Well it's middle of May now, and I don't know about y'all, but I'm chomping at the bit to get back at it. If my guess is right, we're down to exactly four months until opening day.
The successful DIY setup and tune of my CS34 earlier this year inspired me to give something else a shot...changing my string and cables. Didn't see a topic about this in the DIY forum, so here goes one.
From what I've heard, the factory string and cables that came on both of my Hoyts are top-notch. Nevertheless, the ones on my Faktor 34 have a full season of shooting and hunting on them. Plus, I've been kinda interested in trying out some different colors. And like I said, what's a guy to do in the off-season to keep the archery-tinkering-bug at bay when sitting at home. A great sale run by a highly-recommended string maker on AT finally pushed me over the edge, and led me to picking up new sets for my Faktor 34 and CS34.
While I'm waiting (~3 weeks) on them to arrive, I thought I'd see what info I can gather here regarding swapping them out. I've got a vague idea of what to do, and will likely have some questions. But what say y'all? Is this a fairly simple procedure? Any tips or suggestions right off the bat are appreciated!
