Does anyone have info on making Shoot Thru system for single cam bows? I have made a system that uses the cable guard to keep string out of the way. I am looking for something better.

I know how to make system for twin cams but I do not want to deal with keeping a twin cam system going.

Do you mean design a cam and idler so it actually works like a shoot through should or a makeshift splitter add on that only looks like a shoot through but doesn't really act like one other than removing the cable guard?
I've got a few ideas on cam design but I'm not going to post them into the public domain.

I have shot shoot thru cables on my Mathews bows for years without any problems,
1, All I do is use the orginal cable, take the serving off where it forms the yoke
2,Seperate the cable all the way down to the cam end serving.
3,About an inch from the cam end serving serve both piece's for about 3 inch's.
4 tie a nock serving about 1/2 way along that on each one.
5, for a spreader use a piece of ace arrow and 2 nocks (make it the same distance between the nocks as the distance between your cable anchors)
6,Use your exiting cable slide but instead of having the cable closest to centre string ,have your string there. Still have your cable runnig though the cable slide..

When it comes to tuning a bow set up this way you'll find that your scope will be more in line with your bow and the bow will not kick out as much..also I found the bow to be a little more forgiving..

I have in the past played around with a shoot thru string as well, the bow shot no different at all, but was a pain to set up as the trick is to stop the string from turning around at full draw, I overcame this by use of the spreaders on both,the cable and the string ,it is only this way you can do without the cable slide.

Personally it was'nt worth all the work as it did'nt make one bit of difference to how the bow shot and all I did was wreck a new string.


Hope this helps answer your question's

Good post!I have done the exact same thing a few years ago and used it for a few years without any problems but it is a pain tying the spreaders in!

Checkout winners choice strings , they have a shoot thru style system for single cam bows.

You mean a single cam shoot through system like this?

Was that not a Martin Prototype a few years back?

 

[sagecreek]

I made one.

It shoots awesome.

I have done the "split the cable and still use the cable guide. What I was looking for is how to split the string and keep it from turning without using the cable guard. Lookin got use the existing cams on Mathews Conquest.

I will check the Winners choice site. Thanks to all

I don't see how it would matter if you used the cable rod or not to align everything. As long as you make the measurements right and the seperator of right length all the cable rod would be doing is keeping the cable from twisting...no torque should be involved.

OK to split the string is easy too,
1,Lay string out flat and straight ..
2, Untwist the back portion of the string.
3,Spilt the two colours.
4,Take one end of the string and thread it between the two colours 10 or 12 times.
5,Do the same as you did for your cables and sevre both ends and tie on nocking points.
6, Again make your spreaders using ace arrow and nocks.
The lengths of these will need to be a little shorter than that of your cable so that both cable and string will clear each other.

The tricky part now comes into play ,,as what you have to do from here if you do'nt wish to use the cable guard,,

You will have to move your spreaders up or down so that the spreaders will hold the string true from rest to full draw .

This may take some time to get right as I found out myself when I tried this.

Only did it because others that know better said it was imposible!!!!

The bow that I did this on was a Mathews Rival Pro with mini max cam.

As I said before it made no difference that I could tell to the shooting of the bow so went back just spliting the cable, much easier

Again hope this helps

The cable will never twist , The cable guard is still being used to hold the string out of the way and you have to run one side of the cable through it to stop the cable hitting it when the bow is shot,the reason for turning the cable guard around is to minimise what little bow torque there still is when the bow is drawn back and shot.
Using a pull down rig and a lazer you can check the amount of side ways torque that a bow will produce, but what does it really matter as long as it does the same thing every single time., as many great Archers have shown..

Thanks a lot. I think you have just kept me from wasting a lot more time on this project.
