Perfect replacement for 50-lb or 80-lb crossbow. I'm using it with the self-cocking Cobra crossbow, it's a perfect fit. Don't bother with the protective ends, they'll just fly off the first time you fire the crossbow. Just have a couple of fresh strings ready, and you're set. They're cheap enough, buy 3 or 4 at a time.

this polyester string is really garbage it breaks after about 20 or so shots so don't get this try to get something better

i have used these before,the other style comes apart with use,these don't.with this price i bought 36 of them,will come back for more

The crossbow itself is a lot of fun but this replacement string was dry rotted and snapped after shooting only 6 bolts, giving me one heck of a whelp on my wrist!
Vendor replaced without question so kudos to them, but the product was disappointing. But I guess since I paid more for shipping than the product... get what you pay for!

First of all, I read various reviews on the 80# crossbow strings available. This wasn't the cheapest one, but I figured spending a little extra couldn't hurt. After all, your string is a very important component of your weapon. This string is still a cheap p.o.s. (piece of schunck). It's made of polyester which stretches a lot more than one might think when attached to the prod. This results in weaker propulsion of the bolts. Case in point: when a bolt should've passed clean through the target, it instead got stuck in the prey; which inevitably escaped. However if your not going for range (attempting shots at less than 20 yards) and primarily just doing target practice, then this string will launch the bolts. 2 out of 5
