I bought a new 16 strand B50 string for an older bow (steel cables with teardrop type attachments for the string) on Ebay. Only cost me $9.25.
The center serving is nowhere close to being in the right place. It's short, and too low no matter which way you turn the string (it's right in the middle of the string, not biased to one end). If I attach my nocking point to it as is, I have less than 1/16" of serving above the nocking point. That won't work. The serving will unravel - I guarantee it.
So I emailed them - two days ago. No response. I'm thinking I probably won't hear from them, and if I do, they will want me to ship it back to them. Probably not worth it.
I have Halo serving thread (.019). I practiced re-serving the old string that was on the bow, and I did a pretty decent job.
I'm wondering if I should just reserve this brand new string the proper way, or if I should wait to see if they contact me about it. I'm trying to get this bow up and running for a new archer I plan to give it to, so I don't want to wait too long.
Thoughts?
All the best,
Glenn
