Compound archery bow

A compound archery bow that includes a handle having spaced ends, a pair of limbs mounted on and projecting from said handle ends, a pair of pulleys rotatably mounted on ends of said limbs remote from said handle, a draw string extending between said pulleys, cables anchored at each said limb end and extending to said draw string around the pulley at the opposing limb end, and a cable guide attached to said handle and extending to said cables, characterized in that said cable guide is attached to said handle by guide attachment means that comprises:

• an opening in said handle that tapers narrowingly toward said cables, an internally threaded tapered bushing in said opening, and a screw extending from a side of said handle adjacent to said cables through said cable guide and threadably received in said bushing, such that said bushing is self-seating and self-tightening in said handle opening upon tightening of said screw to attach said cable guide.
