At this moment it looks like tonight is going to work out and I should be able to get the string changed on the bow. I realy hope this finialy happens. I know it will change everything but if I am carfull it should be minimal and I will take carefull measurements of everything.
Wish me luck.

By the way. All this teching my own stuff made it possible for me to help the head instructor for the bow hunters courses here with his bow the other night when his string loop let go and he punched himself in the mouth. I tied on a new one in no time flat. Kinda shocked me that It all came back so quick how to do it. LOL.

The new string is on and wow it took some time as we checked everything twice and thought every move out before we did it. I took before pictures of every thing and then an after couple of pictures as well.
We started out by changing out the split cable. I wanted somthing simple to try first and we wanted to have at least one cable on the bow at all times.
A few pics before we started.






Split cable going on.





Once we had the split cable on we thne took off the old string and measured things up. When we compared the two strings this is what we found.



Once we had both cables on we then started moving stuff from the old string and in the case of the loop I just put a new one on.


The end product looks great and hopefuly if there is no rain tomorow night we will see how it shoots.

Wow do I feel better now . I got a chance today to do some shooting with the new string on. We had to go to a Christian camp today to do an archery session and I took my bow with me. The gentleman that usually does the line got his son, his grand son and myself to step up first so people could watch what we did when each whistle command was given. When he gave the whistle to shoot I was nervous. I drew and fired, a little high but I did go looking. I settled in and over compensated and noticed it hit right were I was aiming (10 yard shots) , third shot bullseye. Next round I took was two in the bull and one right beside it in a less than 2 inch group. Wow I felt better then. I also had an interesting thing happen today and I think I had a guardian angle on my shoulder.
I fired an arrow at the butt and hit fine. I went to get them and the carbon arrow was broke off right were the arrow was sticking out of the butt. I then remembered thinking I heard a crack the other night on one of my arrows but could not get it to do it again so I thought it was fine. It wasn't. I feel that if that arrow had of exploded on release I would have had one messed up and painful hand.
In the end it all worked out.
