How to Replace Compound Bow Strings
- 1). Use a certified or approved bow press to bend the bow properly. Using an unapproved one can cancel the warranty that your bow has in the event of any damage. Place each of the bow's limbs in the press. This bends the bow safely and holds it in place. You cannot bend it any other way. Make sure that the pressure is evenly spread on the limbs of the bow. The bow press should be able to adjust itself to the full length of the riser.
- 2). Inspect the existing string for damage. Using the bow press correctly will ensure that it will not snap and cause injury.
- 3). Check the new strings for any damage. Though there is little chance of this, it is better to be safe.
- 4). Bring the bow to full draw with the help of the bow press. Use the hooks to pull together the two cams tightly. Be sure that they are very tight. If not, the hooks will break and the new strings will come undone.
- 5). Use a long string, step on the center of it while your partner helps put it into the string changer. This will prevent it from breaking.
