Abstract
An adjustable cable guard mount which includes a pair of mounting means the first of which is inserted in or formed on an archery bow proximate the handle and having a symmetrical, multi-faced splined first mating portion. The second mounting means carries a deflector rod and includes a second mating portion formed to mate with the first mating portion. The first and second mounting means are held in their coupled relationship by a retaining means. By permitting the coupling of the first and second mounting means in a plurality of orientations the degree of tension cable and bowstring separation can be selectively adjusted.
Claims15
A compound archery bow having limbs extending outwardly in opposite coplanar directions and terminating in limb tip means, a bow handle portion connected between the free ends of said limbs, a bowstring and tension cables intermediate said bow tip means, and a cable guard mount comprising:
- a first coupling means carried by said bow and including a first mating portion;
- and
- a second coupling means including a deflector rod which deflects the tension cables from the path of the bowstring and a second mating portion including means for positive interlocking mating engagement against rotary displacement with said first mating portion.
