Default Cable guard on 06 Bowtech's?

How is the camo cableguard holding up on the new Bowtechs? I was just wondering if the camo is coming off or anything like that. And do you lose any speed with these cable guards because of the camo coating?

I have taken right around 800 shots with my 06 BowTech and have not seen any signs of wear on cable gaurd. As far as your speed loss question...I don't know, I have nothing to compare it to.

Mildot, I've also wondered how long the paint job will last, are you using the stock slide?

I have around 500-600 shots through my Tribute with no signs of wear on the camo.

The speed loses ??? I don't know about but I'm still getting an arrow out there at 311fps. w/ only a 28.5 DL...Good Enough for Me!!!

I have shot a comparable number of shots out of my '06 Old Glory and have not noticed any camo wear either. The only way you would be able to compare a loss of speed is with a standard black, unpainted cable rod. I haven't looked at mine yet but I would assume they are glued in? I cannot imagine the speed loss would be significant..maybe 1-2 fps if at all, especially when you consider the distance the slide actually travels on the rod itself.
