The string on a compound xbow yourself. Are there after market presses for them or do you definately have to bring them to a pro shop. Also,can you re-serve the string while it's still on the bow? Thanks in advance

well....the Bowtech stryker comes with a harness and an extra string that attaches to the limbs. When let down it holds the tension that allows you to change it very easily.

Interesting,what do you do,draw it back then relax it and the harness holds it?

The shops use a Bow press, but some of the Presses will not fit the shorter limbs.
The Sportsmen's Center put a String on for a friend of mine for $5. Took 10 minutes.

I haven't had it long enough to change the string yet

 

[smitty]

string replacement will vary it all bows are diferent and so are the owner's 700-800 is good service and like 400-600 on the serving

 

[Excalibur]

this is one good reason to look at a recurve xbow, ya can do it yourself in about a minute or less...in the field or at home

 

[smitty]

no i dont think so EX even if you have to press them it only takes a minute and who carrys a string in the field pluse you should never let it get to where it would have to be replaced in the field

 

[Excalibur]

smitty, i do carry an extra string and what if you damage the string on a branch or somewhere and just wanna be safe and change it....i carry an extra string and the string changing device....which is only a string with 2 rings on each end

also, if i more major problems i will have an extra xbow with me....just incase

that's why i bought a silverado with an 8 foot bed and put a cap on it....so i can bring all kinds of extra stuff [hihi]

 

[smitty]

i do carry an extra string

[medge]

Wrong, because xbows are louder we get to start sooner [rofl][rofl]

This surprises me,I thought the serving only lasted up to 100 shots.
