Yes and yes :D . Sims is a great slide but is too much for the BowTechs because the sight window is cut out so far.

welp, now i've got something to replace. who's got the hicks for sale?

RE: What is the benefit of the Hicks?
 

I found with the stock slide on the Liberty, that it did not pull the cables over far enough, thus causing some fletching contact issues for my particular set up. I tried the simms and found the same as the others. It pulled them over too far. The Hicks white teflon seems to work perfect. It would be nice if Bowtech would put this slide on all their bows. Any chance of this happening Pat???? :)

How can I tell if the simms slide is causing too much torque? I had to change from the stock because of fletching contact on my 03 Patriot. The Simm did pull it over far enough to clear the fletching and the bow is shooting well. Is this going to cause problems down the road?

Elk--actually on the Patriot Dually some adjustment on the yokes to lean the cam towards the cable guard is necessay so as to get the cables in line with the cam track.
If the slide pulls the cables too close to the guard you will notice visible cam lean at full draw.
I've also found the arrow tends to move to the left on a RH bow, when this happens.

I'm not a big fan of Bowtech's stock cable slide either. It seems to wear the cables more than others out there. My personal preference is to use a stock Hoyt slide, cuz I got a few laying around (read cheap), and the wear problem is gone. The amount they pull over is similar to the stock bowtech slide.

I agree with Rod... I've used the Hoyt slides many times and they work very well. IME the BT slides are hit or miss. I kept the stock slide on my Liberty as it's been as good as any other slide I've used..almost no wear at all. But many BT slides I've had are absolutely brutal on the cable(s)/string.

Does the MZE slide pull the cables over to far???
