String question
Hello all,
I have a Horton Summit 150 and a piece of the orange part of the string in the center that the boltrest on (whats that called anyway?) has broken and started to unravel. Probably due to me not using enongh rail lube. Is there a way to fix it our should I look into getting a new string. John |
RE: String question
It's called the center serving and needs to be replaced asap either by reserving or another string. It protects the string itself. Most compound xbows need a bow press to remove/replace strings. You may be able to reserve yours w/o that either by taking the riser off bow or using a gizmo that's hard to describe. I'm not at my own computer, so here's a post I made when I was w/ a pic of it.

RE: String question
I make my own strings, re serve etc. If you don't know what it's called, serving may be more than you should chew off. Most pro shops around here don't even know how to do it well. It's not as simple as serving a vertical bow where the string does not have to be removed. If you don't have a press, and know what material to use and how to do it, you can take your bow apart by removing the stock and serve the string that way..if the cables aren't too close. Otherwise take it to a crossbow savvy shot to reserve or replace the string.

A new String
is all they said they could do for me when I called my local bow shops. I went to the one to get it done only to find out my arms are cracking [:@]They told me it is still under warranty but it will be about 3 weeks untill I get the xbow back [:o]I was sooo sad.

RE: String question
