The riser has a pair of distal pivotable connection points, a pair of proximal pivotable connection points between the distal connection points, and a central handle portion between the proximal connection points. Each coupling member is pivotably connected at a first pivotable connection point thereof to the riser at a corresponding proximal connection point thereof. Each bow limb is pivotably connected to the riser at a corresponding distal pivotable connection point thereof and pivotably connected to a corresponding coupling member at a second pivotable connection point thereof. Each bow limb is adapted at a pulley pivotable connection point thereof to receive a pulley member pivotably connected thereto.
