If it was my bow about a week

If your Happy with them For now I would leave them......Depends on How much you shoot normally, If its alot then change them out once you see any change in Peep Rotation, ATA lenghts Change, or any Fraying or Serving Seperation!

Why do you say about a week?

I don't have a lot of faith in stock strings

Some are good and some are junk. Which is why I change strings and cables as soon as I get a new bow.

Custom strings are the best way to go and gibblet makes the best

I just talked to John on Tuesday - I think he backed up about three weeks at this time. Still worth the wait.

I replace my string every couple years. But that is just what i like to do.

I change my once a year but I think I am going to switch out my Fuse strings on the Hoyt a lot sooner.
