restringing a crossbow
Does any one here knows a way that I can restring my x bow by my self? I am in mexico and cant find any pro that knows x bows. I am sure that I can get a compund bow press here, but still need to know the steps. I do have a new spare string. By the way my crossbow is a tenpoint phantom. tks.

Once you get a press, the rest is easy. With the bow strung but un****ed, mark the location of the cam lobes to your limbs so you can duplicate the string height. Easiest way is to make a mark on the cam amd the adjacent limb with a soft pencil. Press the bow and remove the string. Install replacement string, let press down. Check to see if cams are similarly situated as when old string was on. If not, press again and shorten string by twisting or lengthen by untwisting.
WBT, let bow set for a while after installing a new string, even shoot it, to stretch a new string before adjusting.
