I had a string failure today (pictures below). I had a local shop put on a set of hogwire strings/cables on my RX-3. I’ve put about 300-400 shots on the strings. Today I was shooting and about 3/4 the way through the draw cycle, the string lost a good amount of tension, I semi punched myself in the check, hit the thumb release and sent an arrow flying. I looked over the bow and noticed the yoke string had frayed and wasn’t under as much pressure anymore. It wasn’t a gradual thing, I shot earlier in the day and there was no wear. I also realized the shop didn’t use the plastic piece the original string did. I thought it was odd at the time, but the guy has been working on my bow for 2-3 years and is relatively competent, never had issues. I’m just trying to piece together what happened. String failure? Shop failure? Little of both? Any bow techs please chime in.
