How do I buy replacement strings for this bow? Love the bow but the string has started to unravel. Any ideas to prevent this in the future?

Contact the manufacture if it is new. This is a very good made bow and should not be having this problem under normal use. If it is not still under warranty, I would go to a Bass Pro Shop, Cabella's or any other good sporting goods store that has a real archery department and have it professionally repaired. One of the biggest culprits of damaging a bow is dry firing it. You should always have an arrow in it when releasing. Dry firing really kills it.

Any bow shop should be able to replace your string. Don't be shocked by the price $50-100. If you wax you bow string about once a month depeding on use, it will last a long, long time. You can purchase bow string wax and keep it in tip top condition.

Looks like the link is totally messed up by Amazon. I like the EXP26s. Not as smooth as some coated strings, but have seemed to last a little longer than the Elixirs I had before. Hopefully Amazon corrects it.

I had the Same Problem. I bought a new peep site (G5) and had a local bow show in stall. This could also be your draw length is not correct. I bought this bow off Amazon Because of the great deal. I also purchase all new accessories for the bow prior to buying.The equipment already installed on the bow is a little lack luster. (low end arrow rest, peep site, site, & stabilizer)

I took mine to Gander Mountain, they are 40" strings, can probably get it done at any Bow Outfitter as well.

Try doing a search on UTube for a video. Hard to explain but you use you foot and leg to force the bow to bend enough to string and unstring it.

Good question. I want to buy one for my son this year for Christmas. I bought him the bow last Christmas an he still loves it.

Amazons are NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. call em and ask. Bowtech said they don't know where Amazon gets these bows from....

This is a great violin, but ANY new violin, either a cheap one or an expensive one, needs to be taken to a luthier for adjustments before you can start playing it. A luthier should be able to fix that issue. I took mine to a local luthier (who btw thought this was an excellent violin) and for $20 made several small adjustments (usually the bridge is what requires the most of them) and it has been working and sounding great since then. So my advice, find a luthier and bring it to him. If you don't have an accesible luthier near you, sometimes putting some chalk to the pegs help with the problem (I did that on my previous violin and helped to some degree). Good luck.

I would send the violin back to where you purchased it. I bought my daughter and myself one and neither one of the violins smells bad. The violins should have a warrenty. I would not play it call the company and get a RMA for the violin and get another.

I do not think so (and I did not know this when I bought it). They seem to only honor warranties if the bow is bought from one of their " authorized dealer", which is pretty shady, since it is THEIR product. Still it is a very good bow for the price.

I bought my son one of these bows for Christmas, and even though they emailed some instructions, (None came in the box, so I sent them a request for some) we're still having trouble getting it done! I'm going to call a local archery store to see if they can help!

I didn't have to change mine. Mine came with the Aquila New Nylgut strings on them. Can't remember if my friend had them on hers though. Use it all the time!

The violin that we purchased came equipped with strings already installed. Most of them snapped upon first tuning. We are experience with violins, so this means the strings are of poor quality. Do your self a favor and order a set of better quality strings in addition to the violin. Would suggest Daddario prelude steel strings ($15?). They are USA made, and will work well on an electric violin.All the best!

Mine came off also. Took the bow to a archery store where they put on a new one and tuned the entire bow

Did you purchased it from Amazon? Go to "Your Account" then go to "Your Orders" find the invoice of the purchase and print it. Then you contact Monster directly and they will provide you with instructions on returning it. If you bought it elsewhere take it back to where you bought it with receipt and ask for a replacement. lol I remember the sales pitch at Guitar Center selling me one stating that I could simply walk in anytime and proceed to cut the end off in front of a salesperson and trade up for a new one. Nowadays they no longer carry this cord. Care to guess why? Rock on!

My grandma bought it for me and I'm already playing. You can purchase new strings online or at any music store that sells instruments. I hope you enjoy your ukulele as much as I do. Alyssa
