All single cams are routed the same way.



You can install the buss cable first, cuz that is the easier one to do.



In a bow press, the bow will be facing in this direction...cams up higher, and the riser down low. I have the buss cable in GREEN.
Put the yoke legs on the ends of the top axle. That's the easy part. Don't bother with the cable slide. Leave the buss cable OUTSIDE the cable slide. I will explain why later.

Now, the single cam bowstring. The single cam bowstring is SUPER long, like just under 8 ft long. Maybe one end has a shorter end serving. Maybe one end has a longer end serving. Find the end of the single cam bowstring that has the LONGER end serving. There should be a peg nearly at the outer edge of the cam.

 

Find the end of the single cam bowstring with the longer end serving and install at Single Cam Peg #1. Put the string in the groove around the perimeter of the cam and run around the outside of the cam counter-clockwise. The cam will not rotate, cuz the buss cable keeps the cam in position. Keep some tension on the bowstring as you feed the other end of the long single cam bowstring around the idler wheel on your left.

IGNORE the cable slide for now. Keep tension on the long single cam bowstring and come back to the axle. The peg #2 for the end of the single cam bowstring, will be on the OPPOSITE side of the cam, for PEG #1. Run the single cam bowstring ABOVE the bottom axle, and wrap around the TINY pulley for the end of the single cam bowstring (follow red line path).

 

The "bottom" of the single cam bowstring (shorter end serving) will go over the TOP side of the bottom axle, and run clockwise around the tiny pulley, and onto Peg #2. PEG #1 will be on one side of the cam, and PEG #2 will be on the other side of the cam.

So, why did we ignore the cable slide at first? Cuz, by ignoring the cable slide, notice how the buss cable and the "bottom half" of the bowstring, naturally CROSS below the cable guard/rod? If the buss cable peg is on the LEFT side of the cam, if the bottom half of the bowstring attaches to a peg on the RIGHT side of the cam....pretty obvious that the buss cable will be CLOSER to your body, standing in front of the bow press, and pretty obvious that the bottom half of the bowstring, will be FARTHER away from your body.

That's why the cable slide is a wedge. One slot is a longer slot, more room away from the cable rod. The other slot is a SHORTER slot, less room away from the cable rod.
GREEN line is the buss cable. GREEN line, the buss cable is closer to the END of the cable rod.



So, the LONGER slot of the cable guide, runs closer to the end of the cable rod.

 

Thanks for the reply!! I think I have it. Does this look right to you all?

 

Nevermind. This is correct.

 

Yes, red line is the bottom end of the bowstring. Wraps around the cam (counter-clockwise) just like the part of the string that goes around the outside of the cam.
