Installing the Windstalker Cable Guard

Windstalker Cable Guard and Standard Rod and Key install points

 

Follow the instructions below for a quick and simple installation

Step1:
  • Before removing the original Factory cable guard rod (A) from the bow,
       mark it with a pencil or scribe, close to the bow riser as possible.
  • This is (D) on the old  cable rod  and will determines the depth of the
       new  Windstalker Cable Guard in the riser.
  • After the mark is made remove the old cable guard rod.

  • Step2:
  • At the hole where the old rod was removed, put the Windstalker Cable
      Guard on the side of the bow riser.
  • Slide the new  Cable Guard back until the cables align at the cable stop
      where the arms and cable stop meet at the String Set-Up (E).
  • This is approximately 1/4 " in from the back of the cable stop (B), with
      cables at (E)  mark the rod on the new Cable Guard at the bow riser.
  • This now becomes (D) on the new Windstalker Cable Guard.

  • Step 3:
  • Take the old rod and place it beside the new Windstalker Cable Guard
       and align the two (D) marks.
  • Mark the end of the old rod (C) onto the new cable guard (add 1/8th inch)
       to the length of  the new rod before marking with a pencil or  scribe.
  • This is the depth needed to install the new Windstalker cable guard on  bow.
  • Now cut off the excess rod length of the new Windstalker cable guard.
  • Note: It is better to cut the new rod slightly longer then too short.
  • If the uncut rod is not in the way delay cutting until all other alignments
       are done. This allows for final adjustments.

  • Step 4:
  • Slide  Windstalker Cable Guard rod into mounting hole of old cable guard.
  • Rotate the top button so that the shortest groove is in the forward position.
  • Rotate the bottom button so that the deepest groove is in the forward position.
  • Place the front string in the top forward groove and then in the bottom rear groove.

  • Step 5:
  • Place the rear string in the top rear groove and in the bottom front groove.
  • Both strings should now be in the buttons.
  • When looking at the Windstalker guard from the shooting position
       the strings should be separated and not crossed.

  • Step 6:
  • Rotate the guard out to give clearance for the arrow fleches.

  • Step 7:
  • Place the Cables behind the Cable Stop (B) so that they touch
       the back of the Cable Stop.

  • Step 8:
  • After Cable Guard is adjusted for clearance tighten all the screws.
  • Make sure the new  Cable Guard is locked down to prevent  movement.

  • MAINTENANCE:
  • Add 1 or 2 drops of Teflon Oil to the rear moving parts of the Cable Guard.

  • NOTE:
  • Windstalker Cable Guards mounted on the side of Riser require
       a Universal Bracket WS-2 or Roller Bracket WS-3.
