What are clearence issues?, and why have I never had to deal with these on my Mathews?
Sometimes the cables get in the way of the innermost vane when using Blazers.

You've probably never had to deal with it on a Mathews....because it usually only affects bows shooting over 260fps.

Because you're worrying too much about uneven nock travel andtolerance issues.[8D]

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]
They all say 3D. One says hunting, other target, and the other says 70-10 3D. Which one should I get for my Guardian? I don't shoot blazers, so clearance is not as much an issue, but cables more out of peep view would be nice. I have aftermarket Eastman slide now (which I think is similar offset as Sims), but it does pull to the side quite a bit. Which Hicks slide would pull over more than stock, but not a lot?

Jeff I'm glad the Simms worked. I was worried you wouldn't be able to use those arrows!

I think it's also the only white one, Matt. I think the other two are burgundy and black.

I recall you saying to order the white one?
