Abstract
A cable adjuster for individually adjusting the cable ends of a split cable on a compound archery bow has a body with a medial slot located in it which fits over the end of the pin which journal the bow cams. The slot is configured so that the body can rotate on the pin and be slid toward and away from the center of the bow. A retainer secures the body rotatably on the pin. A button attached to the body releasably engages a loop located at the cable ends. A notch is located between the body and the button to seat the cable loop on the device. The button and notch are angled with respect to the body such that when a force which is applied to the cable, the elongate axis of the body remains normal to the axis of the pin so that the body can rotate on the pin without binding. A set screw extends through the top end of the body into the slot where it contacts the top of the pin when force is applied to the cable. By screwing the set screw into the body, the cable is effectively shortened and by screwing the set screw out of the body, the cable is effectively lengthened. One cable adjuster is located on each side of each bow limb.
