need a string fast!!!!!!!!
« on: April 06, 2007, 10:35:00 AM »
I have freinds coming in on monday to shoot trad bows with me, my new takedown recurve needs a new string!, it had a little popping sound when I would draw it back, found out that there was a cut in the string, the middle of the string loop, not gonna take any chances with shooting it, I've had a string pop at full draw, it felt like a whip!!, I need a new string for a 60" takedown recurve that could get here by tuesday, who could I order a string from that could have it here by tuesday?

Check your string nocks to make sure there isn't a rough spot wearing your string also.
