How a $20.993 upgrade can transform your bow’s performance and shooting experience
The Hidden Struggle Every Archer Faces
Every archer knows the frustration: you’ve dialed in your sight, perfected your form, but still encounter inconsistent arrow flight. The culprit often lies in an overlooked component – the cable guard system. Most bowhunters either tolerate the limitations of their stock TRS system or waste money on incompatible upgrades that introduce new problems.
“I went through three different cable guards before discovering the FRS system. The difference in shot consistency was immediate and measurable.” – Mark T., competitive archer since 2012
The PSE FRS Cable Guard System represents a breakthrough in archery cable management, offering a direct replacement for the 2017 TRS system while being compatible with any bow using the Flex Slide system. At just $20.993, it solves multiple performance issues that plague even high-end compound bows.
Why Your Current Cable Guard Is Holding You Back
The Physics of Frustration: How Cable Guard Design Impacts Accuracy
Traditional cable guards create three fundamental problems that the PSE FRS system eliminates:
1. Cable Slap
The audible “slap” during release isn’t just annoying – it indicates energy loss and potential torque introduction to your shot.
2. Friction Points
Standard cable guards create multiple contact points that gradually wear cables and introduce inconsistent resistance.
3. Brace Height Limitations
Most aftermarket systems force you to compromise your ideal brace height for compatibility.
