I am just getting into making strings/cables for my trad bows. I have an old (1988) HCA Trophy Hunter compound that has the original custom FastFlight string and FF cable system installed by HCA when I bought my bow new. Needless to say I am not going to shoot this bow until I get some new strings and cables on it. How much should I assume that the original FF cables and string have stretched over the years. The original serving is in pretty bad shape and the string material is fuzzed pretty bad. I shot the heck out of this bow back in the day. So when measuring for the new stuff can I assume a certain amount of stretch on the original setup? If so, how much? Does anybody happen to have original cable / string measurements? HCA no long supports or has information available for this bow so I'm kind of casting into the wind for information. Thanks for any help or information. Tom

Yes, time to replace the cable and string. I shot for HCA years ago and that's a nice bow, They were known for their speed back then so don't be surprised if it smokes. Try TTT strings or Z cables, any of the AT listed string makers will be good.
