RE: " Shoot through" cable system..no cable guard?
c903-
Both my Merlins have had the shoot-through harness. I tried the cable-guard for a while on my SuperNova just because I like to tinker, but found that for me, the shoot-through performed better. I really like the shoot-through for targets. Not shure if I would want one for my hunting bow due to bulky clothes and coats for cold-weather hunting, but love them for target.
Best of luck-
