Default Mathews SQ2

I need help from someone that owns a SQ2 or has access to one. Please look at your bow, and tell me which way the cable guide slide is mounted on the 3/8" rod. The guide is wedge shaped, is the high side toward the shooter or is it away from the shooter?

Let me ask the question in a different way, here is a drawing of the guide, viewing it from the top, you can see it it wedge shaped, I need to know, which direction it is suppose to go. High side toward the shooter, or high side toward the grip. Depending on how it is mounted the cables/string, touch slightly where they cross, or are about 1/8" apart. I haven't found a picture, of a SQ2 from the top down, always saw pictures of the bow laying on it's side, you can't tell how the guide is mounted in a side view. This problem all started after I took my bow to an archery shop to have the cables and string changed. This week when I got the bow out, I noticed the archey shop had the cable slide on in such a way that the string and cable crossed, above the 3/8" cable guide rod. It sould cross below the rod. I changed it, so it now crossed below the rod. I just need to know which direction the wedge is suppose to be facing.

Trushot_Archer,
Yes I did. Thanks again for the web site address of that other forum. Someone from that other site, owned a SQ2 and was able to answer my question. I guess no one on this site owns a Mathews SQ2, other than myself. Apperently, few SQ2's were sold, as even the support tech, on the Mathews web site couldn't answer my question. Thanks again for your help

I just got my Mathews bow back, from another string and cable change. This time I took it to a different archery shop. It now sounds and shoots like it did when I bought it in 2002. The shop did a great job. I highly recommend Country Woods Archery, south of St. Johns.
