Default More Pics of Gibblet Strings.........

I just wanted to post some more pics of these since I know these weren't easy for John to make, and the last pics were horrible quality pics and didn't do this beautiful string justice. These really are some awesome quality strings, the quality is just as good as the other bigger brand names I have owned in the past, and the service is MUCH better.

They are solid royal blue cables, and a 3 color string that includes silver, royal blue, and black.

Beautiful work right there!

I don't shoot a loop, soI have no idea... but that thing looks extra big to me... am I just seeing things?

I've said it before, Rick; that's one pretty bow you've got there!!

Yep your loop is a little large.. But then, you might like it like that... But I love that marble color, that is the same I have on my competiton pro 40 dually.

This coming from a guy who had a 6" loop on his bow when he first brought it to me to check over

rickjames, i've got a question. do you have one of those cables on backwards? what i mean is, both of the long serving ends of the cables are on the same side of the bow. aren't the 10" runs of serving supposed to be on opposite ends of the bow?

Haha......why yes sir they are. Didn't notice that though. Hmmmm....gonna have to change that tonight.

About the loop.....yes, it was a bit long but I like them longer. I feel itprevents string TQ when using a BT release that doesn't have a swiveling head like my BT gold. I am actually not using a loop anymore on my competition bows because of the string torque issue.

While we're at it I'll post up my photos too. Just had them put on last night and shot for the first time with my new STS and all I can say is WOW. I love this bow.

Rick.

When you redo the cables the long serving is on the inside (towards the riser) of each cam.

Just incase you forgot

Justin.

Nice looking string and cable on a sweet bow

Looking at Justin's bow makes me want one in Mossy Oak Obsession just so the camo'd Limb Savers would match up better!

Yes, I'm one of those weirdos where everything has to match! [8D]

Wonder when they'll make Limb Savers in Hardwoods HD?
