RE: Bowtech Cable clearance problem?
 

On my Liberty it's close. I shoot it cock vane out which gives plenty of clearance. On my P40 Dually, I can shoot cock vane down with lots of room. Both bows have Trophy Taker dropaways on them.
I did notice when I shot all the new bows with prong rests and big feathers, some were hitting the cables.

Jeff,
I'll try to get my hands on a digital camera this weekend & send you a pic. I'll also check the cable rod as you mentioned. I get a little contact with the cables on my Liberty shooting through my NAP 3000 rest.

RE: Bowtech Cable clearance problem?
 

I noticed this also. I have to keep my cock vane pointing out on my Liberty. I am using 4" Duravanes and if I have the cock vane down, the vanes will nick the cables. Luckily, I am shooting a dropaway and I can just put the cock vane down. I will get a few pics and post them tommorow or Sunday sometime.

It isn't a big problem for me, but, I can see how others would find it to be.

CWB, what do you have center shot set at? I know the NAP 1000 will not go far enough left. I assume the 3000 will? Just curious.

Jeff,
I took a couple pics a while ago & will email them to you shortly. I'd post them here if I knew how.

The 3000 has enough adjustment that is should work just fine. That's what I'm using on my Liberty. I get just a little bit of contact if I shoot the cock feather straight down. I've widened out the prongs on my rest a little, and rotated the arrow so the cock feather is angled slightly away from the cable. It's just enough to eliminate the contact problem.

I'll keep shooting it this way until the season is over. But I plan to shoot a fatter arrow for 3D this summer, which will push the feathers further out so I think I'll have to do something a little different. I do have a Sims cable slide from another bow so I'll probably try that as Rack mentioned. Just sliding it up behind the stock cable slide, it looks like it will pull the cables in enough to eliminate the problem.

For the folks having clearance issues using vanes:

What vanes & shafts are you using and what is your centerhsot measurment (from edge of arrow pass at berger button to middle of arrow shaft) ?

Jeep..I emailed you 'bout the pics.

I own a 2003 Pro 40 Dually and have no problem shootin 3" feathers cock feather down, but am interested to see if there could be an issue due to the new riser design moving the string over into the center of the grip or if its just due to improper setup. Hopefully the latter.

Jeff,
I'm currently shooting some Easton Epics at approx. 0.3" diameter. I'm using 4" Truflight feathers with a 9/16" profile. Center shot is at 7/8".

Mine will just brush a bit on my MM. I have the MZE and shoot fat alums and a 5" hellical feather though. Cock vain at perfect horizantal and it clears.

BowTech Dually, I just got an 04 P40 Dually. There's plenty of room to shoot cock vane down. I'm using PSE Comp Pros with 4" AAE vanes and a Trophy Taker rest. This thing smokes. How's this for 20 and 30 yd pin gap?

Oops, forgot the pic.
