Pat is correct in that some people tend to rotate an adjustable cableguard too far out, and this being detrimental because it will then create undue sidepull and wear on bushings. But my thoughts on this comment is that one simply must be smarter than what they are working with IMHO, and correct placement of an adjustable cableguard, along with occasional inspection to ensure that it remains tight, (a little loctite blue works wonders upon installation) is little to ask and a great alternative to having to deal with occasional issues such as those depicted above.

The bottom line is that many bow manufacturers use straight carbon rods for one reason and one reason only---the saving of money. Adjustable rods cost more to produce, and with straight rods for the most part being very adequate, usually there is not problem--- but every once in awhile that saving of money comes back around to bite them in the butt, and this really doesn't even matter as to what specific part, or whose name is on the bow--- every manufacturer has bits and pieces somewhere where this happens.. Maybe someday we'll find the perfect bow, until then we'll have to keep muddling along....

Some companies (Parker for instance)are now angling the straight carbon rod into the riser a bit, allowing for more fletching clearance in the rear. This is also a simple and effecrtive method of allowing more arrowpass, tho not adjustable.

Hopefully this will be an easy fix for you BM, I still think you may be able to slightly rotate your nocks and with a new slide be OK.
