I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out. Im getting some wear on the 3 o'clock vane and on my cable. The vane is rubbing on the cable. Is there anything i can do to fix this or should i try some different arrows and see if that helps. Thanks for your help!

If your cable guard is adjustable you can swing it out a bit more. It's possible that your cables are meant to be on the outside of the guard instead of hung from the inside (if it's an older bow). You can rotate your nock a bit as long as you're still clearing through your rest. I imagine that your tuning will improve dramatically when you get this fixed.

I hade the same issue with my Browning Tornado last year. I tried putting the cable slide on the outside of the gaurd but the sting had such a big angle on it, it was tearing my serving while going through the axle. I tried a smaller, low profile slide and my inner fletching was still hitting the cable. I then refletched my arrows with low profile vanes... problem solved. (That and i bought a new bow, that helped also.)
