Abstract: A cable guard eliminator for a compound bow comprising a first limb and a second limb and having a bowstring and at least one cable strung between first and second connecting elements respectively mounted near outer ends of the first and second limbs. The cable guard eliminator comprises a first portion from which the cable extends to the first connecting element, a second portion from which the cable extends to the second connecting element, and, an intermediate portion defining a deflection area between the first end and the second end. The deflection area has a length in a direction generally parallel to the cable at least as long as a range of motion of the cable, such that at least some portion of the deflection area remains aligned with an arrow path throughout drawing and release of the bowstring.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable bow press and a limb connector therefor, for use with a bow comprising a pair of resilient limbs that extend outwardly from a handle. The bow press is used to force the outer ends of the limbs together, thereby releasing tension on the bow string and/or cable. The user is then able to remove, replace or repair the bow string or cable while the bow press holds the bow in position. The bow press may comprise two limb connectors which hold the bow press in place. Each limb connector may comprise an outer peg and an inner peg, which are used to couple the limb connector to a bow limb.

Abstract: The invention provides a bow press, for use with a bow comprising a pair of resilient limbs extending outwardly in opposite directions from a central handle portion, the limbs each having an outer end. The bow press comprises first and second pulling members, a coupler, and first and second limb connectors. Each pulling member has a first end and a second end, with a threaded portion at the first end. The coupler is configured to threadedly engage the threaded portions of first and second pulling members. The first and second limb connectors are attached to the second end of the first and second pulling members, respectively, and are configured to engage the outer ends of the limbs.
