Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

This question is for anyone who has experience with different makes of bowstrings and cables for your Bowtech. I have a 04" Patriot SC which is in need of a new cable. I thought I would change the string as well. I am looking at Vapor Trail, Stone Mountain, Winners' Choice and anyone else who makes quality strings and cables. Are you guys having better luck with one of these than others?? Thanks for any assistance.

I like winners choice and prefer 452x for my cables. Two buddies of mine have been ordering their cables from eders.com in 452x and love them. I used bowman once and he did not get the measurements right. Good luck.

I use J.A.M strings ( 452x) made by one of the members here called "Gibblet" give him a PM and he will take good care of you. He makes excellent products and has excellent service.

I couldn't agree with Terry more on this ,I've had a couple set's ,made for myself including a set of floating yoke's for my PatriotDually,I've also had severel set's made for my bowhunting buddies and they're very happy with thewm as well .Give him a PM and ask the question's you need to ask ,you'll find that he's very knowledgable at building string's and he'll honour any warranty issue's as well.Also you won't find a better price anywhere .

I used Gibblet's string and cable on my Patriot and I love them. Great guy to do business with. :)

How much did u guys pay for gibblets string? and cables?

RE: Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

I have used all of the above at one time or another and never really found one to be significantly better than the other. Gibblet makes a fine string from what I hear as well.

completely agree with nubo

RE: Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

I don't recall the exact price but I believe it was less than $50 for both the string and cable.

RE: Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

i'm still charging $45 for 2 color and $55 for 3 color. (hopefully its not illegal to post this here - not trying to break any rules)

other than me, you can't go wrong with bowtech's replacement strings. jamie, the sales rep and fellow who taught everyone there how to make strings is an excellent string maker. that guy knows his stuff forwards and backwards, and he's got some really incredible equipment there, and in his garage, really incredible. there are only a couple guys out there i'll go to with questions, and he's 1 of them. chris from bcy is the other.

I have a Patriot dually 2004 model...what is the floating yoke you are talking about? how is it different or better?

RE: Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

Ok, Why would you need a new cable already? Normal wear or something else happen.

I havn't changed mine since I got it ?????

RE: Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

Maybe he had a boo-boo like me and sliced the cable with a broadhead while taking it out of the quiver? [&:]

Ohh ya that would do it..LOL

RE: Replacement strings for Bowtech's??
 

Thanks for all the good info guys. I've had my computer on the blitz for a couple days. I narrowed down my search for a string to Bowtech or Bowtech. I will definately pm gibblet though and consider his strings. If guys on heresay his strings are goodthen they are.;)

The cable has shown wear from early on for some reason from the cable guide. I noticed one strand starting to go and guess what. I noticed it finally went after I shota nice doe (at all times).

Thanks again for all the info.

well, it'll eat your next cable too if the slide did it. get a hicks 3-d teflon slide. they're now white (used to be brown) and are perfect for bowtechs.

and oh yeah, if you took a poll of how many cables you've personally sliced with broadheads - i think i'd be in the 2-5 category.
