There are 3 models of slides listed under the Hicks name on Lancasters website. You want the white one listed as the "3D" slide. This makes a difference as the others are pulling the cables over too far or not enough. If I still had an extra I'd send it to you but my last 2 are on Dan'snew bow and my new Guardian. [8D]

This may be a little bit dumb, but I’m helping a kid at work setup his bow and I had to adjust the cable slide over to get his blazers to clear. It’s a low end Martin, mag Cat or something. I get clearance, but it does look like its pulled over farther than it should be, although if I move it anymore in, it’ll hit. Are there some bows that just don’t have the geometry to use blazers without having to yank over the cables too much?

I didn't like the cable slide that came on my Guardian at all. It had a sticky chattering to it. Before I left the shop I changed it out to an aftermarket deal. Love it.
