They shoot a much faster arrow, for sure, but I decided I don't want to spend that much of my free time tuning my bow instead of shooting it.
My exact feeling. I have not touched the compound since December and don't miss it at all.
But to answer your question Mitch. I think a lot as to do with how much you shoot it and the type of equipment you are using (string one of the most important). For me, when I was shooting the oompound a lot, I'd say about every month or so.
