Cost of replacing a string

I am going to replace my bow string for the first time and was quoted $100 for a "premium" replacement put on. Sound about right without knowing what "premium" string or not? THanks.

Red, check with Gibblet on this site, word is he makes some awesome strings and cables and will customize the colors of the strings for you as well.
I will be ordering a set for my Mathews as soon as the season here in MD is over.

So I take it that you think it is a little high?

Closer to outrageous than a little high.

I'm glad I got a press to install strings myself. Both my press and strings are made by members here. Bowmender press by WWAG and strings by Gibblet. Both are great products.
