ABSTRACT:
The assembly includes a compound bow having a cable guard in the form of a plate secured to the bow handle and an arm extending rearwardly thereof to deflect laterally the pulley cables out of alignment with the arrow rest for improved arrow vane clearance. A cable slide guide bearing smooth, spaced cable-receiving side grooves is integrally or separately connected to the cable guard. A novel drawcheck is utilized wherein an indicator component thereof is a flexible clicker blade or a light assembly with switch, the switch arm of which is connected to and extends from the slide guide in the path of travel of an activator component thereof. The latter is a protuberance, such as a head, block, cylinder or the like secured to one of the cables. The activator component travels with the selected cable toward the indicator component as the bowstring is drawn and contacts and activates the indicator component when the bowstring is at full draw to turn on a light or cause an audible click by the blade on a tympanum near thereto. Arrow deflection by the clicker is thus avoided. The assembly provides improved shooting performance.
