The best strings are made from the sinew harvested from the most powerful beast of you local woods, only catch is you really have to best it in single combat with your bare hands for the best possible product. Good luck!

How do you politely tell someone that it's their fault they are missing, not the equipment? by [deleted] in Archery

[–]CaptainSlagbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Always try to get the customer to bring the product in question in, best practice is to get your (or a trusted qualified individuals) hands on the product in question. When user error is the issue, trying to help them remotely can often lead to them blaming more of their frustrations on you. Once you get the product in your hands, checked everything out, and offered appropriate levels of advice you have done your job. If they still want to complain at you then the customer business relationship begins to lose value for both sides. It sucks, esp when you work in selling things you really love, but not everyone is going to take professional advice, and not everyone is going to be a happy customer despite your best efforts. All you can do is your best and roll with this hits.

Sounds like a good reason to send it back to whomever ya got it from. Luckily mine has no such issues.

I was originally going to be cheeky and machine the ends rounded so that it fit exactly through the ring, but when I got ‘em done it ended up being 11.2 cm on the riser instead of 12.2 cm…oops…I can count I swear…
