Any shop that sells Excals. bows should have Excal stringers. Also the stringers shown above are being sold by boo I think. Its fun doing this. It reminds me of myself as a newbie 6 years ago. It's been an incredible ride with many deer taken and friends made on this forum. Thanks for allowing me to ride along for a ways on the start of this journey you are embarking on. Happy New Year.

The Grizzly doesn't come equipped with an Anti Dry-Fire device so along with what everyone else has mentioned I think it's good practice to 1. read the manual (even if you're like me and aren't a manual reader) because it's a weapon and misuse can cause damage or death 2. Be meticulous in your pre-shot routine (especially setting the safety as soon as you are able to do so once the string is cocked back) 3. Be safe and enjoy your new bow. These things are habit forming.
