If your are not absolutely sure about changing the string I would let someone else ( the archery store) do it. With the tension on those things, they can get out of hand quick. very awkward to mess with. I have not archery hunted in a few years and when I opened my bow case the string was just laying loose in the case. Took it to a archery store and had a new one put on for around $25. Very much worth the $$ for me. You might also want to get your arrows cut to your draw length and if you use real feathers on your arrows you will want to coat them with something. When they get wet they are messed up till dry. I changed to plastic fletching but I still think the real ones fly better, just not when wet.
