& still coming up with new ideas for them, I’ve now got the main string so it’s not wearing at all but not quite there with the cables but almost 👌 soon as I’ve finished making my mill table I’ll be making some little cams for the cables to run in & that’ll stop the servings moving 🤙

Man you own some very mean bows. Just started getting into this and on tight budgets so I'm starting out with the small recurve pistol with modified prod from 80ib to 140ib with metal tips, stock, sight, laser, Broadheads.... I think this is what scares me about compound bows....its far more complex maintenance. And expensive lol

Did the cable break on one side causing this or was the timing out, or dry fire, or light bolts?? As I mentioned in a video we all need to look for spares availability before buying anything but especially these bows. If you haven’t had it long I would press the supplier for a new set, trust me they’re used to it 😂😂

I told the seller that after 20 shoots I have the well documented by you play in cams and riser. I was ready to do the bushing work. The seller almost insisted that I return the x-bow for them to inspect. I am not expecting a different quality on anything they will return but I am certainly positively surprised by the after sales support of the dealership.

@@horstpratsch3549 I have the new one stripped out now & both rear pins just fell out 😬 & the riser doesn’t sit flat on a flat surface & the right pin tilts down as always, so first job is sand the top of riser flat & level but the bottom of the riser also needs milling flat & level & parallel to the top as this is a cast part, this is precision work & time consuming but once done the difference is night & day, as I’m sure Tom would agree. My cocking handle that broke was the drakon one & was more brittle than the supersonic one which I superglued & bolted together this time, I figured out as I was cooking the hex with two fingers & then picking up the rev the two finger on handle habit moved across. & with brand new strings performing very well indeed
