My raptor did not have a slide , it does have a plastic piece that the cables slide on .
Check the cam axles ,i had the same partial dry fire and the axles got bent bent .

 

Good to know. I will definitely check them out.

 

Good thing I looked because they look bent in while on the bow. I will pull them but it's not looking good.

 

With care, the axles can be straightened. There is more chance of damaged cam bearings.
My Barnett Ghost 410's came with poor quality bearings like one uses in remote toys. These
bearings had over size axle holes and some did not have any grease. Ordering new bearings,
which Barnett did not sell separately at the time, I had to purchase cams with the bearings
installed. These bearings had the same over size axle hole. My thought here is if the bearings
were imported, the measurement conversion was wrong. I replaced the bearings with a one
piece bushing that gives full support to the axle. No more problem.
All the best.

 

My Raptor FX2 has no cable slide it's a teflon strip in there. Hope his cams are not screwed.

 

Ok thanks for all the tips here. I will remove the string and cables and check things out. The only Barnett dealer in my area is Dicks sporting goods and I hope they order the correct parts when the time comes. I know dealing with these box stores can be difficult.

 

Ok I removed the harness and relaxed the bow. I had to actually remove the limbs from the pockets to pull them off the axle. Now I was left with the cams with the axle still inside. They were bent bad lol. Its going to take some careful hammering to get them out. Thanks for all the help.

 

You will not, cannot straighten bent axles period!!!! You need new ones and also betting you will need new cams also.

 

Any Barnett dealers PM me. I need axles

 

I would call Barnett direct.

 

I got the axles out and they have a good bend in them. I will definitely replace them and not straighten them. Looking at the cams with the naked eye they look ok but I will inspect them with straight edge and lay them on a flat surface. I have been trying to get customer service on the phone with no luck. I get disconnected right away. Thanks for all the help so far.

 

Well I got a hold of Barnett customer service and they were a pleasure to deal with. I told them it was a dry fire and they are sending the axles at no charge!! A big thanks to Barnett.

 

Happy to hear things worked out for you.
All the best.

 

Bow is back together again. Thanks to all that helped and thanks to Barnett for the free parts and quick shipping!!

 

They've always been easy to deal with (at least that's been my experience). I needed new bolt tension guides for my Raptor FX, and when I reached out, they sent me several for free. Something to be said for living in the same state as the manufacturer.

 

Mine did the same thing. I replaced the cams. Cam axles bearings cable n string. Basically rebuilt it but no problems since n that was 3 yrs ago. Love my raptor
