What about applying string wax? Also how often do you re-apply lube to rail/serving? Great video, I'll need to acquire some lube next time I'm shopping I don't have that convenient stick version of it yet - looks much faster to use than what I got.
I have an ar-6 stinger 2 tactical and I'm having problems with double feeds. It seems like ever 10-20 shots, I get a malfunction where it drops two bolts onto the rail, and if I don't catch it before I fire, both bolt wind up getting lodged in the crossbow and I have to take the magazine off to clear them out. Is this kind of malfunction normal? Will it damage my crossbow?
That sounds very strange and definitely isn't normal. Please reach out to us through the contact form at steambow.at/en/pages/contact and we'll take care of this.
This depends on the maintenance. The first string traditionally wears out more quickly, which is why you always get a second string with our sets. If the edges round off a little through use, and I really mean just a little, the string will tend to last longer. The service life also depends on the limb used. Most customers use their string between 200 and 600 shots, and the trend is rising. There are also customers who have well over 1000 shots on their string. Normally, the middle winding suffers first and this can be easily replaced if you want to save money. There are plenty of videos on this platform that show you how.
I haven't even put 50 shots into my ar6 stinger II, and the limb caps are already cracking. Can I still use my crossbow, or should I replace the limb caps ASAP?
Every review I have seen recommends to use aluminum tips on the 55 and 90 weight limbs. The polymer/plastic ones just cannot withstand the pressure, even if you do everything properly. Kind of a shame the kit which defaults with the 55 does not include them. I think raising the tag on them by the amount they go for would not impact sales at all. It would land right around the 300 USD mark, excluding sales, which still keeps it in the budget bow category. It's kind of a pain to have to go through certain hunting outlets or steambow directly to obtain them. I'll be setting up my rig tomorrow, but don't even want to risk breaking anything with the free plastic parts, so I won't be able to shoot until the aluminum tips arrive.
@@Romulus_YT Yeah, I picked up a pair of the aluminum limb caps and they're holding up nicely. Kinda ridiculous that they don't come with the tactical.
@@czar225 right? I understand the concept behind intentionally breakable tips. The Stinger series seems to draw a lot more attention from new bowmen than it does advanced ones. So misfires or dry fires are bound to happen, strings breaking, etc. The cost of tips isn't as bad as replacing the limbs, for beginners, for sure. But like I said in the previous comment, they still could have shipped them with the stock 55 and the tag would not have exceeded budget bows qualification, seeing as the specs market them for beginner-advanced. Those aluminum tips are hard to come by through third parties in the US, and that seems to be where a bulk of Stinger sales come via Amazon/eBay. So it is a pain, for people like me, who ordered the tips through Steambow going into a weekend and were essentially without for more than a few days. But I did finally get mine in and they are so nice. Drops the fps just a tad, but broadheads don't care much if you're at optimal range. haha I did grab a 90 weight on that same order, but I gotta get to working out again to cock that thing efficiently. It feels like a lot more due to the 1 hand cocking style of the bow. Might have to see about adding a cocking tool mod on my setup.

At the end of each use, apply the lube for the next day

Can I use Rigg Oil as lubricant? It's kinda like cosmoline.
pink and rainbow, of course
I didn't receive a 'tool' supplied with my Stinger :(
Is silicone spay good to use on the steambow? Thanks!
Sure, you can use that
If you buy the thumb screw for the magazine, would it make detaching a lot easier??
You don't need any tool to open the thumb screw.
About how many times can fire the crossbow before the string needs to be replaced?

Please replace these tips, shooting with damaged tips can lead to more severe damages on the bow

Ich tausche die Sehne ohne die Spannhilfe.
I did that with 50lbs bow limbs too, but now I have the 90lbs limbs and it is very hard
