comndr45,
I've also heard of this, in fact, I believe the
entire bow(with the new string/cable) is too be submerged. Think I read it in either Petersen's or Bow Hunting World. I'll check some of my back issues and see what I can 'dig up'

.
I don't think it applies to the 452 or 450 Plus, but rather 8125 and others.
...just noticed you are from Memphis. Memphis State Alum here! ..or I guess it's Memphis University now[&:]. Great city that brings back some fond memories for me
