ready2hunt Report post Posted July 22, 2012 Hey everybody! I started my annual routine of taking inventory on all my archery stuff and decided that its time to get a new bow string. I have put many many shots through it and I always keep it waxed however its just time, I can tell its wearing on me. Any suggestions on a decent (cost effective) bow string, perhaps a brand you have used? If you remember the price more or less I would greatly appreciate it. I don't shoot anything special its just a PARKER single cam. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcshorthairs Report post Posted July 22, 2012 I had an Octane put on my Mathews about 3 months ago. I heard really good things about them, but the cost is a little more than others. I really like it except that it is louder that the factory string for sure. Also, it has a 3 year warranty too. I think I paid about 110 for install and peep. Worth the money, just a little louder than I would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John O Report post Posted July 22, 2012 Strings are an area I don't pinch pennies on. If you are near Bull Basin in Tucson, I HIGHLY recommend their custom string guy. I had my 80 lb. dreamseason done by him, and it was fantastic. Highly recommend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Bull Basin is just strait down Alvernon from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last year I paid over $100 for a custom ( I wanted my draw length shortened) string installed. If you buy one on the internet then you have to install and set up. Go to Bull Basin, good customer service is worth more $. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reganranch Report post Posted July 22, 2012 Tommy boy, the foothills are also known as Catalina Foothills. Eloy is where my deer mounts are, my F350 cummins turbo diesel, my dirtbike and all my mounts on my parents farm. I live in Catalina Foothills for a short time during my occupation at the UofA.
