I have a crossbow and the string came of how do I put it back on?

Question

I was target shooting with my Browning "Furry CB7B" and I ****** it, but it didnt cock so when I let it go it dry fired, so the string came of the metal string holders atached to the cams. Now I cant put the string back on, any ideas?

Answer 1

Since you dry fired it without a bolt, more than likely you have stretched the cables so they cannot be put back into their original position on the Cams!. The cables have "pressed on" catches on each end.
You have no choice but to take it to a Dealer or send it back to Browning for repair. This is not and easy job that you can do yourself and it will require a "Bow Press" machine to take off the slack on the compound crossbow "prod" in order to replace the cable. Check the Internet for the Browning Crossbow Dealer nearest you or the authorized repair center.All it would take for a major accident and serious injury result if you replaced the cable yourself and it "slipped"...You would get the cable and prod pieces slam right into your face and eyes.Don't do this yourself..PLEASE!

Answer 2

Browning Crossbow

Answer 3

Mine came with a stringing device, a longer string actually. But I have a simple crossbow, no cams. So all I do is put the sringing string on, draw that then put the proper string on and release the stringing string and then pull it out from where the proper string is pinching it.

Answer 4

if you have a bass pro shops, cabelas, or local archery shop they will put the string back on for you

Answer 5

when I got my first one, the guy at the store, put it on for me, I watched how he did it, then I knew how to do it myself.
