most string weights are a 20 for a set of them, using nocks you may already have, a lighter and shrink tubing does a better job and can take on a more natural appearance.

  • what kind of bow is that?

  • @warlockfreak89 king cobra... wouldn't necessarily recommend it though. all apa's have a cam lock press ex. maybe one model.

  • you should have shot it through a chrono before and after your modification.

  • @batkinson1969 i did but not in the video. it's one of those things where I don't care if people accuse this of not working because I know they're wrong esp. in this case. The ammount of weight and placement varies from bow to bow. Some people like the adjustable ones but i've seem them slip down the string and that really throws off accuracy. I can do a video with my burner right around when 3d gets going for me and I start making some hyperlight strings to go with it

  • where can I get the socks?

  • @NSTOHON i sell all my dirty laundry in japanese vending machines to sex perverts. so go to japan

  • Fat ass JK umm what do they do

  • pt. 3 ...and i think... that if you actually do gain speed from adding string weight, then represents a design flaw in the bow, so surely some bows may not infer a higher speed output from weights, and furthermore, doodoo cacka pee pee shitzstainz

  • pt. 2- Perhaps.. well... if the dynamic characteristics of the power curve of the bow were such that full speed was achieved early, that is at a point closer to full draw than full rest, and the weighted string had enough time to reach the same speed that it would w/o weights, then i guess its possible that the extra mass of the string would partly counter-act the weight of the arrow, thus giving you a faster shot.... but im no science-prigg

  • i would imagine your speed will actually decrease doing that. Same goes with heavier/lighter arrows: heavier arrow goes slower, ligher arrow goes faster. Decreasing weight on your strings would increase the speed. Technically you coould even gain speed by a decrease of the mass of the limbs by removing material, but thats not advisable. maybe i'm missing somethin but i just dont see how it would be possible to speed up with a mass increase. The rules of mass inertia just says it aint so.

  • What grain are those weights and where to you buy them from ...I am from New Zealand

  • for the shrink tubes guest put then i a cup if steaming water
