Default Shoot through cables

I saw an ad in Bowhunting World today (Martin) that showed shoot through cables. They look cool. Just wondering if it is worth it to buy shoot throughs or not.

Saw the same ad. Definitely would be interested in testing one out.

They are a great idea, but they have their drawbacks especially for hunting: Loading arrows (especially with broadheads), and possible contact with clothing (inside cable).

But they do pretty much eliminate cable torque.

Yeah, I don't load my arrow by pushing it past my string as it is so I don't see why one would push it through the cables with this system either. Just grab the nock end and click it on the string.

I would really like to try one myself.

I just bought a Razor x with the x cam and I will say that it is a bit akward at first but it is still pretty quick to load, just load it nock first and not point first, lot quicker and you don't worry about nicking cables with broadheads.

Also the cables only move a little in the horizontal plane, most cable movement is vertical so as long as they are not hitting your sleeze when you're a full draw you should be fine.

This is my first shoot-thru so I learning but I'm liking what I see.
