Seems like shoot thru cable systems would be practically impossible for a fingers shooter to manage. I shot the old Browning bows that tracked the cables off to the side as the bow was drawn. One bow worked very well but the other was a POS so, obviously, I came away with mixed opinions about them.
What bugs me more than anything else is the stinkin' cables we've got these days. I always thought the best design was a fastflight string with steel cables that anchored into the cams. Fastflight string, steel cables that wouldn't creep and no tear drops... To me that was the best of everything. Bear/Jennings used that setup for a year or two and I've always wondered why it didn't catch on (probably the snap-a-matic limbs they were putting out

). I have no problem with cable guards, but having to retwist creepy cables a half dozen times a season bugs me to death. Probably the main reason I've lost all interest in shooting compounds.
