I bought my r9 back in 2018. Since I’ve had it I’ve shot it 4-500 times without changing the cable. The other day it started shootings funny. I decided to buy the Ravinpress and a new cable set. Upon arrival I started the process of changing the cables and string. I found out why it was shooting running. My old cables were stretched out by 1/2”. They were in tough shape. I called RAVIN they said it was recommended to change them at 2 years or 200 shots. I was well past that. The new cables went right on and the bow shoots like new. As you would expect from RAVIN the quality of the bows built to last. 👍👍😎
