RE: Getting String Changed/UPDATED
Well I took my bow over to the pro-shop yesterday on my lunch break and wished Ida stayed in the office. First they opened up late soI cam back and went back after lunch then they were open, 25 minutes later than what they haveposted. Well then I ask the girl if she could put ona new string on my bow, well I pull out my bow so she can look at it and right away shes like you shoudl take this off your bow, take this off, put this on etc. I wasnt oo happy, then when she pulls out her tub of strings, which I might add there were very few strings. She doesnt have one for myNova. Shed have to roder it and it would be another 3-4 days! But after the lecture she gave me about what I should put on my bowand take off Im kindagun shy now and may not ever go back. I was not happy with the service at all. I may stop at Fox's Archery off HWY 13 today on my way home and just goin andtalk to them. Ive never been there before but Im running out of options unlessI drive extra half our and go to Marshfield. I dont know whatto do....ive only dealt with two proshops really that have worked on my bow one is no longerthere and the guy in town just pisses me off but he does good work but i dont want to give him anyof more of my money after he hung a deer that came from our property and went on hisandwouldnt let us goon his land to get it. it was a monster and should be hanging on the cousins wall. HELP!

RE: Getting String Changed/UPDATED
Just curious, but what was the girl telling you to remove from your bow. Take it for what it's worth, but she may be totally correct. Many people have a lot of "stuff" on their bow that they could get along without---and especially "stuff" on their strings.

RE: Getting String Changed/UPDATED
Just curious . . . like what? I'm running string leeches, a G5 peep, a kisser button, and a string loop. Also some serving where the string contacts the STS. Any of those things you consider to be a waste of time?

Drive the extra half hour to Marshall, that is assuming that you're talking about little Jon's. Jon's good folk, and definitely worth the drive.

RE: Getting String Changed/UPDATED
Roskoe, relax buddy. It wasn't an accusation. Just a question.. Sounds like you're about average. I don't use a kisser, but you're string isn't overloaded.
I was just curious, that's all. |
RE: Getting String Changed/UPDATED
Wis, as has already been stated on here, order your string and cables from Gibblet.
I have an SQ2 that is 5yrs old and replaced the original string and cableswith one of Gibblets sets. My pro shop was so impressed with his string, that they keep asking me who I got it from every time I go back in.  Not to mention that the bow shoots so much nicer, that I have changed my mind about buying a new bow. |

Wis Bow huntr
If you are talking about RApids, i would go to Timberline. Have Jeff put it on for you. I just did the same thing and he did a great job. I would also add that the Gibblet string is the way to go. i could not be happier with mine. Took about 3 weeks to get, but worth the wait. I've only shot a hundred shots or so, but so far it has not moved at all. I was thinking my draw was too long, but after I got the new string, my pull was 5/8" less, so my old string had stretched that far. As a result, I shot my best score in 3D all year, a 272 out of 280, so i would say I'm happy with it. Dandbuck |
