Default RE: Cable slide queston

Sorry, but no I don't.
I did install one of those on my Patriot for a couple of minutes and it felt great to shoot, shot the same speed as my (non-rolling) glide slide, which was 1 fps faster than either the stock or a Simms.
BUT the slide pulled the cables over too far IMHO. It was designed (IMHO) for a cable rod that extends straight back from the riser at no angle. The patriots’ cable rod seems to angle out and away from the risers flat edge. This causes the Saunders to pull WAY over.

I called Saunders to see if they planned on making a slide to accommodate bowtech style bows and the answer was a bewildered "no".

If all you are worried about is the non-rolling vs. rolling issue I'd say give it a shot. They slots in the Teflon are nicely cut/molded and create very little to no wear as far as I could see.
It's the amount of pull that worried me.
