ABSTRACT:
A bow with brake assistance includes a pair of bow limbs utilizing pulleys that aid in holding the bow in a compressed position when the bow's string is drawn. A disk surface moves concurrently with a wheel from one of the bow's pulleys. A brake caliper contains brake pads that squeeze and restrict the turning motion of the disc surface and thus hold the bow's limbs in a compressed position. The brake caliper can squeeze the brake pads together via a brake cable when a brake trigger is squeezed by an archer's finger. The brake trigger is positioned near the bow's handle so that it can be conveniently activated by the archer's finger.
