RE: Crossbow strings.
Yes it's the same x-bow. I called SG customer service and they said the x-bow came from Master Cutlery. I found their web site and sent 2 e-mails asking for the replacement strings. So far no reply.
I contacted a couple of local archery shops including the Gander Moutain here where I live. The problem is that this is the 1st year that Virginia legelized hunting with a x-bow. Add to the fact that the didn't decide to pass it until May or June. So the locals are behind and just don't have the equipment to make x-bow strings . They tell me you need a different machine for a x-bow stringthan you do for compound, recurve or long bow.
