yea the impression i got is he didnt want to take the time to re-serve it[:'(]. it probly takes him 3 times longer to do that, and is a lot cheaper for me(more expensive for him). so he just tells people to get a new string, he has to pay the bills i guess. This isnt the only shop around that trys to sell stuff u dont need. My buddy just got into shooting and hadG.M.do some work ona used bow he picked up. well after they did he had to move his sight bracket and pins so far down he could only get a ten pin on target and that was it. he couldn't figure it out. they had his nockset all wrong and his peep was ontly 3 1/2inches up from the nockset. I adjustedthe nock setfor him and had a friend fix his peep now all is good. They had his setup all wrong they were trying to sell him a new bow they told him that bow didnt fit him and it was too old to shoot accurately. he was ready to give them 650 for a new rig[:@].
