    First topic message reminder :

    I have noticed that quite a few crossbows I see on here have pulleys at the limb ends Pulleys are not cams,which give mechanical advantage,and make cocking easier,all a single pulley can do,is change direction,no mechanical advantage.constructing a bow limb with a pulley on the end is much more difficult.so what am I missing,why is it done?.I am working on the assumption that nothing is done without good reason,so if any of our knowledgeable members can enlighten me,I would very much appreciate it.

    Thank you, german is my native language.

    Usually I do not have these problems concerning english.


    But when it comes to the situation of little words having various meanings turning the sentences whole context, it is getting difficult.


    Fortunately physics and maths theirself are kind of universal over all languages Smile

    Since I was reminded on this topic by incidence, I have to point out that my statements rely on simple limb systems with clearly a single rotating pulley on It.

    The cam systems can/will operate in a different way.
