i've had my destroyer 350 for about 12 weeks. it was tuned perfect. shot bullet holes though the paper, walked back tuned,and field points grouped with my fixed blade broad heads.everything was awsome untill today.
my son who is 14 decided he was going to try to draw my bow. i was not home when it happened but, from what he told me it sounds like he derailed it. he wasn't injured but needless to say i need new string and cables. i order a set from winners chioce. i dont know anything about tuning when it comes to string and cables. is it hard to tune a d 350. anyone have any tips or tricks i should know.

If I was you I would take the bow to the shop for a complete check up. Limbs, cams, axles, etc.

Wow lol. He said he was 14... He may have been completely capable of handling the bow so no need to jump to conclusions...

The design flaw with these bows makes them very easy to derail upon let down...

To the OP, a new set of strings and time the bow and u should be good to go. It's just another bow.

Unfortunately the nature of these speed bows makes them easy to derail, and one must be extra careful when letting them down; especially with fingers

js - Did you tune the bow or have it tuned? What kind of rest, arrows (spine and length), draw weight. Are you shooting fingers or release? You left out way too many variables for anyone to tell you what to do.

Assuming a 100 gr point weight, the Easton shaft selector indicates you should be shooting an arrow with .375 - .400 spine. How does that compare to your arrows?
