archerjg Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I went out to shoot today and had checked everything out and it all looked fine. I shot a half dozen arrows through the Whitetail Master and it starts to pull funny and gets loud when shot. I start looking at the cams and the string is coming apart and fraying almost in two in a places. I quit shooting right then and I am very thankful that the string did not give out while I was drawing. I had already planned on replacing the strings on both bows this year just later on in the summer as they still looked good. Looks like now I will be going to the pro shop tomorrow to get them both restrung. Keep an eye on those strings while shooting.

Guest RJK Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: Check Those Strings!!!! Depends on how much you shoot you bow. I would suggest watching for signs of wear on the string around the cams. Probably not a bad idea to take your bow apart every year and do some cleaning and maintenance.

Born4it Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Re: Check Those Strings!!!! I've got some first hand experience with not paying enough attention to my bowstring...I was goin out to my farm this fall all pumped about the evening's hunt and I opened up my bowcase and my string was snapped, frayed all over the place. Those were some of the most quiet four-letter words I've ever said I agree with the title! Check those strings!!! Good luck, RYan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
