Anyone ever hear of an Xforces string FALLING OFF!!!!!
SOOOO I went to shoot the bow I planned to buy through the carno and put money on it and I asked the guy to see what the Draw weight was set at, he hooked it to this little thing where you draw it back and see what the poundage was, He drew it let it up drew it and when he got to the peak of the draw.... The string came off.... It didnt dry fire I dont think but the string was off the bow... Is the bow OK should I still buy it What the heck happened? anyone ever hear of this happening its an X force 7 GX 50-60 pound. ANY ANY ANY input would be great.

i was told the that with single cam pse that you must use a release and that never pull it back less than perfectly straight or this will happen, ive gone to 3 different shops all good places and they all said the same thing.

?
I would recommend that you call PSE to discuss - unless someone on the board here can independently confirm the info.
In any case, I still would not buy that bow.

Ive heard of some string derails on x forces but most of them were from drawing the bow with your fingers and that can happen to any bow with any cam. You said he hooked it to a little thing that drawed the bow? Was it a draw board? Maybe the string was being pulled and an angle and the string derailed. Anyhow like kwilson said dont buy that bow. A derail is not as bad as a dryfire, but its still not good.
