Man Kung MK-CBC50 bow cable set - Outlet

Replacement Cable Set for Man Kung MK-CB50 Compound Bow (2 pcs)

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

These cables are crafted from high-strength synthetic fibres designed for minimal stretch even under extreme load. They are fully compatible with the entire MK-CB50 series, ensuring a precise fit. Properly tuned cables are vital for your bow’s "timing" – the moment when both cams work in perfect unison for a consistent release.

Usage and Professional Installation

Cables on a compound bow should be replaced preventatively every 2 to 3 years, or immediately if you notice fraying or mechanical damage. We strongly recommend that the installation of this replacement set is performed using a professional bow press. Do not attempt to replace cables without one, as it poses a high risk of personal injury and permanent damage to the bow limbs. After installation, always re-check the cam timing to ensure your compound bow is perfectly tuned.

Archery Insight

Did you know that the cables on a modern compound bow often carry a higher static load than the bowstring itself? While the string is responsible for arrow speed, the cables hold the tension of the limbs and define the "let-off" (the reduction in draw weight at full draw). This makes their quality and condition paramount to your shooting comfort and safety.

Care and Maintenance for Longevity

To maximize the lifespan of your cables, treat them regularly with high-quality bowstring wax. Apply the wax to the strands and rub it in gently with your fingers; the heat from friction helps the wax penetrate the fibres, protecting them from moisture and drying out. Never dry fire your bow – releasing the string without an arrow is the fastest way to destroy cables, strings, and the bow's structural integrity.

Recommended Accessories

For a complete overhaul, we suggest pairing these cables with a new original Man Kung bowstring. A premium string wax is an essential tool for your maintenance kit. If you are looking to improve your consistency, consider using a high-quality mechanical release aid, which reduces wear on the string and cables compared to finger shooting.
