Man Kung MK-XBS27 Replacement Crossbow String with Limb Tips

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

This string is precision-engineered to match the geometry of Man Kung recurve crossbows. Its parameters are optimized to provide the ideal balance between bolt speed and the overall lifespan of the string.

Installation and Professional Tips

Installing a string on a powerful recurve crossbow requires strength and precision. For MK-XB27 models with a draw weight of approximately 79 kg (175 lbs), manual stringing is nearly impossible and hazardous. Therefore, we strongly recommend using the MK-SS Bowstringer tool. This accessory allows you to safely compress the limbs and seat the string loops onto the limb tips without the risk of injury or damaging the crossbow's limbs.

Technical Insight: Polyester strings replaced earlier natural materials (like hemp or sinew) because of their ability to maintain a constant length even in changing weather conditions. This means your crossbow will shoot just as accurately in the morning mist as it does in the direct afternoon sun.

String Care and Longevity

To ensure your string lasts as long as possible, follow these simple maintenance steps:

• Regular Waxing: Frequently apply bowstring wax to all the main strands of the string (avoid the center serving). Wax keeps the fibers bound together and protects them from moisture and internal friction.
• Cleanliness: Keep the flight rail of your crossbow clean and lightly lubricated to reduce the abrasive wear on the center serving.
• Inspect Limb Tips: Before every shooting session, check that the plastic end caps are firmly in place and free of cracks.

What to Avoid?

Never use a string that shows signs of broken strands under the serving. The most critical rule is to avoid a dry fire (firing without a bolt). During a dry fire, all the kinetic energy is absorbed by the string, which leads to immediate snapping and can cause the limbs to shatter, potentially resulting in serious injury.

Recommended Accessories

For a safe string replacement, be sure to add the MK-SS Stringer to your order. For routine maintenance, we recommend a premium string wax stick. To achieve the best performance, combine this string with original Man Kung carbon bolts in 40.6 cm or 50.8 cm (16" or 20") lengths, which are perfectly weighted for these models.
