Default RE: Alpine Glide Slide on a Patriot

Well I got two new glide slides in the mail from Alpine. I installed both on my bowtech patriot and stalker and neither worked properly[&o]. Both of the rollers on both slides just set there stationary. I don't know if I'm asking too much for the rollers to rotate, but the last ones did. I'm not sure if my cable and string are too lubed or what. After ~20 shots each I removed and trimmed some rubber on the inside of both slides. This freed the weels up some, but only the front roller wants to rotate during the draw.

Since both still provide some sound dampening and don't seem to cause my string and cable any wear I guess I will use them until I get off my rear and order a hicks or bomar.

Good luck w/ yours. Until they improve them somehow I can no-longer recommend them.
