Abstract
An archery bow is provided including limbs and at least one power cable disposed in a track of a cam rotatably mounted to a limb. The power cable is anchored to the cams with a fastener having a shaft registered in a hole defined by a landing surface of the cam so that a power cable is trapped in a cable capture void between a head of the fastener and the landing surface. The fastener can include a radius between a fastener axis and an outer edge of the head. A separation distance can be defined between the head and the track, with a ratio of the separation distance to the radius being less than 1:1. The separation distance can be less than a diameter of the power cable. A related method of use is provided.
