Default RE: Replacing strings

Good question. I'm not a pro - butdid the same thing last month. Got in a little over my head, but was able to get there by mainly twisting the buss cable (Hoyt Protec). I did put three twists in both the control cable and the bowstring. Had the proshop check it at the end to make sure the cam sync and timing was good. I think if I had it to do over again, I would take careful measurements of the cam rotation position, ATA, brace height, and draw weight first - they replace one string/cable at a time, instead of all three at once- twistingeach respective oneto maintain the specs of the original setup. Shoot it for 50 shots or so for break in - and then give it a final tweaking.

There are a lot of technical specs that go into these compound bows and, unless you have been to a Mathews or Hoyt or Bowtech school, you are wandering around in uncharted territory. Nonetheless, I like to tinker as well and there isn't much you could mess up that couldn't be straightened out later by the pro shop.
