Default Help with replacement cable guard

I have a bowtech tomkat. I like the bow so far but have a small issue.
My cable else broke and I can't seem to get a Teflon replacement slide.
Right now I have a hoytt slide on it and it works but, my stings touch at full draw. Some of the other slide like hydroslide the strings touch all the time.

So I need some help people, I need a cable slide other then the original from bowtech. I prefer a Teflon one or maybe a roller guard if they even make one. I'm tired of this mess.

Anyone who knows somethrinv help me out please.

I'd go to your BowTech dealer and get the same slide that came with it from the factory. Some after market slides pull the cables over more than the BowTech one and you may accentuate your cam lean far enough to cause tuning issues. Get a couple to have one as a spare.

We had a problem with this at Gander Mountain a couple weeks ago. A guy dry fired his bow and the only thing that broke was the slide. It scared the hell out of me. We tried every replacement slide in the store (about 5 or 6) and none of them worked. Try every one you can and if they don't work you'd better make a call to Bowtech.
