I purchased a set of 60x strings for my Parker crossbow in September. Had them installed at a fairly know shop. Less than 100 shots, and I see my servings on the ends are coming apart. At the very end, and further down.

Dam 1/2 just when I was starting to like you and no love for your home state strings
Lol
Me I am big fan of 60X never had an issue
But yea looking at that I think there are definitely some other issues
Hmmm. Judging by the pictures, this is not a 60x issue…. They have their end covered on this on. 30 days is 30 days and they can’t help you out if you’re shooting it with strings installed wrong. Also, they didn’t tell you that you do have cam lean; they suggested that it is hard to tell from the pictures, but you MAY have some cam lean. I think you put the cart before the horse on this one.
Anything is possible, OP states limb is cracking. Was the limb cracking prior to new string installation and this is a result of a weakened limb? Don't know, was the string loop overlooked during installation? Don't know that either but highly more likely.
OP, you should change the thread title to "Disappointed with Incompetent Installer"
Moderators should remove this post since it clearly has nothing to do with 60x.
Bought 2 sets of 60x vertical, and one set of crossbow. Zero issues . Excellent quality. Im staying neutral on the issue as the o/p's described facts and circumstances are "hazy".
Looks like your first pic the yoke loop is in the correct spot but the second pic it's off?
Disregard it's most likely the other set of cams. Wasn't thinking
Yoke is off. Still seems like way to much movement in the servings for how much it was shot. The side the yokes are on has some movement on it as well. So Its not just the one side. I'm still disappointed in them. I can't prove the shop messed it up. But pretty sure they did. In the end I'm stuck with a bow that needs limbs and another new string. Or someone to re serve those.
You're showing us a bow that is obviously not set up correctly and you say has a cracked limb - fix those things first before complaining about strings or anything else.
So many crossbows come into my local shop that have been dry fired. It amazes me how they are dry fired even though they have anti dry fire mechanisms. It usually occurs when the bolt is not fully seated in the action or is removed after being seated.
I would not shoot any crossbow or vertical bow with a cracked limb. If the limb was cracked prior or after the cable restring it may be the cause of the yoke jumping the yoke seating bushing.
For some reason people don’t take the same same precautions with crossbows as they do with vertical bows. Crossbows are under high stress and dangerous when issues are present. Strings and cables need to be monitored and changed much more frequently than a vertical bow.
Good luck and be safe.
I corrected my posts.
I should have probably just asked you guys first what's wrong with the photo. I can't believe I missed the strap is off. Pretty basic thing. I had to set my BT down in October after I saw some flaking on the one limb. So broken limbs have been the story of my hunting season. I had the string replaced since my kids where starting to shot it, and didn't want anything bad to happen when they had it in their hands. Which is why I took it to the shop to have them replaced. If they messed it up, or i did it some how on accident. I have no idea.
My question is if he actually inspected the crossbow when he got it back from being worked on, if so and they installed the cable incorrectly on the yoke bushing. Besides that the one yoke bushing is bigger than the others. Not to mention crossbows do typically eat servings fast especially the cheaper models. We were a Parker dealer for years and honestly most of those bows were never shot more than a few dozen times. I've had to replace several sets of prods that only had 15-20 shots on them due to limbs cracking.
200 lb pull- what’s to worry, it’s just a little crack!
