Abstract
A cam assembly for a single cam bow provides replaceable cable sheaves. By selecting different cable sheaves the draw length of the bow may be altered while the bow is strung. The draw length can be further fine tuned by providing differentially spaced positions for attaching either end of the bow string to the cam assembly. A bow equipped with a cam assembly according to the invention can have a draw length adjustable in fine increments over a range of several inches.
