Cable clearance

Cable clearance
I shoot a PSE Dakota and have a difficult time getting my feathers to clear the cables. I currently shoot a 4" feather. The cable guard is the factory supplied. Do after market guards offer more clearance? Or should I shoot shorter feathers.

RE: Cable clearance
Are your cables on the out side of the guide or inside? if they are on the inside (like my Browning was) go out and get aslide that goes on the outside of the guide. This will give you plenty of room and you will probably need to adjust your guide because there will be too much clearance. I had the same problem on my brownings. All of them got this upgradeand I never had problems with fletchings hitting my cables again.
Good Luck

I just looked up a picture of your bow and I think the cable guide holds the cables on the inboard side of the rod. Just get a different slide (for the outboard side) and your problems should be solved.

You will need a different slide, but they are not too expensive (most under $15,00) go with a nice teflon one while your at it. Kill two birds with one stone. Get more clearance and a better slide.

I was just wondering as to why you cannot just flip the slide to the other side of the guard? is this a bad thing to do?

The slides that are made to go on the outside of the guide rod have material between the rod and the cables for the cables to "slide" on.
Take a close look at some pictures of both and you will see what I'm talking about. Or better yet flip your inboard slide over and you will see first hand it won't work.
I think there are some companies that make aftermarket slides that you can use on either the inside or outside, but I think all factory slides are either inside or outside only slides.
