This guide will show how to replace the strings and cables on a Mission Hammr archery bow.

Before attempting this make sure you know how everything being used for the repair operates. Incorrect use of the equipment could lead to damage and potential injuries to you as well.

When compressing the bow in the press be sure NOT to compress it anymore than what’s needed. If you do, it could result in damage to the bow and the bow press itself. If compressed enough the bow could shoot out of the press potentially harming you as well. Make sure the arms you are using in your bow press are supported in working on the Mission Hammr. If your press is not capable of holding the Mission Hammr DO NOT attempt to work on this bow in your press, doing so can seriously harm you and the equipment. Keep your fingers out of the cams. This can be tough when trying to replace the strings and cables but remember the bow is compressed and if it was to slip out while you had your fingers in them, they have the ability to break or cut off your fingers.

Warning: Exercise extreme caution when following this guide. Do not attempt to work on this bow in your press. Doing so can cause serious injury.

Remove the string.
This is the easiest piece to put on and take off. Taking this off first will keep it out of the way so you can access the cables a bit more cleanly.

Now remove the cables one at a time.
After removing an old cable, immediately replace it with a new one. Doing this will make it easier to ensure you are replacing the cables in the correct spots.
The place the cable hooks onto the cam is labeled with a C. The string goes where it's imprinted with an S.
