A compound archery bow comprising a body having first and second flexible ends. A bowstring has at least a portion of itself trained about a rotational assembly and is anchored to a cam assembly. In addition, an anchor cable has a first cable end fixed to the first end of the bow and a second cable end secured to the cam assembly. The cam assembly has a bowstring anchor projection and an anchor cable anchor projection for anchoring the bowstring and the anchor cable, respectively and an anchor cable track for taking in the anchor cable as the bow is being drawn. The cam assembly also has a bowstring track for letting out bowstring cable as the bow is being drawn and a mechanical linkage permitting limited relative motion between the bowstring cable track and the anchor cable track.

An archery bow cam assembly, including tracks for receiving cables, which may be placed into a first state wherein said tracks are in a first arrangement relative to one another or a second state wherein said tracks are in a second arrangement relative to one another and wherein mechanical energy is stored as said cam assembly is placed in said second state from said first state and is released as said cam assembly changes into said first state from said second state.
An archery bow having at least one split limb supporting an axle about which is mounted a cam assembly, and wherein said cam assembly is mounted to said axle by way of a pair of bushings and wherein each said bushing includes an annulus fitting about said axle and a rim extending radially outwardly from one axial end of said annulus and wherein said rim is separated from its respective split limb by a thrust washer sized to define an inner circular opening that just accommodates said rim of said bushing and that is made of low friction material.
