The wife's Defender came out of the box with the top cable (center cable track on the top cam) crossing on the inside of the bottom cable, or to the left, while holding the bow in front of you on a right handed bow. I changed my Allegiance to the Defender's rigging and did see a marked improvement in cable torque. I had to turn the slide upside down to match the Defender's slide (with the long slot towards the riser) to gain the necessary clearance between the cables. Both cables still cross below the guard rod
