It is not cheap for a roll of it but it works very well. The wear you see is normal and on my bows I typically reserve the strings every 3 months or so depending on how much I shoot. You wont need a special harness if you can find 3 others to help you. We typically use one person to hold the crossbow prod up, and one person on each side of the prod to push down on it while someone else takes the string off. Works quite well. I am willing to help you in any way I can<br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body">In Service,<br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body">Janyn<br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Garth Groff" <sarahsan@embarqmail.com><br><b>To: </b>archers@seahorse.atlantia.sca.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, July 12, 2016 9:07:31 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Archers] Restringing Crossbow<br><div><br></div>Noble Friends of the Bow:<br><div><br></div>The serving on my Siegfried crossbow string has parted right where the <br>string rides along the track.
