thanks guys

I'd get a refund and stay away from that "pro" shop. Lots of good string builders on here.

Bet it was tough to string that bow!

Yes get your money back and buy one from somebody on here.

Years ago I couldn't get a proper string for my recurve locally so I took the small step of learning to make them myself.

A guy in a local archery shop showed me how to make endless loop strings. He hated making strings so I made them for him in his shop for a while just to get the process down.  Later when I started making Flemish twist strings I took him a string board and taught him how to make them to return the favor.

Flemish strings are really easy to make, I sometimes wonder why anyone would "buy" one.

I am glad people do buy them though, I know some great guys who make them professionally and they need the business.
