Crossbow assembly
Provided is a bow assembly comprising a main beam elongated in a first direction to define a distal end, and a proximal end, wherein the distal end has a distal end facing surface from which extend, an upper member, and a lower member having a first set of threads thereon; and a riser having a proximate facing surface, an upper groove dimensioned to engage the upper member, and a lower opening through hole dimensioned to engage the lower member; a threaded fastener adapted to threadedly engaged the first set of threads; and wherein the riser is assembled with the main beam and the threaded fastener such that the upper member is inserted within the upper groove, the lower member is inserted within the lower opening, the distal end facing surface faces the proximate facing surface, and the threaded fastener is threadedly engaged with the first set of threads.
1. A bow assembly comprising
a main beam elongated in a first direction to define
a distal end, and
a proximal end opposite the distal end,
wherein the distal end has a distal end facing surface from which extend,
an upper member elongated in the first direction, and
a lower member separate from the upper member, the lower member,
being elongated in the first direction, and
having a first set of threads thereon; and
a riser having
a proximate facing surface,
an upper groove dimensioned to engage the upper member in a close sliding fit, and
a lower opening through hole dimensioned to engage the lower member in a close sliding fit;
a threaded fastener having a second set of threads adapted to threadedly engaged the first set of threads;
wherein the riser is assembled with the main beam and the threaded fastener such that
the upper member is inserted within the upper groove,
the lower member is inserted within the lower opening,
the distal end facing surface faces the proximate facing surface,
the threaded fastener is threadedly engaged with the first set of threads;
further having,
a first attachment bracket engaged to the riser,
a second attachment bracket engaged to the riser,
a first bow limb operationally engaged with the first attachment bracket,
a second bow limb operationally engaged with the second attachment bracket,
a first cam mounted to the first bow limb to be pivotable about a first cam axis,
a second cam mounted to the second bow limb to be pivotable about a second cam axis,
a first power cable pulley inset into riser to be pivotable about a first power cable pulley axis,
a second power cable pulley inset into the riser to be pivotable about a second power cable pulley axis,
a first power cable interconnected between the first cam and the first power cable pulley, and
a second power cable interconnected between the first cam and the first power cable pulley;
wherein neither power cable crosses the main beam;
wherein the first cam axis is not parallel to the first power cable pulley axis; and
wherein the second cam axis is not parallel to the second power cable pulley axis.
