I was wondering if anyones seen or used this before..If its been previously posted im sorry.Would I be able to cut the bar down if I install this,so it isnt sticking out?
If it locks down on your cable guard, I dont see why you couldn't. I would be worried that it would break or rip out the bar because it wasn't designed for that much pressure. If you look at the bows that alreadyhave the roller guards, they are designed for that set up.
So, all you could do is try it out and see if it works for you,
There are tons of threads about the BowTurbo on other sites. You should really do your homework. Most companies will void the bow warranty for using this.
Something else is that it increases the stresses on the limbs by increasing the draw length and adds poundage to the bow's limbs by increasing stress. At least these are the reports I've been reading. Just how much longer or how much more poundage to the limbs is still being discussed.
Just for comparison Martin added a CCS (roller guard) this year to some of it's bows and by locking the cables to a roller guard instead of a slide it does increase the poundage of the limbs. Therefore they have learned to reinforce the limb tips to accommodate this and the increased stress imparted by the Cat cam system.
In any case I would be a bit leary of using a BowTurbo simply because when the bow is drawn the cables are pulling backward on the rollers, which are locked to the rod, which is locked to the riser (supposedly in all three cases). If any one of them lets go you could be looking at a Identified Flying Object come right back at you.

I'm not a big fan (nor big opponent) or Rollerguards as it is, but the Bowturbo is an accident waiting to happen.
Bows that have an factory rollerguard are approriately beefed up generally (as regards to limbs).
Standard Cable guards (whether carbon or alum or steel) were NOT meant to handle the stress the bowturbo puts on it (nor have a set screw wrenched down on it) - they will break in time under that kind of stress/deflection and chances are it will happen at full draw as mentioned. Having undergone a bow flying apart at full draw a few weeks back, I'm more leery than ever about this kind of thing- I was lucky and only got dinged up a little as everything derailed. Do I want to push my luck by adding additional stress to the bow system?
