I recently purchased a really good deal on two-year-old (New) Parker Stealth Hunter. 70 lb, 28 in. I had it rigged with a tubed peep. I am using a Fletch Hunter (old wrist strap model).

I am all ready having the serving fail at the point of release. The serving is stretching and I can clearly see the bowstrings. Now this….. in less than fifty shots.

My previous bow was a PSE Mach six. I had zero failures of any sort with twelve years of tough wet moose hunting. I mean zero failures, nada! It was submerged in the swamp many times. I showed it no respect for the most part and it never let me down.

The two bows shoot the same speed and I am using the same release. The axle length is similar. About the only thing different is that I am using carbon arrows ICS now vs. the old aluminum 2413’s.

I must be missing something, as I was not expecting something to go wrong so quick. Could someone shed some light on my situation? I can see that I better get a few spare pre- rigged strings in the hunting box. It’s a long way out of the bush to a good pro shop. I just never needed much help with the old Mach after it was set-up.

I do like the lightness and shootabilty of the new bow. In fact it is nicer than the Mach to shoot.. Same speed though. Quiet too.

Maybe it was just a bad string and I should not expect it to reappear with a new string.
