VaporTrail strings installed for that price at the feed store in Lufkin.
The cost is around $60-65 I believe, and they added $10-15 for labor. It was over a year ago, but that sounds about right.
$125 is highway robbery.

I bought a set from a maker on Ebay for 32.00 delivered. I installed them myself, it just took a month to get them or I would recommend them. The strings and cables are as good as Bucknasty strings that he sells for 75.00..
125.00 is out of the question!

125.00 is out of the question! I KNOW you pay about $80 for those strings/cables straight from the "man". So YOU are saying $125, give or take $15, is out of the question to have a set of "PREMIUM" srings & cables intalled is unacceptable  ? If you can honestly say yes, then the PK 'fumes' have melted your brain  ! If I'm soooooooooo wrong  , what is the 'norm' for having a set of "premium" strings/cables installed  ? Please post the 'installer', other than yourself, where y'all are gettin' these slammin' deals  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW, the only reason I used so many smilies is because I'm

http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Bow-Strings-a...=item4150d0df8eThis guy sell an awesome string. Same material as the top string makers he's just slow on delievery. I imagine he's just that far behind with a price like that... and it's free shipping..32.95 is unheard of... I also get great deals on a lot of stuff because of all the years I've been in archery. Being sponsored by Bowtech got me around to all the shows and met a lot of people! As far as posting an installer any bowshop can install strings. I just don't let ANY BOW SHOP touch my bow!!!NONE...

For a little more than $125 you can buy one of these http://www.nitehawkarchery.com/My_Homepage_Files/Page1.html and the string that Bjankowski referenced. I have one of these presses and it ROCKS! 125 seems crazy to buy one and have installed but I haven't had a shop mess with my bow for a few years now so could be right.
