It’s like going from driving a Yugo to a Lamborghini. It cuts about 30 minutes off the build time for a string set. I can do one in about an hour now with a lot less wear and tear on my hands. The servings look a lot neater too. Built a test string for one of my bows and it came out perfect. "I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it." Captain Woodrow F.

I bought my last set from 60x and wasn’t too happy about them. I’d love to keep the money in state. I can press the bow and install myself. Last edited by Sgiles; 04/22/20 06:46 PM.

Basically brand new string.found out later they have a warranty but I didn’t fool with it. I’ll admit I probably twisted them up and down more to get them where they belong since this was the first cam and a half I’ve dealt with but I put the old strings back on and twisted them six ways to Sunday experimenting and they’re still holding up. Not saying it’s they’re fault even but I’ve ordered a few recurve strings from them over the years as well and just never been completely satisfied. I make my own Flemish twist for those now. I’m not bad mouthing 60x but if I can buy local I will.

Everything seems to be staying right where I put it and after a hundred shots or so no signs of serving wear or or separation. I also appreciated the fact that you will communicate with your customers more so than the bigger places. Thanks
