Anywhere in knoxville i can get strings put on my bow, i have the strings already. Checked prices already in other places and just about had a heart attack in what they wanted for labor to install a set of strings
I can see $30-$35, but i was quoted $80. Will not pay that!!!Crow Terminator":sej8dolb said:Not sure where you have looked but I can say from experience to expect $30-50 For installation about anywhere you go. Especially if you did not purchase the string/cables at the shop.
I had found a used pse stinger x really cheap and it needs a string. Just so happens i win a set of strings awhile back, so i aint goin to buy another set, lolCrow Terminator":1b2pm9c9 said:That's just the penalty for not buying the string/cables from the bow shops. All shops are losing money from people buying online or elsewhere and then bringing it to the shops to have put on. To compensate for that, they are charging more to put said items on. $50 is actually about normal. You might get lucky and find someone willing to do it for less in hopes of gaining future business but that would be a crap shoot. I have my own press and do most of my own work...except on those 5 piece Mathews systems. In which case, I personally wouldn't even consider a string/cable swap for under $50 myself. $80 sounds high but it all depends on what they do with it. Just to put one on...or tuning, setting it up, etc.
