Gibblet, I know you definitely know your strings, just from reading other peoples posts! You mentioned string care...I had the same string and cables on my Ultratec for four years! I shoot about 100 arrows a week, year round, and wax my cables and string once a week (with Tex-Tite), making sure to work the wax in real good with my thumb and forefinger. I check the cams for burrs and the string and cables for any wear. I had a new set in my tackle box since I owned the bow and when I took it to the shop for a "tune-up", the pro told me thatgiven the condition that the original set was in, he wouldn't bother changing them. When I sold the bow (with the same set on it), the guy who bought it thought I was pulling his leg when I told him how old the string and cables were (and he still has the new set in his tackle box.
