If I was you I would take it to a shop and have it checked over before shooting it.
Second that..
most stings are good for a long time if there taken care of if the bow has set with max poundage on the sting its probably junk and I would replace it also have the cam/wheel bushings and limbs checked and the limb mounts on the riser and don't forget the cables.
