I tried to find the steel cables for my 2004 Titan TL-4 xbow on TenPoints site, they showed the part # but the cables are "no longer available". So I called TP today and was told they no longer make steel cables and that they recommended I return the frontend to them for "updating" which consists of replacing the wheels and putting a new string and synthetic cable on which would then allow any dealer to replace with the newer synt cables in the future.

The cost quoted was $118 + 30-45mins of labor ($50pr hr rate) and a 2 day turnaround. I thought that was fair as my local dealer is Gander Mtn and honestly I wouldn't let the pimple faced kid up there TOUCH my bow and I'm sure they'd charge $100+ for cable+string replacement & WHO KNOWS how long it'd take even if they COULD get a new cable! More than likely their "archery tech" at Gndr Mtn was still drinkin koolade from a sippie cup and watchin Barney tapes when my xbow was built! I'm just curious, does anyone know if the synt cables be any quieter+smoother than the steel? TP is putting new wheels on it but I wouldn't expect them to be anymore aggressive so I'm not expecting any speed gain (other than "perhaps" a 1-2fps gain just because the syn cables are a smidge lighter than the steel so they should "react quicker" having less mass).

I thought about selling my bud this ol TL-4 and buying a new TP Venom but honestly I just like this ol bow and it doesn't have much use on it anyway. I killed a 120 class 8pt with it back in Oct so it certainly can still "sprinkle the mummy dust" when the moment arises!

I am in the same boat hatchie........I have a TL4 with metal cables. Now I need to find a box to ship it back. The conversion will give us a bit more speed.

I just sent my xbow to 10 Point for the cable conversion 0n my Titan TL4 and they also changed the cams....I sent it out UPS Friday and was called by 10 Pt today it was done!

Chatted with the tech who did my work. Answered all my questions.
Now I call that Customer Service!

Can't wait to get it back so I can re-check the scope to get it ready for Turkey season!

Just got my Titan TL4 back from the factory with new string and now with the new detachable quick quiver.
I also had the Accu Draw string replaced. 5 day turn around.

Excellent work.

The new string is all camo which just adds to this old Titan.
Now to re-assemble (that also was a learning process as this is my 1st xbow) which was easy to do.
And then onto the range to get all sighted back in.
Sight in at 20 - adjust windage and elevation to zero - I do use a monopod, and then shoot again at 40 and adjust scope speed setting till I zero in at 40 and I will be good to go.

Come on turkey season - we will be lopping heads soon.

2 day turn around for mine as well but I had to leave town for a few days so I didn't get to call them back until Thurs morn. My front end came FedEx late this aftrn. Had to go somewhere tonight but I quickly put the bow together, screwed the old dampeners on the limbs, put the foam silencers on the yokes & couldn't resist running out in the backyard with the TenPoint & my Block. Stepped off 15 paces, top dot (3 dot sight), 22" carbon bolt w/ 100grn tip. Bow sounds a "scant quieter" but that's kinda like sayin a 38Spcl ain't as loud as a 357! But it's certainly smoother & faster! (I just need to upgrade the decade old dampener/silencer system) the bow was shooting 3" higher at 15yds & 2" higher at 25yds than previously.

Sure glad I didn't sell it to my bud & spend the $$$ on a new one that I really don't need! I just like the simplicity and ruggedness of this ol TL-4. ALOT of outdoors equipment co.s could take a lesson in engineering quality PLUS customer service from TenPoint!

I can't wait to shoot mine but alas I must. Bow is with me - arrows are all at the north home!
