Do you guys think they pull the cable over too much on all bowtech or just the E cams?

. Sims is a great slide but is too much for the BowTechs because the sight window is cut out so far.

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?

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.
