My "Bear" bows are otherwise great, but...

I have broken already 5 strings with my bows (with the 90 & 110 pounder) :x . The strings provided with the bows all snapped from the loop-part of the string, some after only after a couple of shots! I have not found any sharp parts from the siyah of the bow where the string is attached and this makes the problem a real mystery. So right now I am out of strings...

I have not been able to shoot my bows since last summer because also my assyrian type 70 pounder started to shoot the string with the arrow simultaneously (the bow started to bend in different directions from he siyahs when drawing). It has been now for 5 months since I sent it to the manufacturer for repair :evil: ...
