So a few weeks ago the cocking strap on my viper s400 broke while cranking the handle. I was about halfway back when it broke. It damaged the string, string stops, barrel, and turn buckles. I had just replaced the string and cables 54 shots earlier. The bow itself has a 1000 shots on it. I never noticed any evidence of failure from that strap. I reckon it just reached the end of its life. Ten Point got everything fixed and I'm sighted in. It did shoot about 6in higher than it was previously. I guess maybe because of the new barrel idk. But the xbow shoots great always has. Thanks to the ten point staff for getting to it in a timely manner.
