no idea?
I am guessing this is a used bow, since you are asking about the string right?
Did you buy some string wax for your bow? Check the serving to make sure there isn't major separation or that it is coming undone. Make sure you don't have any broken strands and liberally rub some string wax on your string and cables, work it in real good. Don't put any wax on your servings. You should wax your string regularly. I usually wax my bow string once a week when I am shooting a lot. I believe it is recommended that you get a new string after 5000 shots or once a year. Personally if I bought a used bow and didn't know when the last time the string was replaced, I would buy a new string for it.

whats it cost to restring, tune and sight one in?
I think it cost me $30 to have mine restringed a few years ago. I would definitely take it into the bow shop :twocents:

My offer still stands. Bring it in to Sportsman's in Puyallup, and I'll take a look at it for you.:yeah:
Sounds like you have a lot of questions. Take it to someone is the real answer. Even if you just meet someone at the archery range to look at it. I'm at Skookum Archery range regularly. PM me and maybe we can meet up there.

30 or 100, wow thats a huge difference. sighting a bow myself may not be good if i barely learning to shoot straight, how do i know if its me of the bow off :chuckle: is there anyone at all that does all the above?
The string itself probably is 30-40 dollars but you will need your cables replaced so altogether you are looking at around 100 dollars. Take Larry(old dog) up on his offer, he is very knowledgeable and can answer your questions to get you started in the right direction.
