Your talking about your cable guard/ roller guard? What model bow are you talking here?

The entire carbon rod or just the little cable slide?

If it is just a slide no big deal. They all eventually wear out and break, especially the plastic ones that come from the factory. Get a good teflon slide and you are back in business.

Both issues that it could be could be fixed for less than $5. No problem. Either put the carbon rod back in and tighten it or get new cable slide.

Sounds like the cable slide. $5.00 repair

I had the same problem with the carbon rod on my Tomkat. I just re-inserted it firmly and tightened it down and the problem was solved.

Don't just replace it with any old cable slide. Check out some of the more popular cables slides while you're at it. Good excuse to get a better one.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. While I've been rebuked in the past for saying this....The cable slides put on by the factory were the worst I've ever seen!. Good news is, it's a cheap repair. Go out and get an aftermarket slide, they're everywhere and go from about $5.00 to $15.00 depending on the brand.

Whatever you do though don't say Bowtech dropped the ball on the cable slide design.....it's just your imagination that this is happening....:eek::eek:
