Abstract
An apparatus and a method for guiding or allowing movement of a line as the line travels along or with respect to a shaft, such as an arrow shaft or any other suitable similar shaft. A slide is movably mounted on an outer surface of the shaft. A body of the slide has a bore, such as a through-bore, to which the line can secured and thus travel, such as when discharging an arrow from an archery bow. A stop can be secured to the shaft and form a projection that can be used to prevent the slide from dismounting from the shaft.
