I was out shooting and I snapped my string. I bought it from Town Hall Archery in St. Louis. I paid $60 for it and they gave me some crappy string. What do you suggest I do? 1000 shots into it at most.

contact them and ask for a full refund or a new string..or buy a new string from somewhere..winners choice or a Zebra string

If you are going to buy a replacement string I advise to not get a zebra.

I listened to all the hype about them a couple seasons ago and I bought one for a Hoyt I was shooting.

It strected like a frickin bungee!!!!

Needless to say, it was then replaced after maybe 200 shots.

Winners choice is my strings of choice.

I dont even try to tune my bow with a new string until ive got 200 shots through it. I have never had a string that didnt stretch.

Zak.......any idea how it happened. The reason I asked was I know this is your first year and one misstake many rookies make is keeping item loose in their bowcase. I was at a archery shop the other day and talking to some new hunters. I noticed everthing was kind of tossed in their case. I didn't think much about it until I saw broadheads laying in there! Many things you put in your case can mess up a string. I once had a quiver that had a pretty sharp edge on it. Strings rarely break after a year.... let alone 5 years. Maybe it did but I would really look hard for a reason and make sure it isn't repeated!

Hunting is getting close.......Good Luck!

It an unexceptable amount of stretch.

My bow had a 35 7/8 axle to axle to start.

Put the zebra on the A to A was 35 15/16 close enough to start.

After 200 or so shots my A to A measured nearly 36 1/2 (36 7/16)

That is just to many twists to put into a string in my opinion so I discarded it and replaced it.

Zak,

Tough break so close to the season. I'd call the shop, from previous post I heard good thing about this shop. Call them and see what they can do for you.

Andon the bright side. At least it wasn't a limb

Zak! sorry to hear about your string but I'd take the darn thing back and ask them to exchange it for a winners string ,or at least give you a discount on one .
