I got it tuned in some more today and have 4" groups at twenty with finger release so I am getting increasingly happy with it.

The fletchings on my gamegetters do hit the cables but I talked to a family friend who has been bow hunting for longer than I've been alive and he said the cable guard was left off of bows in the seventies because the contact wasn't thought to be an issue with feather fletchings and they just used to rotate the nocks to one or two o'clock if they needed anymore clearance. Tried the two o'clock setting today with the four inch veins on the eastons and it only hit maybe an eight of an inch, the arrows need refletching anyway because the easton fletchings are weak and since I just started shooting a month ago they ended up in the grass quite a bit before I updated the rest to a whisker biscuit.

I would still be interested in a bear cable guard from a Black Bear if anyone has one.
