I bought a PSE Fireflite Express back in 1991. I hunted mule deer with it with limited success (1 bagged, two hit and lost - one went onto private land and by the time I got permission to follow up, the rain had washed away all spoor, and the other, a young buck went over the side of a cliff and got hung up on the side of a steep embankment).
After a couple of years, I wrote PSE about getting a replacement string, and to my surprise they sent me a brand new bowstring fee of charge.
Fast forward 15 years. Thinking about starting back into bowhunting, I started looking for a new bowstring. Nobody carries the string I need. Although some shops offered to make me one, I was looking at $45.00-$50.00 bucks for a bowstring. So I gave up on bowhunting and bought me a muzzleloader.
I am curious, are bowstrings really that hard to find today for some of the older bows, that you almost have to have them custom made?
Sounds like a racket cooked up by bow manufacturers and sporting goods stores to sell more bow IMO.
Just curious.
