My crossbow came with a seperate package with cable slides. Does anyone know what they are and do I need them? What is the purpose?

The cable slides prevent wear on the cables. If you don't use them your cables with fray after only a few shots.

They fit into the open slot.The slider has 2 different size grooves.Make sure you get the right line in the proper size groove and the lines should be facing down.When viewing the cable slide from the side, with the concave surface facing up, notice that one of the two cable notches is positioned deeper into the cable slide than the other.

You definitely need to install them on the rail before you fire it. I bought mine from Bass Pro that was badly assembled without cable slides and the strings frayed in less than twenty shots. Thanks to the local archery range I brought it back to have it replaced

I think there were some intructions with them but they are for the strings that are in the slot of the crossbow, to get them in you'll have to dissasemble the thing, that center bolt that holds the bow onto the rifle needs to come back off, then the slide is more or less fitted to the stings and you have to hold it in place and slide the strings into the slot and reassemble, i made the discovery once i had the thing put together and had to take it apart to put the slide in, im pretty sure its to make it easyer on the string and will probably save replacing the string too soon

I don't know if you nessesarily need them, I put them on, just put one of them on before you put the limbs on.

The quiver I got with my crossbow broke, the mounting hardward. That's what I purchased this quiver for the hardware. Hope this helped.

They're the slide guard. Pictured in figure #7 in my manual, but not noted by letter.

My Buck Commander came with 20" bolts and they fit the crossbow perfectly. I would not want an extra 2" on my bolts!

I assume you're talking about how the cable is connected with the U shaped bracket? The reason it's set up like that is because it needs to be able to slide back as the bow is cocked it can't be bolted to the frame or the bow couldn't bend back.

No scope, no quiver, no bolts, comes as just the base crossbow; everything needed to fire it. It's a really good bow, love it, Horton hasn't made crossbow's for about a year now, so you might want to consider getting a new string. After about 50 shots I had to change mine, total of $40. Also the crossbow comes in camo, not black, but you can see that from the other comments.

Cables are separate. I cut off the plug ends and wired them directly. Paying $25 each for connecting cables/plugs seems ridiculous to me. I did save the plugs I removed. I will use them later in a different project I am using industrial 12g copper wire. It looks like you have a complete package EXCEPT wire to hook everything up

It's can be used for either compound or crossbow when you purchase them they have a heavy clip or a standard clip if you were shooting compound you standard clip if you are using crossbow use the heavy clips the instructions are in the package

The new sight has a stud on the bottom that fits in the slot in the slide. Sometimes this needs a little bit of fitting. The sight is held on the slide with a tiny screw that is provided with the sight. I highly recommend you purchase the little sight installation socket or grind down one of your own. With the proper socket size, it is not too difficult to install the sight. Also advise you to clean the sight hole and the screw with alcohol and put some Blue Locktite on the threads.

The Carbon Express Covert 1 does not appear to have the pin slots that this Barnett sling uses to adhere the sling to the crossbow stock. I would think Barnett accessories are made for Barnett bows. Carbon Express has a sling in their 2012 catalogue: http://www.carbonexpressarrows.com/sites/default/files/CX_Crossbow2012_Catalog.pdf

when i got my was brand new. it is a really nice crossbow. i recommend to get the crossbow cocking device and get a pro installed for you. you have to be in really good shape to load the bow with the regular cocking rope! always put bow wax in all your strings and barnett lube wax in the rail!!

It appears that the crossbow in the photo has a track that forces the arms downward if the cocking lever is in the shooting position. My crossbow is not like the one pictured. From a usage standpoint, it really doesnt matter where the arms are as long as they are in front of the bowstring when it is not cocked. If I were you, I would not return it, the chances of you getting one like the picture might be slim and none.

Comes with 2 black aluminum arrows and a single string. I suggest getting more of both in the same package

Yes it comes with that but I only got 10 shots from this crossbow and it broke so I never got to try it out.

They have instructions with photos on their website. If I recall correctly, you need a grinder or dremel to cut off the end of the cable, then it unscrews from the old part. You also have to drill out a couple rivets to disassemble the track to install this. If they forgot to add the instructions to your box, you can get them online. It sounds like a lot of work, but isn't bad and its a huge improvement over buying another unit that will break again in six months.
