In one your serving is coming undone or is broken, the other just looks like wear.

Time to reserve or replace your cables and string.

That's what I figured, I just put the string on about 2 months ago.

Looks like your cable roller is the culprit to be honest, make sure there is no burrs on it that can cause damage.

Yes it's looking like that to me too. It makes a weird sound when I draw the bow so I was thinking something to do with the cable roller

It looks like from the picture that both cables are trying to run in the same track.

Thanks.

I'm wondering if the correct cable is running in the correct spot. Maybe the cables are crossed wrong.

That must have been a fairly stiff draw with the cables lying on top of each other.

APA had a problem with cable guides not being deep enough. I had the same problem when I bought my X7. Take a picture and send it into Nibal at APA, they will send you a new one with the correct depth.

Looks like something hit my cable roller causing a burr, which then damaged my serving. The bow is in the process of getting fixed now
