How often do you replace your string
« on: November 12, 2010, 07:38:44 PM »
:yeah:   Sorry not a lot else to ask just that.  The reason behind this is that I bought an 08 Bowtech Airborne on clearance from the dealer 2 months ago.  For whatever reason nobody bought it so 50% off sounded great!  Anyways one has to believe the has been test shot quite a bit over a period of two maybe three years.  Usually in that period of time I have always got a new bow so strings never crossed my mind other than winners choice but couldnt convince my "bank" that it was a "neccesity".

Well I went through 2 fuse strings in a matter of months this year but I was shooting every day for at least an hour, and those strings are garbage anyway. I went to a winners choice for my maxxis now and its holding up fairly well. If you don't wanna spend a whole bunch of money have you considered buying just the string and leaving the cables?

How do you like you 82nd? I recently got an 09 and its a pretty sweet bow! 8)

Love it other than the 08 string stopper position.  That is getting changed.

I did have a few issues at the shop getting my center of shot with the Trophy Taker. I hear it is dang near impossible with the 82nd due to the short brace height. 

I was getting 308fps before I switched arrows. Havent chronoed since.

Maybe some other bowtech guys can chime in because this is the first I have owned but from what I hear they like to be inside center a hair.

Depending on how much you shoot,  once a year.  I'd replace them with bowtech strings,  same quaility as WC if not better and the price is better.
