how/where can i restring this bow?

its a shakespeare super necedah x-30 i believe the weight is 60 lbs. from the serial # or w/e u wanna call it . . . anyway im a complete noob at archery and this was my grandads bow and i was wondering should i go to a pro shop to get it restrung? if so whats a good place in houston? OR should i even think the prethunk thought of restringing it? and if so what would i need?

How long has that bow been sitting in the closet? You'll need to tell the people at the shop that info. A bow that's been unused for a long time need to be reconditioned and worked back to shooting condition. You can't just string it right up, it'll snap on you.

For pro shops in Houston, try this website, www.texasarchery.org. Go under the Businesses link and it'll have a list of stores in the state.
