Abstract

A compound bow comprises at least one limb that extends continuously between opposed rotatable members. In some embodiments, the bow comprises a second limb that extends continuously between the opposed rotatable members. In some embodiments, the limbs are parallel to one another.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A compound archery bow comprising:
a first continuous limb having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; a first rotatable member attached to the first end and a second rotatable member attached to the second end; and a drawstring extending between the first and second rotatable members.

2 . The compound archery bow of claim 1 further comprising a frame attached to the continuous limb, the frame disposed between the first and second ends.

3 . The compound archery bow of claim 2 , wherein the frame comprises a handle.

4 . The compound archery bow of claim 2 , wherein the frame comprises an arrow rest.

5 . The compound archery bow of claim 1 further comprising a second continuous limb having a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end, the first rotatable member attached to the third end and the second rotatable member attached to the fourth end.

6 . The compound archery bow of claim 4 further comprising a frame attached to the first and second continuous limbs.

7 . The compound archery bow of claim 1 further comprising a first tension member cable extending from a first end of the first continuous limb.

8 . The compound archery bow of claim 7 , wherein the drawstring travels from a brace configuration to a drawn configuration, defining a drawstring plane along the path of travel.

9 . The compound archery bow of claim 8 , wherein the first tension member comprises a main portion which lies entirely outside the drawstring plane.

10 . The compound archery bow of claim 9 , wherein the first tension member cable further comprises a first branch portion having a first length and a second branch portion having a second length, the first length longer than the second length.

11 . The compound archery bow of claim 8 further comprising a second tension member cable extending from a second end of the first continuous limb.

12 . The compound archery bow of claim 11 , wherein the second tension member comprises a main portion which lies entirely outside the drawstring plane.

13 . The compound archery bow of claim 12 , wherein the second tension member cable further comprises a third branch portion having a third length and a fourth branch portion having a fourth length, the third length longer than the fourth length.

14 . A compound archery bow comprising:
a first limb having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; a first rotatable member attached to the first end and a second rotatable member attached to the second end; a frame attached to the first limb; and a drawstring extending between the first and second rotatable members.

15 . The compound archery bow of claim 14 , wherein the frame is attached to the first limb via a clamp.

16 . The compound archery bow of claim 14 , wherein the first limb is adjustable with respect to the frame.

17 . The compound archery bow of claim 14 further comprising a second limb.

18 . A bow comprising:
a pair of elongate flexible limbs supported in a side-by-side arrangement and separated by a distance, wherein the bow is configured to propel an arrow along an arrow flight path extending through a region between the pair of elongate flexible limbs.

19 . The bow of claim 18 , wherein the distance is at least 1.5 inches.

20 . The bow of claim 18 , wherein the pair of elongate flexible limbs are substantially parallel.
