A friend of mine took his bow and a buddies bow to a local pro shop. The owner said he makes strings and cables. He left the bows and picked them up 3 days later.

The price? 250 dollars or 125 dollars each.
Now I looked at the strings, nothing fancy just black on black. The bows were Hoyts if that is important. I dont know about anybody else but it seems to me that a Winners Choice with custom colors is not a bad deal at those prices. The strings have held up fine and those 2 guys didnt think nothing of plunking down 1/6 of the bows price to have them shooting like new again. Iam sure that the material used was of the finest quality.

I guess what I am trying to say is it seems to me, people are willing to pay for services they can depend on. Even if it is a little overpriced.
