Is the bowstring supposed to hit the cable guard? (Compound Bow)
I'm pretty new with compound bows.
When I fire it, the bowstring (serving) hits the cable guard and makes a loud-ish noise. Is this normal? or do I have to make some adjustments...?
Thanks to any responses

It actually hits the cable guard and splits the string in the middle.

a pic or two would help. Are you sure its the cable guard or is it the string stop? And is the string stop missing its rubber end cap? If it is the cable guard, are the cables in the cable slide on the cable guard?
