I don't know about at long draw lengths, but the same is true of the 2008 Commander- at least mine (28.5"). Clearance is very tight with the stock slide, and I can see the cable in the peep (I had the same cable visible with the Admiral too). The fletch clearance bothers me more than anything, because when shooting I am so intent on the spot I want to hit, the cable kinda "blurs" out of my vision. I reccomend the "First Strings" brand cable slide as it's one of the few oversized enough to glide smoothly on the dipped cable guard rod BowTech uses- others I tried like the Bomar, Hoyt, PSE, & Martin all had too much friction or wouldn't even go on the rod.

Nice bow though- very smooth shooting, quiet, and with the big brace very forgiving. Speeds are not too shabby- 28.5"/ 70/350 296 FPS on mine with loop, peep & 2 Simms leeches. And if you are a lefty, mine is for sale
