An archery bow is provided including an axle assembly that compresses bearing and other components between limb portions to clamp those components against one another, with zero gaps therebetween, yet enable a cam to freely rotate relative to the axle. The bow can include bearings having an inner portion, and an outer portion non-rotatably joined with a cam. A fastener is operable in a compression mode to exert a compression force, such as an axial clamping force, against the bearing inner portion so it is non-rotatable relative to the axle, while the outer portion remains uncompressed and rotatable relative to the axle. The assembly can include a compression spacer clamped under the compression force between inner portions of bearings. These constructions can enhance the consistency of cam rotation and promote a smooth draw of the bow. Related methods are also provided.
