Abstract
A string guide for a bow having a reverse draw configuration with a draw string located adjacent a down-range side of the bow in a released configuration. First and second string guides rotate around first and second axes, respectively, as the draw string is displaced from the released configuration to the drawn configuration. A first power cable take-up journal on the first string guide rotates around the first axis to take up a power cable. The first power cable take-up journal includes a width measured along the first axis at least twice a width of the first power cable. The first power cable is biased away from at least the draw string. The first power cable is translated along the first power cable take-up journal as the bow is drawn from the released configuration to the drawn configuration.
