Well with my season finally wrapped up it was time to get my new string put on. The only WC dealer remotely close to me was a Sportsmans Warehouse in Oklahoma City. I got a gift certificate there for Christmas and decided to use part of it for a new string and set of cables. You guys can make fun of my colors if you want but I am young, and like it loud.
Anyways to get to the meat of the post, when I ordered the strings they said that they would install them for me, great I though, I have no bowpress and didnt really want to take it to my local bow shop since I didnt buy the strings from him. I know he would not have minded but I just felt a little guilty. Well After they got the string installed I shot it a few times and they said, well looks good we will see ya.
Now I dont claim to be any kind of a techie at all but tell me if the twists in the bowstring should be a little tighter, he said that the string was twisted to where maxed out my bow pulled right on at 70 lbs. (hope that made sense).
So tell me do I need to get maybe the string twisted a little more and less on the cable???? I dont know, some of you guys are experts and hopefully can help me. Thanks in advance for advice.
BTW: shot through the chrono and was shooting exactly 280 with a 418 gr. arrow, if my calculations are right I am getting 72.79 ft.lbs of kenetic energy. Is that right also???
Thanks here are some pics for you guys to make some judgements on.
