Alright I have a hoyt powetech, on the cable guide, there is that plastic piece with 2 slots that the cables go through and the guide pins them in between the guide and the plastic thing, their are 2 slots, 1 for each guide, one is deeper than the other, my ? is i took it off not paying attention cuz one a2a length was a fuzz longer than the other, so i took it off and they are the same, how do i adjust that and does the deeper slot go to the cable closest to the grib or furthest away from grip closer to the knocking point....thanks!

Different manufactures cable their bows differently than others so I'd say to go to Hoyt's web site and maybe try to find a picture of your bow and make a determination on how it looks to be routed.

Here's picture of a PowerTec. Looks like the "Y" cable goes in the long slot, to the back.

sorry the pictures are sooo big but you can see better detail like that

as long as your cabels are not rubbing each other you are probably allright otherwise you have it on upside down

alright, well does it look correct?...i called hoyt and they said to make sure that the cables cross naturally and put the guide on there, the way i have it on i have to spin the guide, but either way it makes my cable go up slightly angled to the idler pulley, is there any chance either way i have the cable guide on that the string could come off the pulley?
