String@cable Life

[canadian archer]

I would like to get some input on the life span of a well maintained string and cables, like how often should they be changed and for what reasons.:confused:

[Maybee-R]

I change mine once a year need it or not. I think if you take care of them and shoot average use. once a year should be soon enough. Some may go longer but I try to keep them as new as possible. if there is any stretch or peep rotating and wont stay I figure its stretching. if my bow goes out of spec I change them.

Maybee-R has a good system in place.

[Dilligaf]

I change my string every 12 months regardless and the buss cables every 18months

I don't really go by any set time frame,i just keep a close eye on them and try to get the most out of 'em by keeping them waxed often.

Take care of them, and they can last a long time. For the most part it depends on how many shots are put through them, and in what conditions you are shooting them in. It takes some guys years to wear them out, and others weeks.
