I just bought a Alpine Frontier Compund bow and after a few weeks of shooting it the plastic piecies that slides on the cable guard is making a God awful noise making my bow no longer silent. Anyone ever expirence this problem and how do I fix it? Can provide a pic if needed. Thanks
-
are you talking about the cable slide? If so, you can either swap it out with a new teflon slide or just put some lube on it.
-
I allways replace factory cable slides with teflon right from the start.
-
About how much do the Teflon slides cost and what lube would be recommended? I assume the cable slide is the plastic piece attached to the strings that moves on along the cable guard. I'm pretty new to it so I don't know.
-
?? probably 10 bucks ... don't know exactly it's been awhile sine I needed one but I'd replace it before using lube but that's just my personal preference.
-
alright but what about the cable gaurd (the bar itself) itself being all scuffed up will that mess up a new one?
-
no it wont be a prob when you get a new teflon cable slide it will speed up your bow a foot or two per second
-
Nice! Thanks all

Check and see if the guide rod has loosened up and rotated some. rotation or looseness could make the guide slide at an angle and make noise... just a thought.
