I just picked this up,
pretty much free to me, from a guy that hadn't used it in a while. He said he thought it needed new cables and string, and I can see why.
I also noticed that one of the cams is dinged right at the tip of the lobe.
And, I called my local bow store, and they wanted north of $100 for a set of cables and a new string, which is way more than I wanted to drop on a free bow. I can pick them up on feebay for less than half that from a number of vendors. Surely they don't all suck. Anybody got a clue which ones don't?
So, here's the $64 question, anybody in the Houston area able and willing to look this thing over for me, make sure it's not going to blow up in my hand and install a set of strings? I'm just a poor dumb trad guy, these newfangled wheelie bows are beyond me :-)
Thanks
James
