A cable guard for separating and holding a crossing locus of two inside cable segments of a compound bow away from a draw and release, arrow launching plane of an outside drawstring cable segment, comprising, in combination: (a) a post mounted, extending back from a riser of the bow toward the drawstring cable segment spaced away from the draw and release, arrow launching plane of the outside drawstring cable segment; (b) a pair of axle mounts mounted on and supported by the post extending transversely out from the post; (c) a pair of spaced cable glide-axles supported between the pair of axle mounts each providing a cable race where a first crossing inside cable segment is received between the cable glide-axles and a second crossing inside cable segment is received between a cable glide-axle and the post, whereby, the first and second inside cables are separated apart, and held away from the draw and release arrow launching plane of the outside drawstring cable segment, and the crossing locus of the inside cables can move in space back and forth though the cable guard separated by the cable glide-axles as the drawstring cable segment is drawn and released for launching arrows.
