cable slides??
 

do aftermarket cable slides make any diffrence?? i see a ton of diffrent ones made. im getting ready to redo my setup starting with the string...figured that would be a good time to replace the cable slide...if it makes a diffrence...anyone wanna recomend a good on that will make a diffrence??

what about vibe killers that go on the cable gaurd behind the cable slide?? do they do their job or are a gimmick?? any wanna recomend one that works??

trying to get my bow shooting nice and smooth and quiet...i cant blame the bow soley for having a buck duck at the shot....but quieting it down cant help. already got a new stabilizer that helped..string leeches, alpha shox...now to move onto other places to help quieter her down....

Im not really sure about aftemarket cable slides, although im sure hey make some difference. Mine broke a little while back and i just had a stock on put on...i didnt really look into any aftermarket ones. Might be something to consider, espcially if it makes your bow even quieter!

RE: cable slides??
 

The teflin cablesslides do slide smoother and reduce friction on the guiderod. First thing I put on my new Guardian. Yup.... it's white.

RE: cable slides??
 

David, thats a good looking bow, i wonder why they made them white? haha, thats one think that Ross does that i never understood.

Anyway, i got one just like it on its way to my house, they ran out of the Hardwoods Grey, so im waiting two weeks while they get some more dipped [:@]

RE: cable slides??
 

They're really starting to ship them now. I think Len has finally gotten his stock up to 16 but he sold another today. LOL I heard from a reliable sorce that they shipped 700 one day. The boys doing the test shoots for speed and the birth certificate were spent. LOL

RE: cable slides??
 

Haha...700 in a day..i bet they were worn out!

RE: cable slides??
 

david...who makes that one?? i looked at some catalogs and theres tons of diffrent teflon slides out there...all look a bit diffrent..i dont know what difference they make...none really look like my hoyt slide so i dont know...

thats an awesome lookin bow...if i didnt tell ya once or twice already..

RE: cable slides??
 

Yes.


I put this one on this morning and I like it a lot........VERY smooth and looks freakin' sweet.

Here's some pics on my bow.

One more.

RE: cable slides??
 

Atlas, thats a darn good looking cable slide

RE: cable slides??
 

thanx atlas....that looks AWESOME. i think that will be the one i order.


does the teflon ones work well when wet?? i know teflon is very slick. the reason i asked, i noticed when drawing in the rain my plastic one will kinda stick. makes for a rough noisey draw. im guessing teflon makes for a smooth draw and shoot.

that one will match my bow and quiver too!! awesome...i like the looks and design of that

Atlas

What bow is that.... 03 Patriots don't have camo cable guards [8D]

RE: cable slides??
 

Thanks...........I'm sure you will like it. It only comes in HD Green but mine has very little green on it ........which is good because the bow is Hardwoods HD. It's a great match.


Yes on all counts.

I'll be honest with you........I bought it BASED on looks..........thankfully it works as good as it looks...........mine is very slick and glides very nicely with no stickiness.

One thing...........make sure your cable rod is clean because it may be wax or something else on the rod causing the stickiness you are getting.

RE: cable slides??
 

I would guess from looking at that cable guard and the strings that it's an Equalizer.

RE: cable slides??
 

Gold star for being observant ;)

I grabbed another bow to basically do a lot of experimenting with in the yard this year......and shoot some 3D.

It's a 2006 C-rackerized Equalizer in Hardwoods HD.

RE: cable slides??
 

Wow, Greg..........you get a BIG gold star :D


Nice guess...........what gave it away???........the crossing below the guard??

RE: cable slides??
 

thanx atlas. the only time i get that stickyness is when its raining out and theres water on the rod/guard. i cant say ive fired it that way. always when im hunting...ill draw every once in a while to warm up the muscles and keep focus etc...and when its wet i noticed that..call me a sissy i havent shot in the rain...though i know i need to since i hunt in the rain.

pretttttty sure my highlander is HD green. and so is my alpine soft loc i believe...i dont REALLY care...my stabilizer dont match...but i got a 10" doinker for like 15$...cant beat that with a stick. and it works nicely...cant complain about looks...and i never match my camo on myself or gear period lol. i wear whats comfy and functional.

RE: cable slides??
 

Would you believe me if I said I just knew my Bowtechs that well? :D

That IS an awesome-looking slide; I may order me up one of those to try out myself... especially since I've got a Hardwoods HD bow sitting around waiting to be outfitted... :)

RE: cable slides??
 

I would now

It is pretty sweet.........I like alpine's accessories........I also got their new Bear Claw 3 arrow quiver which I like a lot. Also in Hardwoods HD (They have a 5 arrow one as well). It is very adjustable and very quiet.
