Abstract
A compound archery bow includes a pulley member that is rotatable on a transverse axle and that takes up a power cable as the bow is drawn. The pulley member is arranged so as to be fixed at any one of multiple transverse positions along its rotation axis relative to the bow limb by one or both of: (i) the transverse axle being retained on the bow limb at any one of multiple axle positions along the rotation axis by engagement of the transverse axle with the bow limb, or (ii) the pulley member being retained on the transverse axle at any one of multiple pulley positions along the transverse axle by engagement of the pulley member with the transverse axle. Performance characteristics of the bow can be optimized with respect to the transverse position of the pulley member along its rotation axis.
