Anyone know how long it takes to put a new string on a compound bow
« on: August 17, 2009, 03:26:12 PM »
I was just shooting the bow and the string needs some attention really bad.I was wondering how long it would take so I know if it could be replaced before opening day.Thanks. :(

A good pro shop should get you set up while you wait.  That is if they have your string and cables in stock.  Lots of guys raving about XXX strings.  Might be worth the drive.

I bought some custom strings off of guy who sells them on Archery Talk and installed them myself.

about an hour while you wait, a good shop is going to have quality strings on hand unless you are wanting some crazy colors..

I have a bow press and can slap string and cable(s) on in maybe 10 minutes.  And I dont work in a pro shop.  Where ever you bought them they should install and set the bow to specs for free.

when you get a new set shoot 40 to 50 arrows then recheck the timming good to go . you'll have a spare set for the season. dbbowstrings make great strings and he pretty fast.

I changed mine for the first time about a month ago (string and cables) and it took about an hour but I was being very meticulous.  A new set of strings and cables for my hoyt runs about $85 or so.
