The Role of Cables in Compound Technology
In a compound crossbow, the cables are the "muscles" that work behind the scenes. While the main string propels the bolt, the cables rotate the cams to compress the heavy-duty limbs. If your cables are unevenly stretched, your timing will be off, leading to poor grouping and increased vibration. Replacing your bus cables periodically is the best way to extend the life of your crossbow's limbs and cams. Fun fact: The tension on these cables at full draw can exceed several hundred kilograms, highlighting the incredible strength of modern synthetic materials!
Installation and Safety Guidelines
- Warning: Always use a professional crossbow press to replace cables. Attempting to change them without a press can result in severe injury or damage to the equipment.
- Inspect the cable slide and cam grooves for debris or burrs before installing the new set.
- Ensure the cables are routed correctly through the cable saver to prevent premature wear.
Maintenance Tips
To maximize the lifespan of your new cables, apply string wax regularly. Rub the wax into the exposed strands (avoiding the servings) using your thumb and forefinger. The heat generated by friction helps the wax penetrate the fibres, keeping them lubricated and water-resistant. This prevents "fuzzing" and keeps the cables looking like new.
What to Avoid
Never dry-fire your crossbow. A dry-fire (shooting without a bolt) is the most common cause of cable failure and limb shattering. Also, avoid exposing the cables to extreme heat or chemical solvents (like DEET), which can degrade the synthetic polymers and compromise the structural integrity of the rigging system.
Recommended Accessories
To complete your maintenance routine, consider adding a replacement main string for MK-XB52, a premium rail lubricant, and a tube of high-performance string wax. For the best shooting experience, pair these with 20-inch (approx. 51 cm) carbon bolts designed for high-velocity compound bows.
