Spare String
Being a owner of a new Exomax ... is it advisable to have a spare string in my case and a stringing aid rope ? I have a new hard case that protects everything well, but I'd like to know some opinions. thanks Gary

Re: Spare String
Yes always carry a spare string just in case of emergencies, along with a stringer.

Re: Spare String
My Equinox eats servings. Right now I have three pre-stretched and re-served strings that I rotate as needed. I am a 3D shooter putting a ton of arrows through my bow. All I have to do is remove the string (with a stringing aid) that has its serving damaged, put on one of my spare strings to the right brace height and I am good to go. That process takes maybe a minute. Since the strings are all the same the scope will be still sighted in. Checked this out back when just to make sure and it was.
Cheers,

Re: Spare String
YUP.......In my hard case, there is always 2 spare strings & a stringer, the strings are pre-stretched & pre-shot & twisted to brace height, then I use a large paper clip on the ends to hold it there & put them in a zip-lock bag, don't want to waste a days hunt, days off work are to few.

Re: Spare String
I make my own and do so whenever the mood strikes, have at least 3 spares for all three bows on hand at all times. However, since I hunt nearby, they don't usually accompany me in the field. If I hunted some distance from home they-along with a Stringer-definitely would

Re: Spare String
Yep, unless you hunt behind your house, it would be a good idea to keep some spare things with you. I had Boo make me a couple of strings a couple of years ago. One I keep on the bow, the other I keep in the case with me in case something happens to the one on the bow. I also keep a stringer, allen wrenches, wax, extra rubbers for the NGSS, etc. Basically, anything that I can fix myself, I take it with me in the case while hunting.

Told my wife I don't keep emergency rubbers in my travel bag!! Plan to keep an extra string and stringer though.Big58cal wrote:I also keep a stringer, allen wrenches, wax, extra rubbers for the NGSS, etc. Basically, anything that I can fix myself
Re: Spare String
YOU ALWAYS keep emergency rubbers with you! Just like with me carrying a concealed pistol all the time................. I'd rather not need'em and have'm than to need'em and not have'm.rayman wrote:Told my wife I don't keep emergency rubbers in my travel bag!!

Re: Spare String
For sure! It's a good idea to have a spare string and stringer with you no matter which Excal you have.

Re: Spare String
I personnally think you should have at least 6 strings & knowed how to reserve. If'en you don't reserve have at least 8 strings as things tend to happen!
Re: Spare String
Definitely agree with vixenmaster. I've probably got 8-10 strings around. I know for sure that I've got a couple that I need to reserve once season is done. Always carry the stringer and a spare string in my little pack when I hunt. Never know when you may touch a string with a broadhead when you are loading an arrow in the dark.
