ABSTRACT:
The improved cable guard for a compound archery bow includes an elongated, flexible resilient rod having a rear portion and an opposite front portion, the flexibility of the rod increasing from the front portion to the rear portion. Preferably, the front portion of the rod is generally circular in transverse cross-section while the rear portion of the rod is semi-circular in such cross-section, with a flat side facing away from the bow cables and toward the bowstring. In another embodiment both the front and rear portions of the rod are generally circular in cross-section, but the diameter of the rod decreases from the front portion to the rear portion thereof. The cable guard also includes an elongated transversely extending bracket the medial end of which is adapted to be secured to the rear end of the bow riser while the distal end of the bracket extends laterally of the riser and releasably secures the rod so that its position relative to the bow riser can be adjusted. The rod and bracket can be made of metal, plastic or the like. A fitting can be provided to slidingly receive portions of the bow cables and the rod. The invention also includes a compound archery bow with the cable guard mounted thereon lateral of the bowstring and medial of the cables.
