The biggest thing I dont understand is (particularly on a single cam bow) what keeps the main cable shoot through window at 90 degrees to the arrow. I would have thought that as the bow is drawn the tension would cause the twist in the cables to spin it around hence the aperture for shooting the arrow through will reduce and ultimately have insufficient clearance.

The control cables will have less of a problem because the axle anchor points should stop the twisting. (having said that I have seen Y cables with twists in them before now)

Can soemone explain how the cables are firstly set at exactly 90 degrees to the arrow and secondly how they stay there through the shot cycle.
