Never really been an issue for me either EXCEPT shooting 5" feathers with the big profile. With a drop-away I can rotate them to an almost cock feather side-ways position and they clear fine. W/ a conventional rest though they do rub (and they did on my Hoyt CyberTec as well)

I've shot all sorts of carbons, even some alums...Right helical, left helical, straight fletch, 4" vanes, 4" feathers, 5" vanes, cock feather up, cock feather down...I have not really had a problem that I can remmeber except with those 5" feathers.

You have to be careful w/ some aftermarket cable slides because they will cause too much side load on the shorter bows.

the 2004 bows c-shot is pretty far out...starts at about 7/8" and goes a little further depending on the indvidual bow. I would check that if there is a problem.
