Bow String Question

[Seth]

I was wondering how often some of you guys and gals change out your bow string. I bought the Switchback XT last summer, shot it quite a bit including about 4 or 5 shoots then used it extensively in bow season. I waxed the string often and it is showing no signs of fraying. Any recommendations as to weather I should keep it on or get it changed?? I'm open to suggestions.

Check the timing and if the string looks OK and is showing no wear don't worry about it.

if you keep waxing it and dont notice any fraying, you are probably fine.

I personally change my string once a year.

I view it as changing batteries once a year on smoke detectors.

Preventative maintenance prevents problems in the future.

Just make sure you keep looking over your shoulder Thomas!!!

If you do alot of indoor, outdoor shoot plus hunting, my bow techy says once a year.

If you just hunt and a few shoot a year then once every 2 years.

Some problems are hidden and you cant always see that strand that brakes in the middle of your string.

That's a good point. However I think I'm gonna be alright for this upcoming year though. Unless something unforseen happens during the summer shoots... fingers crossed. Thanks for the input everybody, I appreciate it.
