Abstract
Archery bow arrangements described herein include an archery bow body defining opposing limb tips and rotational elements mounted at the limb tips. A bowstring and additional cable portions extend between the limb tips. A cable guard extends from the archery bow body. The cable guard includes two slider pieces which each engage one portion of the cable arrangement and which can each separately translate forward or rearward during the bow's draw and release cycle. The slider pieces can preferably translate relative to each other, yet can each form limits to the translation of the other slider. Preferably, each slider is slidable to allow the respective cable portion to remain substantially straight or imparts only a minimal forward or rearward bend angle during the bow's draw and release cycle.
