I had the string break on my Ben Pearson TX-4 a couple weeks ago . That bow was set at 60# pull .

I have been shooting my backup bow which is a Parker EZ Draw set at 70# . What a difference !

I need to get my bow to a shop and the shop in Phelps was recommended but that is quite a trip . Not sure if Trader Point Archery in Henrietta is still in business . Bullseye Archery is another long haul . A small local archery shop had closed up a while ago so I have to make some calls and git 'r done .

If you buy replacement string/cables, happy to swap them for you. I am in Webster.

 

Thanks . I have another set of String and cable for the Ben Pearson . I got 2 sets a few years ago for doing a review on another site .

I tried calling Trader Point Archery and the number is no longer any good . The fellow that changed my string & Cable before closed his shop .

I won't go to those jokers in Williamson . I shot 31 arrows this afternoon and another 16 after supper . I can still draw 70# .

I'll be okay with the Parker . I just feel more comfortable having a backup bow .

Jim's Pro Shop is on Rte96 between Manchester (Rte21) and the Fingerlakes Race Track (Cty Rte 8, Canandaigua Rd out of Macedon). Owner is the real expert, but has a day (paying) job. His son works afternoons and isn't the real expert. Meaning..if you venture down there, go after ~5PM or on weekends. Haven't been down there in a couple years, but at that time the owner was talking retirement, so things may have changed with who works when!

 

Want better directions, PM me!

I've used both guar n teed archery in marion and traditions in henrietta and both did good work.

Took my Ben Pearson TX-4 to Moog's home tonight . He replaced my string and cable with the one's I had and setup my bow for me . I took a few shots in his basement and will have to do some minor tweaking with the sight when I get a chance outdoors in the next couple days . Real nice guy and I was impressed with what he was able to do . Thanks a million Moog !

He didn't tell you where to sit for that big 8 did he? LOL.

 

No , he didn't offer to advise me on that but mentioned that you had helped him out a lot . I was quite impressed with the knowledge that Moog has acquired in a few short years of bow hunting . It is nice to be able to practice shooting 20 yards in a basement ! Thanks for your advice also !
