Nub, I know this is my first post here but please give me some credit.[] No, that was not the first shot I took. I had work done then would shoot 50+ arrows only to go out the next time and after only a few shots something would come un-done. The last time the string completely came off my Cam. That was the final straw. I have since taken my bow to a different shop over 50 miles away had a new string/cable put on and have vowed learn how to do it all myself rather than risk injury most importantly, and/or miss due to someone else' s mistake, lack of attention to detail, or any other possibility. At least that way if something does go wrong I have no one to blame but myself. I used that as a scenario, I just want to learn the right ways to do all my own maintenance on all my bowhuting equipment now just my bow but arrows, rests, strings, ect.....
