Default cable slides??

do aftermarket cable slides make any diffrence?? i see a ton of diffrent ones made. im getting ready to redo my setup starting with the string...figured that would be a good time to replace the cable slide...if it makes a diffrence...anyone wanna recomend a good on that will make a diffrence??

what about vibe killers that go on the cable gaurd behind the cable slide?? do they do their job or are a gimmick?? any wanna recomend one that works??

trying to get my bow shooting nice and smooth and quiet...i cant blame the bow soley for having a buck duck at the shot....but quieting it down cant help. already got a new stabilizer that helped..string leeches, alpha shox...now to move onto other places to help quieter her down....

Im not really sure about aftemarket cable slides, although im sure hey make some difference. Mine broke a little while back and i just had a stock on put on...i didnt really look into any aftermarket ones. Might be something to consider, espcially if it makes your bow even quieter!

The teflin cablesslides do slide smoother and reduce friction on the guiderod. First thing I put on my new Guardian. Yup.... it's white.

They're really starting to ship them now. I think Len has finally gotten his stock up to 16 but he sold another today. LOL I heard from a reliable sorce that they shipped 700 one day. The boys doing the test shoots for speed and the birth certificate were spent. LOL
