Default string

Depends where you live. If you live around Calgary, then Jimbows for sure. If you live closer to Edmonton, then Jimbows for sure as well. Give location, people will let you know. Good luck.

Where are you located, and what bow do you have? How far are you willing to travel, would you consider shipping it? These answers will probably help to answer your question.

Jimbow's is a great suggestion especially if you are near Calgary. Closer to or west of Edmonton I'd say accurate archery, east of Edmonton I would be taking my bow to Neil at LOST Arrow.

When my new bow starts to show signs of wear on the string I think I will be ordering a set from Worlds Best ( you didn't mention what string you were thinking of getting) then I would send my bow or take it to Neil my bow is an APA and from what I have read he is the man I would trust more than any other to take care of me and my Mamba M7 !

Ya Neil set my bow up I live by Viking. I didn't know if he would have the certain bow string that I would want.

Default lost archery

i sent my bow to lost archery this spring and had neil put on a set of world best strings.
He tuned it and put on a set of cat whiskers, when i got it back and shot it for the first time i though something was wrong ........coludn't hear anything only the thump as arrow hit the bulls eye.....lol
i think he gets a comission on arrows , cause since he tuned my helim can't seem to shoot at the same bull without destroying arrows
I sent mine to him from newfoundland , couldn't be more satisfied , worth every cent for shipping .
thanks to you Neil
