Replacing rope cocker string...

[mfh]

This weekend when backing the limbs down after an unsuccessful evening, the string slipped and got caought under the scope mount. Messed the string up (scope remain alaigned) to the point I am affraid to use it - not for cocking, but the potential of it breaking when I decock.

Anyone know if that is a special rope or simply 3/16" diamond braided rope...thats what it looks like, but I wanted to check with you all.
Cheers,

Wal-mart sells the braided camo rope in 50 ft lengths that is just about the same diameter. I use it to raise and lower my gun, as well as the crossbow from my stands.

As long as it's good quality stuff, any cord should work. Try an automotive supply store and ask for rewind cord. That's the stuff that is used for the pull cord on an engine starter. That also has to be strong and abrasion resistant. Just watch that you get the proper thickness.
