I really don't have any replacement springs for my Xbow. I'm wondering, If I throw a bungee on it, where should I reinforce. I did the plunger rod, I am soon to do the spring rest, but where should reinforce for a bungee? The plunger rod grip?

You've been here long enough to know better. The Modification Directory answered your question in second.

The common reinforcements that are needed is the part of the body shell that holds the back of the plunger tube. Whatever spring you use will be pushing against this piece. It's usually reinforced with long screws, or thin metal sheeting, or both.

And the plunger rod itself should your bungees not be pulling directly along the center line of the plunger tube.

This question is also answered in the STICKIED crossbow thread where Groove gives a link to details on the different "levels".

Just to double-check, this is essentially the same for all springers, yes?

All right, sorry, should have searched.

Thanks

Some are more robust than others.
