Strings, cables and things

I wouldnt worry about changing the string right away, the stock strings are very good. As for silencers they are not needed but i recommend cat whispers.

 

Barracuda Bow Strings by Zebra

Barracuda bow strings.. Have heard good stuff about them. Made by Zebra. Anyway the Barracuda strings are prestretched in the manufacturing process. It is supposed to eliminate creeping.

I thought the Mathews SB came standard with a Barracuda string. You may want to check into that. If it did then I would say you are good for a while.

Barracuda strings do come stock on Switchbacks and Xt's.....among others.....very good string....they had issues when the Switchback first came out w/ the serving on the cam end being too fat....But I fixed that by installing thinner serving on mine and have had no problems.....I am going on 2 years....same string and cable......have shot this bow for hunting....two 3-d seasons and 3 indoor leagues.....no problems yet.....they have changed that serving by the way......

 

I think with proper waxing a string can last a very long time. I have approx. 10,000 shots through my XT and the string is doing great. I did have the cable reserved when the factory serving began to separate. Most guys I know shoot there factory strings for a year then buy WC and keep the factory strings and cables as backups.

 

I for one will be replacing my strings and cables after hunting season w/Barracuda strings and cables......I like them alot and will let you know if the replacements are better or worse than the original.......
