How often do you restring your compound bow?

Stonewall308 · 09-15-2008, 10:30 AM

I boughta used bow in highschool, which was about 10 years ago. The string is starting to look a little worse for wear, and I have it cranked up pretty tight. I haven't pulled it back in several years, but I am thinking about getting into it again. I am worried about the string snapping and slashing my face.

Should I have my bow restrung? Thanks.

YES! Without question. I restring every 12-18 month.

Stonewall--do not even pull that bowstring back until you have it restrung!

Ditto on what the others have said.

DO NOT PULL IT BACK.

Contact gibblet here on the forum and get one of his Bucknasty string and cables for it.

This dude gibblet is mentioned constantly, and I always ask how the hell to reach him, and nobody seems to know, or want to tell..[&:]

I restring my hunting and target bows every year..And I prefer to use the OEM string. Keep the warranty going..
