If they are just sittin around, they will last as long as the epoxy holding them together, that could be decades, who knows. But I found shooting them alot, the spine starts getting weaker but the bow usually does too.


I have this PSE Mohave setup, I have used for 8 years. I used the same beman hawks for 5 years. They alway flew good. I hadn't tuned the bow (as it was a spare) for years. But always made sure it was zero'd if I needed it. Well this year I changed the strings and cables, and now my bemans didn't shoot so well. Way too weak. The bow had lost poundage from string stretch over the years. It was a fast flight string which will stretch. They used to shoot fine at 67lbs. Now too weak. All I can figure is they lost alot of spine.
