Default RE: cable suppressor wear

I bet your cable is fraying right where it makes that sharp turn on the cam when you come to full draw????? Not much you can do about it. Being such a short ata bow the cable makes a sharp turn to get to the cable slide and back to the idler. The cable rubs on the outside of the string grooves and wears very fast.

I had a Parker phoenix 32 which has almost an identicle cam and it did the exact same thing. What I did was serve that part of the cable with some thin and slick super fishing line, I think it was Stren super braid in 20 lbs. It seemed to help quite a bit.

Your string supressors are going to wear like that. Nothing you can do about that other than not shoot your bow. Your local Mathews dealer should have those supressors for you for less than $10. Just make sure that you get one with a "C" on it and one with an "I" on it. One os for the cam limb and one is for the idler limb.

Personally I would take them off and just use whiskers or leeches. Those supressors don't do all that much to dampen string vibration any way. Thay are way too close to the point where the string meets the cam/ idler to do much good. IMHO they are just something to add to the cost of the bow that offer little to the consumer.
