Title: How often do you replace your string
Post by: Yeti 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".

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)

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.
