ABSTRACT:
Eccentric wheels of a compound archery bow are mounted in respective bow limb receiving slots for pivotal movement between a rest draw angular position and a full draw angular position. Each wheel pivot axis extends transversely across the respective wheel receiving slot and is spaced an effective preset slot depth distance A from the respective slot root. Each wheel has a bowstring portion with a peripheral bowstring track formed therein for receiving a section of a bowstring. The peripheral bowstring track has a progressively increasing moment arm radius relative to the respective pivot axis from a rest draw segment to a full draw segment. The moment arm radius from the pivot axis to the full draw segment of the bowstring portion is greater than the effective slot depth distance A to extend the effective length of the respective flexible power limb at the full draw angular position by a distance greater than the slot depth. The wheel full draw segments of the bowstring portion in the rest draw angular position are positioned forwardly over the respective bow limbs and are separated from one another by a distance B which is less than a distance C separating the respective wheel axles. The wheel full draw segments of the bowstring portions in the full draw angular position are positioned rearwardly of the respective bow limbs and are separated from one another by a distance D which is greater than a distance C' separating the wheel axles at full draw.
