Goldtip45, huh? are you referring to a normal slides operation or the alpine glide slide in particular? If so, could you elaborate on your tip?

Mrfritz44, I know you didn't ask me- but my Patriot maxes out at 65#'s (ordered that way) and my stalker maxes at 59#'s. That is where I shoot them.

I also enjoy the feel the glide slide provides and the reduced cable/string wear is an added benefit.
I think that the patriots cable guard being somewhat angled away from the riser is placing more stress on the slide than alpine designed for. (Hence the elongated holes)

The Saunders sure was nice, but with the amount of pull it puts on the cables I can only imagine it was designed for a bow where the cable guard is perfectly perpendicular to the riser.

My friend is using the Saunders on his Gladiator and it looks very close to the stock amount of cable/string pull.
