Default String Stretch??

Just found out today that my bow string needs replaced! I had 3-4 strands busted under the serving where my release hooks! I wanted a new serving tied but apparently I let it get way too worn!The strings I have put on my bow are a custom tied Pre stretched string at a local archery shop.

It is pre stretched but my previous string(same thing)..did still stretch after a long while, I mean it took a spring and summer full of 3d shoots before I "believe" my string started stretching or turning so to say.(Estimated 500-600 shots) The only real noticeable thing was the peep turning, I shoot off the string so thats my only guess string was stretching?


My question with it being this close to season, what is the best thing to do? My guess is if the string does like the other one I should be fine, but I am just worried!!!!????????

Disclaimer.... I am Not a rookie at shooting, but I dont know a darn thing when it comes to the "Works" of these things!!

Mark a line on each side of a limb on the cams with a sharpie; if the string stretches the lines will no longer line up.....get a quick twist at the proshop and you are good to go!
