ABSTRACT:
A bow with modified braking uses flexible bow limbs attached above and below a bow handle. The bow limbs have wheels that guide a bow string and form pulleys. The pulleys mechanically assist in holding the bow limbs when the bow string is drawn. A remotely controlled brake operated by a brake lever near the bow handle is used to limit bow wheel motion to reduce the difficulty of holding a drawn bow string. The remotely controlled brake has spring held brake contactors capable of elastic extension and retraction in the directions of bow wheel rotation that engage with a braking surface located on the bow wheel. The modified brake requires an archer to hold some of the pressure of a drawn bow string to prevent the bow wheel from extending the brake contactors which would release the bow string.
