shedhunternick Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Shooting my bow today i was pulling back when the string slipped through my release and i punched myself in the face. Upon inspection I noticed that my release had worn through the serving. So how much does it cost to have it re served by a bowsmith? its not the black plastic serving it's like a heavy black string serving. On my Martin Tracer if that would help.

shedhunternick Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 i looked at my bowstring a little more carefully today and the string is fraying where the serving used to be. im thinking theres a burr or something on my release cuz it chews through loops too. So more than likely ill have to get it replaced or maybe look into a new bow cuz ill be buying one next year anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 With the videos out there on the Internet and the inexpensive cost of a spool of serving on Ebay or elsewhere....it would be an easy choice and it's something I'm sure you could handle doing well taking your time;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 $10 to $15 bucks around here to reserve the center serving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoytHunter5293 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 my bow shop services for free if you bought the bow there .. tis nice very nice.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Order my strings and harnesses, got my own serving jig and do all my own work. So, with the exception of the cost on the string and harness as well as the first cost of the jig and serving spool, labor is free. Most shops will charge a flat rate of 20 to 30 dollars to work on a bow not sold at their shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
