SO I have an older Darton Mustang, have had it for 25 years or so, it has been in storage in a plastic case in a closet for 20+ years.
I found it moving and wife wanted to shoot it.

It has been strung for 25 years, I was afraid It would break a limb if string broke shooting it.

So I went to 2 local shops and it was going to cost ~$200 to put new string on it.. is that the going price?

SO what are thoughts?

Thanks

If the cost includes the string and all the necessary adjustments, then I'd say that $200.00 is on the high side of average.

America's Best Bowstrings sells strings for the Mustang of different qualities from $119 - 179. So if they were quoting on the mid grade @ 149, they're only looking at $50 for the install and any tuning.

However, I'm not sure which Mustang model that is since they made two different models with that name.

Either way, a +25 year old bow+string replacement(which may be hard to source)+the work necessary to do a basic tune isn't going to be the cheapest thing.

I lost this thread, may go ahead with it, it was a good bow, not fastest but it shot good

Thanks for info
