Curious if anyone else has had broken string issues on their 415? I bought mine in November and shot maybe 50 bolts through it sighting it in etc. It shoots great. I'm definitely impressed with it, took a doe with it no issues. Then I put a better scope on it and was sighting it back in and the string broke. I had just looked at the string when I put the scope on and it looked fine - I dabbed some wax on it just because they say to do it once in a while but it wasn't showing any wear. I took it to my local bow shop who makes strings, I know the guy well and have bought a compound bow and strings from him in the past - never an issue. He made up a new string for the 415 and shot a few bolts and the new string broke on him within a few shots. At that point I switched back to my compound bow for the rest of hunting season as the rut was in full swing.
I just contacted Velocity Outdoor (who owns Centerpoint) and they were great - they are sending a new string and even will reimburse me for any related labor. They said they haven't had an unusual amount of calls about broken strings on the 415 so I thought I'd ask here. When the new string arrives I'll put several more bolts through it and hope I just had bad luck previously but I'm curious if any of you have had similar issues with the 415? Yes I fully seat my bolt against the string and I only use half-moon nocks.
Again, the bow shoots great and I couldn't be happier with the customer support so far.
Thanks for your input.
