Title: New String Cost? Single Cam
Post by: Pete112288 on May 07, 2019, 12:44:47 AM: So I have been out of the archery game for a bit and am getting back into it this year with a multiseason tag.
I need to have my bow restrung. It is a single cam Fred Bear TRX 32.
Being in the Vancouver area, what would be the cost I would be looking at to get a new string and have it all put together? Would it save me much money to find a string myself and then take it in to a shop and have it put on, or just buy the string from the shop along side the service of installation?
Thank ya much

TRX32 is a good bow, I started out archery hunting with that exact bow years ago. If I remember correctly the IBO speed was around 307 fps. Remember to keep the string waxed. Best of luck this season on the multi season tag.
