<p>Archery bows have a long history compared to compound bows, which only came into being after 1969. Since the compound bow was first introduced, several patents have been issued for compound bow modifications. However, there are a very limited number of publications pertaining to the mechanism of compound bows. In this article, a systematic kinematic analysis is performed on a model of an eccentric twin round cam compound bow. To model the limb elasticity, torsion springs are introduced at the junction of the riser (grip) and the inelastic limbs. Using this model, relocations of the geometric centers of the round cams are made to determine how they affect compound bow characteristics. An experimental verification of the compound bow is also performed to verify the accuracy of the model. The introduced kinematic analysis model and experimental verification results are compared and discussed.</p>
