Yes but you may also void your bows warranty.
A valid point to consider. It does not address that the Octane strings are pretty unimpressive though. I am willing to take my chances with a better set of strings. Can I use aftermarket string and cable sets on my BowTech or Diamond bow? Many aftermarket string and cable(s) sets are only "close" on the lengths and diameters. This can drastically slow down, affect the performance, and significantly reduce the ease of tuning your bow. Use of aftermarket string and cable sets, and failure of that product resulting in further damage, will void the lifetime warranty of your bow. Of all the OEM's out there, none are making particularly impressive strings. I will say that the string quality on a flagship bow will be far superior to those on a pricepoint model.

I rescind my criticism. Diamond called Joshua tonight and said they would cover it and he doesn't have to worry. They appreciated his business and told him they would get his bow back in shape at no cost.
I was wondering how this went. Glad to hear that!

Got the bow back today and it turned out there was a burr on the cam. The fixed it and sent him a shirt and had the bow shop fix him up a dozen arrows on them. They called him tonight and checked on him and gave him a direct number to call if he ever has any problems. I must say again I rescend my criticism. He now has Chris at bowtech saved as a contact on his cell.

It turned out ok. You are right. The first guy sucked. When I took the bow to Longview the guy at the shop told me that bowtech was top notch and he would call them. Soon after the company went above and beyond. They guy at Winchester in Longview did tell me that I should replace the string with a zebra or go first class with Korbin. We will end up doing that in the future.
