Default When to replace your bow string?

I'm just curious. When should you replace the bow string on your bow? Every year? Every other? Every three years? Just wondering how often people do this.

no real set time line, it all depends on use and condition of string/cables.

how often/frequency do you shoot?
when did you get your bow?

..when it's worn and nasty-looking, put a new one on

It does depend a lot on how much the bow is shot and how much abrasion the strings are subjected to. I would never leave a set on any longer than 2 years and I'd change them sooner if the Bow got a lot of use.

I am currently running specials on Vapor Trail Strings and Cables including Halo serving. If anyone is interested they can PM me for details.
