the titanium pre-stretched Dakota - I picked out bronze and freckled green.   Pretty tickled with them.

Hows the quality? I was shooting for top of the line. Which I thought Winners Choice would be it. Probably why the price is so drastic.

I haven't shot them much, but I've been assured they are good.

smossy was your stock cable slide that long?  Mine is very small and holds the cables close to the rod, with a long one like you got the cam lean would be less, but I'd have less fletch clearance too.
Are you talking about the white thing? Or the fiberglass/composite shaft that it seats onto?

^^?

the white thing, looking at your pics though I see it holds the string close to the rod.  It just seemed large to me, but the white would make it appear that way.

The installed price also included serving the string stop area, new D loop with a sweet tie up job.
Might have been a tad over 100 bucks, but I kept adding crap onto the price (like a new string stopper)  :chuckle:


I'm just tickeled the way this bow shoots now, I've always hated this bow and now I'm diggin it.   

The first time I shot 40 yards I punched 10 arrows in a 6 inch group with one flyer that made my group 10 inches - all were well within a paper plate.

I know I can get it better, that was the first time I shot it in almost 10 years.

Yeah its hard to see the shape with the white and the flash from the camera, It just all looks like one mangled mess lol But its about the same size as the stock one. It actually holds the strings closer to the rod then the stock ones, That was the whole reason I posted, I wasnt sure if that was ok or not but everyone assures me that its fine. Actually gives me more fletching clearance, not that I ever had a problem with it that... I dont think. But Like I said, it was one of the more expensive teflon slides and it was still only 15.99..
The price went up from there and those were mostly rollers, but being as the guy I am I listen to my mentors, He said SIMS Teflon... So thats what I got :chuckle:

I just love the idea of dialing up dope on my bow  :chuckle:

I've got and old cheap one and the fibers got brittle and cracked all over and broken where it goes into the pin

Mine's tool less too, which means it's too easy to bump off sight

Ive got old cheap ones of every part of my bow lol. It came with stuff on it and Ive since then replaced 90% of everything on there besides the string, string silencers, and the silencers ON the limbs.

If you are shooting a d-loop no tubing needed, get rid of that peep and tubing. Get your self a G5 meta peep and speed her up a few fps plus one less thing to break.
