Title: The Nock Point custom strings?
Post by: tbrady on September 15, 2014, 07:26:45 AM: Hi All-

My Bowtech bow needs new strings and I'm trying to decide between buying factory replacements or taking it to The Nock Point for custom ones. I'd appreciate any input!

thanks
tim

They only try to help, not try to rob you... Great advice, great customer service keeps me driving from Sultan!
2 thumbs up for these folks

Nock point is a great shop and you cant go wrong with either IMO.
