Take a Look at This Great Compound Bow Rig Set Up in Blender

Ryan Lykos stepped away from body parts creation and presented a new Blender rig: a nice compound bow model with moving cams – the wheels that shift when the string gets taut.

Lykos duplicated the string curve for the cam and constrained an empty to it using the Follow Path constraint to hold the string on the cams, changing the offset value with drivers to move the string. Try it, maybe you'll make your own rig with this technique.

You should check out Lykos's other works on X/Twitter, like these finger and body rigs, a gun with an automated magazine, Mimic from Five Nights at Freddy's with incredible eye motion, and Doomguy.
