How often do you change your bow string?

[BenedictGomez]

I'd rather replace the bow than replace a compound bow string

 

 

Recurve crossbows FTW.

 

Do string changes yourself in approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds.  DIY free.

when I notice wear and tear, then it's off for Rob's custom string at Targeteers

Totally unnecessary with today's modern material for

Thats just because when you took it to the MD at the  Xpert shop and had it redone last time it wasnt right lol

 

But as luck would have it , you knew a specialist

Depends on each different bow.

I have some that just seem to abuse a set of strings and cables . and others that can be shot for years without anything more than a serving redone.

My best  3D target bow has only been done twice in 12 years.

and it drives tacks.

 

Over waxing strings and cables is just as bad as not waxing them at all.

Excess wax attracts dirt.

dirt causes heat and friction.  That is what does a set of strings and cables in the fastest

It depends how much you shoot and if you maintain it. Keep the string waxed as needed, loops too. Don't wax the serving.
