1. A timing adjustment assembly for a compound archery bow comprising a riser and at least one power cable connected between two pulley assemblies, the timing adjustment assembly comprising:
a stationary component; and
an adjustable component moveably connected to the stationary component and configured to selectively move and be continuously adjustable in a generally linear path relative to the stationary component between two or more different positional arrangements;
wherein the adjustable component is coupled to the at least one power cable;
wherein each positional arrangement of the two or more different positional arrangements of the adjustable component imparts a different effective length of the at least one power cable while the compound archery bow is in a brace position; and
wherein selectively moving the adjustable component between two different positional arrangements changes the effective length of the at least one power cable when the compound bow is in the brace position.
 
13. A pulley assembly for a compound archery bow, the pulley assembly rotatably coupled to an axle located on an end of a bow limb of the compound archery bow, the pulley assembly comprising:
a cam body having a first side and a second side;
a draw string groove extending at least partially around a periphery of the cam body for receiving a draw string of the compound archery bow;
a timing adjustment assembly located on the first side of the cam body, the timing adjustment assembly comprising:
a receiving slot defined into a surface of the cam body; and
an adjustable anchor component having a base portion, a sliding portion, and an anchor post;
wherein the base portion is configured to be at least partially received within the receiving slot and the sliding portion is configured to extend beyond the surface of the cam body when the base portion is positioned within the receiving slot;
wherein the timing adjustment assembly connects a first power cable to the pulley assembly;
wherein the adjustable anchor component is structurally arranged to translate in a generally linear path along the surface of the cam body between two or more positional arrangements; and
wherein each positional arrangement results in a different effective length of the first power cable.
