Default Quick Question

If I shoot around 100 shots a week from Jan to Sept and then say 50 a week from Oct to Dec...and I keep the string waxed when should I change the string?? I have noticed some fray in the cables but on in two little spots....

buy quick question mugs, tshirts and magnets
The plea occasionally comes from a pain in the ass office worker who is clueless and wants help desperately. He does not have a "quick question." The question is not the issue: he usually requires a quick answer that is not easily given. He gives the appearance of knowing what he is talking about but needs a tutorial on how to load a stapler. This guy (sorry men: this stupid question normally does not come from a woman) is not long for the company if he asks this kind of **** all the time. The worst offenders will use "air quotes" when asking a "quick question."

What the hell are you talking about? The man asked a valid question or did I miss something?

Yeah well, that's what I thought too, but I like to let people explain themselves. You never know. They just might be saying something my feeble mind isn't picking up.

It is suggested that for "normal" shooting, the shooter should change the string yearly and the harness system atleast every other year. However, if you shoot a lot, it's my suggestion that your strin system bereplaced EVERY YEAR. Good luck and good shootin'

If you can please shoot your bow more often!! Even at 100 shots a week is very little, do what you can to get good at what we love. Now if your string is more than 4 yrs old, it has probably stretched and may be starting to dry rot. Even when strings look good and "new" they need to be changed when old or shot a lot.
