BCY crossbow string serving 45 yards
A video on how to make the wrap is here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhgpUZLgnvUThe cost of shooting a crossbow is minimal, the only thing you need to do from time to time is wrap the center part of the bowstring, exactly where the bowstring acts on the arrow when shot.
The lifespan of this high quality wrap is about 300-600 shots, if you use a bowstring wax, it also depends on the performance of the crossbow, the faster and more powerful the crossbow, the more wear.
A well tightened and stitched wrap /it is important to turn as many wraps as possible on the length of the wrap and to lock the edges well so that no gaps are created/, lasts about 300-600 shots, depending on the performance of the crossbow, the stronger the crossbow, the greater the demands on the quality of the wrap...
