Pre stretching String

Post by the canuck »

I bought a second string for my 380, it is the same string that came with the bow. How can I pre stretch the new string without having to put it on the bow, I would like it pre stretched for when I need it.

There ya go!

Lots of guy's when the put a new string on like to cock the bow an let it set overnight.
When I put a new one on, I just let it settle a couple days, then shoot the crap outta it, but that's just me, and it ain't easy being me :mrgreen:
