I hate to be the bad guy but is this acceptable to engineer a new riser without taking into consideration that the vast majority of archers today are shooting cock feather down with a right offset or helical for the right handed shooter to keep their points tight.
I think, as some of the others have made mention to, that not everyone is experiencing this problem. That would lead me to one of two conclusions....either a) the cable guard rods on some of the production bows are not at the same angles as others or b) the actual problem lies with the individual setup on the bow and not the bow itself.
This is a tough one to call as it requires someone to actually physically have their hands on the bow to check it out further.
Just a thought, but when I set my MM up I took the slide of and the cables naturally crossed above the cable gaurd ,but when I got the bow they were set up crossing below it, I put a Bomar slide on it and put it on with the cables crossing above and haven't had any problems,
Gromage,
This could potentially put more stress on the cam. The reason I mention this is because I had actually been shooting my Pat SC in this fashion for some time and was experiencing some excessive wear on the cable. After some research I found that the cables are supposed to be crossing below the cable guard rod despite how they "sit at rest".
