Actually ended up having the Knockpoint make me a set BCY-X, and upgraded the fuel cam to a Z5       No complaints

I am going down to Steves Archery on Tuesday to spend a small fortune. I'm going to get a 5 pin sight with the slider, new string, a dozen arrows, and a pack of Savora broadheads to try out.... I think Steve stocks Rock Creek strings. I had an issue on this last string with my peep twisting around, going to go with a peep with the rubber tube on it, hopefully I don't draw on a nice buck only to have my peep twisted around this year :bash:

How much were the strings from the Knock point? I will need new strings next year and they are probably the closest place to me, and I'll need to have them measure the strings too because I have an old bow and I do not know how long the strings are. Thanks.

I forgot, cause it was bundled in with the new cam.  I'd give them a call.

I had the nock point put a new shop string and cables on Hoyt a couple years ago and it's the best string I have ever used. Will be going back to them when I need new ones.

I have a Hoyt CE, strings are 2 years old and looking ready to change.
Last time I had the Knockpoint put new ones on  (Hoyt strings), and I'm wondering if I should spec different strings, have someone else do it?

Reason I ask, is with the original set of strings I had no problem with broadhead/field point flight, this last set of strings never seemed to get right.

Thoughts, or suggestions?

Thanks




I had a similar experience with Noc point strings. I've had buddies complain of same thing.
 I was in there with a friend this past June for new strings. The guy who was installing the new string pulled the factory specs off the bow and said they were incorrect. We should have stopped him and left right than, but let him finish. When he was all done we came to find out he didn't work there and just likes to hang out at the shop. :bash:
They make more $$ off the hunger games crowd and don't have time for hunters it seems.
His bow wouldn't shoot right until he went and bought some winners choice strings and took it somewhere else.

I like to support local makers anytime I can. With that being said, Wade at Brightstrings does a great job making custom strings to just about any color combo you want. Works out of house, puts alittle more care into what he does. Also helps tune your bows and will get u re-aligned after 50-200 shots when your strings settle. Great guy IMO.
