I've never had to replace mine but if it needed, I would take it to a store that sold them and use a factory or equivalent cable and string.

I took mine to a local sporting goods store who sells Barnett crossbows. The tech restrung it with the string they had in stock for only the price of the string. You need a bow press to accomplish the re-stringing function. He did it in 15 minutes.

definitely work on a recurve crossbow' s string. My husband added them to his recurve bow and I have them for mine. He shoots more than I do and he hasn't commented on the speed of his arrows changing at all since he added the beaver balls to his bow string.

If the arm of the crossbow is new you will need a bow press to replace this string however after a year of use the arm weakens a little and allows for easy replacement.

I've had my crossbow string put up since last bow season and put it back on last week and it works fine just wax it first

Good Luck HORTON went out of business , RIGHTS purchased by TEN POINT and they have no plans on reproducing parts for current owners. You have two options Bitch to amazon or get the dimensions for mechanism online and get a machine shop to fab " one off" and use 550 chord for the string. ;-(

I bought a ixxc long cord and an Amazon Basics short cord for replacements. After 3 weeks, both have worked very well.

You will have to serve it onto the buss cable. I wanted to learn anyway, so I bought a serving kit from cabelas. A quick YouTube search taught me how. You could always take it to a local bow shop. I have mine mounted to a 2005 bowtech diamond rapture.I will say this, I shot it for the first time today and the adjustment kept working loose. I'm going to attempt to return it and go back to trophy ridge.

It's been a few years since I installed this unit, but if I remember correctly there really is no right or left side install. You punch out a plastic filler piece in the stock and the unit assembles in this area. You then pull a right and left attachment hook down to the cable harness (one on each side) hook on and pull back with both handles, one on the right and one on the left. Pull back until it locks in the cocked position. I have to admit that this was one of the finest pieces I added to my xbow. It works great. J-

Parker makes some that worked great in mine. I use the Carbon express maxima hunter 20's and they haven't missed yet. This xbow is great! my only complaint is the weight and the safety is a little loud but its well made so I deal with it.

When I purchased my strings, I noticed that they were too long for my bow. What I did was take the string and tie little knots in them to shorten it. It does not harm the bow or alter the integrity of the string. I hope this helps.

No my bow broke and they would not fix it. Lucky for me it was less than 30 days old so Amazon gave me my money back.

It comes with strings already in, the only thing you have to do is check the tuning and rosin the bow. It comes with everything you need to almost play it right out of the box.

For the price I would recommend it for his first crossbow. You have crossbows and you have compound crossbows. It depends on how much you want to spend and your range. Also, keep in mind the replacement strings for the Barnett crossbows are more than double the cost verses the Inferno Fury.

put the "Black 6 Arrow Crossbow Quiver" bought here on mine just took the styrup off attached it and then put the styrup back on looks nice

You will need a bow restringer to remove the string which should be done after shooting to preserve the limbs and string. You can mutually break it down but you risk twisting the limbs. The limb bolts are tightened and loosened by hand. Have fun!!

Same thing happened to me, as well as the string frayed. I actually emailed Barnett's customer service department and they resent me a string assembly for free. I got it in the mail about 4 days after they replied and it slipped on with no problem. Pretty good customer service.

You have to attach the bow assembly to the stock. Be sure to pay attention when slipping the cables into the stock. There is small plastic guide that fits over the cables.
