Which one of these should I get? The old one on my bow seemed to really wear down that cable pretty quickly...
Does it matter

Maybe its just me but does the Ultra Super slide look to be pretty big?
If so then I would be a little hesitant on buying this one as I would be afraid of fletching contact----hmmmmm-----any thoughts on this or am i wrong.
I do know you cant go wrong with the sims virgin teflon,great slide

I don't think it would matter. Just don't get the one that looks like it has the rollers, they are plastic not metal and they get flat spots.

Funny how I've seen this with other thimgs and did not see this hear. Thanks for the heads up!

Forgive me if i'm looking at them incorrectly, but only one of those will work on your bow.
The round one looks like it's designed for bows whose cable/string run along the outside of the cable guard.
The traditional looking one is for the design which pulls on you cables/string from the cable guard and holds them away from the guard slightly. This design is for the cable/string that run inside the cable guard.
IMHO the Saunders super slide is one great slide, if you can afford the angle at which they pull your string and cable out of the way. They looked to pull my stuff too far over (increase serving wear if so) so i had to stick with my alpine slide glide- which also another great slide, but will stretch out in time.

get a hicks 3-d slide. it pulls the cable and string inbetween how far a bowtech one does which is too little, and what a sims does which is much too much. make sure you get the brown 3-d slide. john
