Default How long are you winners choice string lasting you

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm just curious I just finished my 2nd year of hunting with them they still look good. They have not moved since they were broke in all my measurements are the same now as they weretwo years ago. Except for the X-coat seperating by the cable gaurd and I replacesd the center serving once they still seem in good shape. I just wanted to know how long everyone elsed are lasting.
Thanks

I use to change strings and cables every year. Since using custom stings I change them every two years now. I haven't had any problems with center serving but I do pay attention to the servings around the cams. Jerry

I prefer to change my WC strings every 2 seasons. That's exactly twice as long as a "normal" string woould last. I have seen a handful of folks use 'em for a third season but I personally don't.

I'm using factory zebra strings on my '02 LEGACY and they still look just fine--am i taking a chance?I always keep plenty of wax on the string and probably only shoot 1000 shots in a year.

Mine have been on my Maverick for 3 years and they still look great but I'll be replacing them shortly.

I replace my string and cable at the same time. If I don't then it would be out of whack. The cable would be worn in but the string woudn't.
