Where can i get a bow restrung?

Recommended Posts

Give these guys a call, they have a great archery staff. 

 

Sportsmen's Center

69 U.S. 130  Bordentown Township, NJ 08505

(609) 298-5300

their archery dept is the only part of that place ive actually never heard a bad review from. The fishing and firearms dept I cant stand.

 

You could also try Cheyenne mountain, they are up the street, but still a far ride for you.

Definitely get it restrung and make sure you check for cracks around where the cams connect to the bow, and where the cable ends are at the top and bottom of the bow.  I just got my dad's out to use this season and found cracks that would make it dangerous to even draw back, it could have blown itself to bits if I pulled it back, I had to throw it out.  The good news is I got a really nice old Fred Bear compound bow for $90 used on Craigslist.  Old bows are great but make sure you check them for cracks and change the strings!

thanks for the heads up its my first one and its been black spray canned it looks like. Its very tall also so a buddy of mine said that its fairly older. I know it doesnt resemble any of the more compact versions on the market today.

If you go to A&M archery in Lakewood on 2nd street you can then shoot it to make sure its setup the way you or he likes it. I haven't been there in a long time but A&M is a top notch range and pro shop! I have heard recently they have some type of scenario shooting booth.

 

And it's always a good idea to be armed when walking around downtown Lakewood at night daytime you are pretty much ok. The bow will make a nice club if needed. Park on 2nd as close as possible. Not saying it's a bad area or anything just be aware

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
