Bowstring fraying after 2 days
 

I'm pissed off , my bow has gotta go back to the shop . The Custom string and cablesi had fitted on Saturday has started to Rub through the thread and its starting to fray the cable ( only shot off 80 arrows ) , its catching the lower cam somewhere . So i phoned Merlin up to explain and they said even though ibought the bow secondhand, they will sort the problem out and replace or fix any faults found ( cuz it still would'a been covered by warranty ) .
I've emailed them 2 pictures to show the problem , hopefully they get it sorted soon .

Oh and the bush in my quiktune 800 has busted , so i need new rest .... any suggestions , i'm using Quickspin speed hunters so i think W/B won't work .What else is good .

Damn man, sorry to hear about the troubles. You sound like me, if it can go wrong it does and does so right before season. As far as rests go, I like the QAD ultra rest, its a full containment and a dropaway all in one. I personaly am shooting the cobra double diamond dropaway, its awsome. You can adjust height, lift, drop speed, windage pretty much everything its a great rest for about 75 for camo and about 10 dollars cheaper for a black one. Hope this helps and good luck.

well i took my bow back and they sorted out the serving on the cables and put me a string d-loop on instead of the tru-nok i had .While i was their i got a Quicktune 1000 rest for now , untili make my mind up on which rest to haveproper ( they gave me a really good deal ..50% off ). Oh and i came back with a Scott little bitty goose wrist release and it is sweet and it all works together really well , cuz at 20 yds i had arrows in 1" circle . They gave me a great deal on the release too .

Chuffed .... i think so :)

Merlin guys are great

My bud just went through something simliar. After about ten shoots his started to frey. It ended up being a small bur in the cam grove that the shop filed off and he has had no problems since

That stinks for a rest go with the QAD ultra rest or the ripcord the full containment is great
