Title: Need new bow string done
Post by: jstone on January 01, 2025, 08:52:54 PM: I need a new string installed on my Mathews Z7. Used to go up to the bow shop in Enumclaw but he is no longer there. Always did a great job for me. Is there anyone good in Western Washington

:yeah:

I recently had Lucky Shot Archery replace mine and it was worth the drive down for me. I went with the GAS Ghost on my PSE.

Post by: adamR on March 13, 2025, 07:30:50 AM: In my opinion, it depends on how much you shoot and how precise you want to be. I shoot nine 3D shoots a year and thousands of arrows per year. You couldn't pay me to have Cabelas put a string on my bow. Those are average people not bow technicians. I've also ran 60X strings before and they were great for the first 1,000 shots. After that, the string stretched like crazy and made a significant POI change.

I would suggest Gas strings, installed by a quality archery shop like Lucky Shot.
