The present invention relates to an arrow shooting device, and more specifically to, a new arrow shooting device and a draw weight adding method, wherein an arrow is shot not by a compound arrow or a compound crossbow, which have been conventionally used, but by a rubber band and a differential motion cam. The arrow shooting device according to the present invention is formed in the straight simple shape, wherein, as shown in FIG. 6 , the rubber band having superior elasticity is used rather than a limb in the energy storage method thereof and the retraction speed of the rubber band is converted using a differential motion cam or a differential motion cam so as to be suitable for shooting the arrow. In addition, it is possible to additionally hang the rubber band in the state when drawing is finished, or pull the rubber band by means of a winch, so that even people in general may shoot an arrow with a strong draw weight. Therefore, the arrow shooting device is light enough to easily be carried, is easy to manufacture and repair, and has much storage power so that an arrow may be shot far and shot straight. According to the present invention, it is possible to resolve the conventional problems of the complicated structure, heavy weight, noise and shock in the compound arrow and the compound crossbow and reduce the weight for convenience in movement.

A portable device to compress a bow comprising a pulley system with a block and tackle and fixed pulleys which, by wiring, are connected to a set of fastening supports with fastening ends. The fastening ends fasten and pull the ends of the arms or limbs of a bow, under traction exerted by the block and tackle. The block and tackle has a drive portion and a brake controlling the traction and release of the cables connected to the fastening supports. Upon pulling the drive portion, the block and tackle produces the approach between the first and the second pulleys. This displacement between the pulleys acts on the cables which, through the fixed pulleys, cause the approach between the fastening supports. This displacement of the fastening supports overcomes the resistance of the bow and compresses it. Once the desired compressive level is reached, the brake or blockage is actuated.

A compound archery bow comprises a riser, limbs attached to the riser, pulley members mounted on the limbs, a draw cable, one or more additional cables, and a cable guard. The limbs, draw cable, and additional cables are arranged so that drawing the bow rotates the pulley members to let out the draw cable, takes up or lets out each additional cable with the pulley members, and bends the bow limbs toward one another. The cable guard comprises an elongated, resilient, non-articulated member attached to and extending backward from the riser, and a cable retainer. The cable guard displaces each additional cable laterally from a shooting plane of the bow sufficiently at brace to avoid fletching of an arrow, and bends inwardly when the bow is drawn but still displaces each additional cable laterally sufficiently to avoid the shaft of the arrow.
