Alot depends on the string, what string are they putting on it? The rest is labor and depends what they charge for that.

I'd say your probably looking at $80.00 for the string and cable's but for the rest I'm not sure .I'd not put the tube peep on I'd go with a tubeless peep ,The tube I found would break at the worst time's and would have to be replaced ,and you wouldn't want it to break when your about to make the shot at a lifetime, it's happened to me on severel occasion's either the tube come undone or the tube broke. The tube attach's to your string or cable's and does affect your speed a tiny bit ,I'd try the Fletcher tru peep it will rotate on it's own without having to worry about whether your tube is going to come undone or break . The tru peep come's in 3 size's of hole's if your hunting only I'd recommend the large and if your shooting 3D I'd go with the small ,I use mine for 3D and hunting and have gone with the medium peep ,but I'll likely change to the large this season for hunting. This is just from my experience of what work's for me .

I ust paid $75 for a Vapor Trail VTX string and cable. I put it on myself though. There are a lot of other decent ones out there that are good for much less, but this was supposed to be the latest greates thing and I wanted to try the new toy and had money burning a hole in my pocket.

We don't charge for string installation or peeps at our store, if you buy them from us (Gander Mt, Harrisburg, Pa.). To that end I'd say you're looking at $25 or a little less for string and peep. Or depending on what string it could be as little as $15. If you'd like a single cam Zebra then you're looking at $35 or so, not that I'd spend the money for one. I do spend that kind of money, but get mine from Prostrings.

I guess I'm little off when it come's to cost of String's and cable's .But my excuse is that I'm in Canada and thing's cost a whole lot more here .

nubo, You're from Canada? I knew there was something very strange about you. And I am aware that there is a "slight" difference in costs in your neck of the woods compared to the states. I don't envy you that.

Oh a funny guy eh?LOL I agree I don't envy me either except for some great hunting in these neck of the wood's .
