The binary cam is a design for the pulley system of a compound bow. Craig Yehle, director of research and development at Bowtech Archery, received a patent [1] for the design on December 11, 2007. Bowtech started equipping its bows with the new cam design in the 2005 model year. [2] [3]
Novice archers will typically shoot a soft cam whereas a more advanced archer may choose to use a harder cam to gain speed. Bows can be had with a variety of cams, in a full spectrum from soft to hard. Some pulley systems use a single cam at the bottom of the bow and a round idler wheel at the top of the bow instead of two identical cams.

This limb stiffness makes the compound bow more energy-efficient than other bows, in conjunction with the pulley/cams. The typical compound bow has its string applied to pulleys (cams), and one or both of the pulleys have one or more cables attached to the opposite limb. When the string is drawn back, the string causes the pulleys to turn.

A cello bow. In music, a bow (/ b oʊ /) is a tensioned stick which has hair (usually horse-tail hair) coated in rosin (to facilitate friction) affixed to it.It is moved across some part (generally some type of strings) of a musical instrument to cause vibration, which the instrument emits as sound.
A self bow or simple bow is a bow made from a single piece of wood. Extra material such as horn nocks on the ends, or built-up handles, would normally be accepted as part of a self bow. Some modern authorities would also accept a bow spliced together in the handle from two pieces of wood. [1]
