Man Kung MK-XBS25 Replacement Crossbow String with Limb Tips

Technical Specifications and Features

This string is specifically engineered for certain Man Kung recurve crossbow models, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal energy transfer to your bolt. Below is a detailed overview of its specifications:

When to Replace and How to Install

The string is the heart of your crossbow, and its condition directly impacts your safety. If you notice fraying, a damaged serving, or signs of excessive wear, it's time for a replacement. The MK-XBS25 is installed onto the limb ends using the provided tips. We highly recommend using a bowstringer tool to make the process easier and prevent the limbs from twisting. Always ensure the string loops are properly seated in the grooves of the limb tips before cocking the crossbow for the first time.

Did you know? In modern recurve crossbows, the string reaches incredible speeds during release and stops with significant force. That is why the center serving is the most critical part—it is the point of contact for the bolt nock and the trigger mechanism.

Maintenance and Safety Guidelines

To ensure your string serves you well for a long time, follow these maintenance tips:

• Wax regularly: Treat the main body of the string (not the serving) with high-quality bowstring wax before and after shooting sessions. This reduces friction and prevents moisture from entering the fibers.
• Check the tips: Inspect the plastic limb tips for cracks before every use. If damaged, replace them immediately.
• Storage: Avoid leaving a strung crossbow in extreme heat (e.g., inside a car during summer), as high temperatures can damage the polyester fiber structure.

What to Avoid?

Never dry fire your crossbow! Shooting without a bolt causes the string and limbs to absorb all the kinetic energy, which leads to immediate string failure and severe damage to the crossbow. Additionally, keep the string away from sharp edges or harsh chemicals.

Recommended Accessories

For the best shooting experience and longevity, we recommend purchasing a universal bowstring wax stick for easy application. To improve your accuracy, don't forget to stock up on carbon bolts of the correct length and a high-quality target butt that safely stops bolts without causing unnecessary wear to your new string.
