Abstract

A crossbow includes a flexible limb with a first end coupled to a frame and a second end. The crossbow includes a draw string that is configured to move between a released position and a drawn position. The crossbow includes a pulley assembly with a lever arm rotatably coupled to the flexible limb and configured to rotate about a lever arm axis. The pulley assembly includes a pulley rotatably coupled to the lever arm and configured to rotate about a pulley axis that is spaced apart from the lever arm axis by a fixed distance. The pulley includes a first and second draw string grooves. The draw string is received by the first and second draw string grooves. The lever arm and the pulley are each configured to rotate in a first direction as the draw string is moved from the released position to the drawn position.
