the handle end portion of the bow and around the ends of the respective bow limbs. The bow limbs can also comprise a pair of flexible, elongate members attached, respectively, to the backsides of the limb members to extend inwardly from the tip ends thereof, with their inwardly extending ends being firmly secured to the respective limb members. Elongate members are pivotally attached to the tip ends of the respective limb members, with corresponding ends thereof positioned between the limb members and the flexible members of the respective bow limbs, and with the other ends thereof extending outwardly from the tips of the limb members. The bowstring is strung between the outwardly extending ends of the pivot members. When the bowstring is drawn, the pivot members rotate so that the ends thereof between the limb members and the flexible members deflect the flexible members, thereby developing tension in the bowstring.
