RE: String loops
My first bow was a 1993 PSE Thunder Flight Express and I had it until 2003
Note: I never changed the string and I never had a problem with it!
2nd note: I only shoot from beginning of Aug. until Sept 15th (50-70 arrows per week) when archery season begins,
then it's a few arrows once or twice a week to keep my eye on straight during the season, and to make sure I didn't bang my bow.
Totaling = 300-400 shots per year. Maybe the lack of shooting gives the string more longevity??
~ My current bow is the same thing.
Another experience is a buddy bought a used Hoyt @ the end of the eighties, it was 6 years old when he bought it and had the original string.
He shot that same bow, with that same string, until he and I upgraded in 2004, he also never had a problem. 20+ years with the original string.
Ohhh ~ the bow gods will get him![&:]
I have a friend that has a Toyota and they recommend him to change his timing belt at 60k miles, so he did. Costly expense!
I change mine at 100k and it still doesn't look worn, go figure??? This is my 4th vehicle and belt change, I figured it saved me a lot of money, without any heart ache.??
