I hope your xbow is not a barnett. I sold my old tenpoint and bought a Barnett predator as a buddy talked me into it. He raged about how fast his shot and all and I bought into the hype. From the first day I bought the bow it was blowing up strings in my face. Barnett sent me new strings and eventually took the bow back and worked on it, but it kept on doing the same thing. I finally made the re-seller take it back and I bought another ten point and have been very happy with it.
