drop away rest cord ?

[red]

i had my rest cord fray and was easily able to rip it the rest of the way in 2. besides going to a pro shop, can you buy that cord or similar some where?

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Many of them will send you a new one free if you ask.

What rest is it? if its just any typical drop away cord its a simple fix that cost about $2....The best thing to replace it with is D-Loop cord. My suggestion is don't use the camo colored stuff!! I won't use anywhere any any of my bows! The best stuff i have found is BCY material...the camo stuff is way to stiff, on a D-loop its so firm any torque on the D-loop will torque the string, with the softer BCY the d-loop will torque leaving ur string in-line. With a drop away the to stiff and you can easily get wear on your other cable as well as there is no length give with the firmer stuff so if your rest is not timed perfectly it will pull your cable out of line.

yep, did that not long ago, hate to call 'em again for more freebies

once for a new piece on my new bow

and again on my old bow when i had to replace the buss cable, i didnt mark it so i just started over.

i would like to have 3-4 feet of the stuff just to have some extra on hand

I'm trying to imagine any reason the static cord on a fall-away would wear.
There should be no tension on the cord once timed.
Now, if your vanes are contacting the cord, a new set-up is in order, in other words, if your vanes are contacting the static cord, the fall-away is useless.

im not sure i understand why it did it either. it frayed right where the knot is tied to the tab on the rest to raise it. i had it set to hit max height at the last 6-8" of the draw

I think timed like that, you have too much tension on the static cord and your cable..plus the wear just about confirms this.

I concur. I have all of my Trophy Takers timed to raise on about the last 1-1/2" inches or so. Also, that much tension on the cable on dual or hybrid cam bow can throw off the cam synchronization. Not sure if it has an obvious tuning effect on a single cam bow.

Some wear can also be caused by the arrow sliding across the knot, drawing or during the shot.
cricman's reference is pretty accurate.
