More Information
Summary:An archery bow formed by a main member adapted to be grasped by an archer with a limb pivotally attached to each opposite end thereof, with construction for reducing the pull or draw poundage of the bow between undrawn and fully drawn positions of a bow string. The limbs are pivoted relative to the main member and lesser force is required to maintain the reduced poundage than that required at the fully drawn position absent the reducing means. The bow has an element for limiting the amount of rotation of the limbs relative to the main member that is gripped by a user. Each limb has an anti-friction member that bears against a resilient member and is biased by the resilient member when pivoted relative to the main member.
