I checked out high country archery web and its for the newer bows..I'm waiting for a e-mail to ask on there fourm page...thanks ed...the draw lenght worked out fine

It all depends on the age of the bow. If it is relatively new they should be able to get parts. If I need parts I go to a Archery shop that carries my bow and order what I need. Some work may be required to be done at the shop though depending on the warranty on the bow.

Getting parts for older bows can be a problem. Ebay as well as AT Classifieds are a good place to start if your local dealer can not help you.

dan, thanks...trader jan's said that a bowmaker only has to stock parts for 10 years after that they don't have to....not sure how true this is or generally how long a company stocks parts...but is something for people who are buying older bows to think about..
