String change

[Warwagon]

Besides for the obvious reasons, how often do you change your bow string? I’m going on 4 years on my current string and was thinking about putting a new string on. If I averaged my shooting out, I’d guess I shoot 2 times a week, prolly about 80 shots a week. What’s everyone else do?

Normally I've shot 300 or so arrows a week ofd season. Sometimes more. However this year a bone spur has really limited my shooting and at this rate a string will last me a lifetime.
10,000 shots or so.

I try to have a couple made up for each bow and rotate them every so often. That way if I accidentally cut one I have a shot in string but they will last for many years if modern materials.

One of my bows has a string on it, that is near 30 years old.
That bow is near 100# draw weight at my draw. I won't hesitate to shoot it, and still do occasionally.

That string has been taken good care of though. Waxed when it needs it, and not left strung. If the draw weight were lower, I'd probably leave it strung.

There are really only two things, that will degrade string material, and age isn't one of them. UV, and mold. Both of which are preventable with good string care of cleaning drying, and rewaxing.

I don’t change my string till I see a need to. Usually, that is excessive fraying in one of the loops. I get thousands and thousands of shots out of a string before I replace it.
