Cost of replacing a bow string?

Opened my bow case today for the first time since last season and discovered the string had popped. How much does this usually cost to replace?
5

I think its like 50 for a string and 20 for a cable.

shite. And part of my cam started breaking off last season, but it kept shooting fine. Now it looks like that cam has a crack pretty far through it. I don't think I want to shoot it nor do I think anyone would put a new string on it like it is. And I think I have a better chance of growing two dicks than finding a new cam for that old bow.
I hate being poor.

Bowie did my Hoyt a few years ago for $40.

Including cost of the string?

yeah, the string and labor.
It takes 7 seconds. I don't even think labor had a charge. It just said, "draw string, replaced" on the ticket.

Just dropped mine off yesterday for a new string.
$37.50 string
$12.00 Labor
$8.00 peep
$2.00 labor
$10.00 D Loop
$2.00 labor
$71.50
ETA this was in Little Rock and the place is pretty expensive. They are the only bow shop I have been to that charges MSRP for their bows. The price includes retuning my bow to make sure everything is in spec.

Damn $10 D loop? You gettin raped

My $40 replacement string was about right.
$2 for labor? That's either too low, or too high.
It can't be just right.

Yep, but my usual guy is in Africa for 2 weeks on a hunting trip. This shop is the only other one within 75 miles of my house that I trust. One of these days I'm getting a bow press so I can do this stuff on my own.

Spillway sportsman puts them on for free. It will be a little higher than bass pro, but the guys at spillway sportsman are good. The guys at bass pro are questionable at best. Bowie is good, if you want to wait a month for it. Call Spillway and tell them what kind of bow you need to see if they have the string in stock.
I think mine was $50 FWIW.

Anybody think I have a chance in hell of finding a replacement cam for a Browning Wind River wr3a?
Posted on 7/29/12 at 8:20 pm to Boats n Hose
It might be easier to just try replacing both with something comparable. 
Posted on 7/29/12 at 8:20 pm to BRgetthenet
I'll bring it to spillway or Bowie and see what they suggest.
Posted on 7/29/12 at 8:21 pm to Boats n Hose
Maybe. It may be possible to use a different cam.
Posted on 7/29/12 at 8:23 pm to Boats n Hose
spillway may be more accomodating. Usually, if Bowie isn't making big bucks off of ya, they don't give a shite.
That's been my experience.
Same with Edwin Watts.
