Parts of a compound bow

Arrow rest: An arrow rest is a device on a bow that supports and stabilizes the arrow during aiming and shooting.

Bow cables: Bow cables provide necessary tension and support to the bow limbs. They work in conjunction with the bowstring to store energy when the bow is drawn and help propel the arrow upon release.

Cable rod: A cable rod is a structural component that supports the bow's cables, ensuring they maintain proper alignment and tension. It helps guide the cables away from the arrow's path, preventing interference during the shot.

Cam: A bow cam is a rotating mechanism that helps control the bowstring's movement. It transforms the archer's effort into energy stored in the limbs.

Grip: The grip is the part of the bow that the archer holds while shooting.

Limbs: The limbs of a bow are the flexible parts that store energy when drawn, propelling the arrow.

Nocking point: A nocking point is the designated spot on a bowstring where the arrow nock is placed for consistent shooting.

Nocking Loop: A nocking loop is a small loop of string or material attached to a bowstring, providing an attachment point for the aid release.

Riser: The riser is the central part of a bow that connects the limbs, providing stability and support for the grip and accessories.

Sight: A sight is an aiming device that helps archers align their shots accurately.

Stabilizer: A stabilizer is an accessory attached to a bow that enhances balance and reduces vibrations during shooting.

String: A bow string is a strong, flexible cord that connects the bow's limbs, enabling the bow to launch an arrow when drawn.

String silencer: A string silencer is a device attached to a bowstring that reduces noise and vibration during arrow release.

String Stop: A string stop is a device attached to a bow that dampens string vibrations upon release, enhancing noise reduction and improving shot stability.
