Installing new a new string in about 5 minutes. Found the lines which are measured at 1/2" and 1 1/2". I plan to try the 1 1/8" spot as was suggested. Will let you know how it goes. For hunting, should I put the stuff on the string to make it quiter or does that really work? It does seem to snap pretty good. With only 315 fps and shooting at possibly 40 yards, a Coyote may jerk out of the kill zone????
