Couldnt tell ya. I've had mine for 5 yrs. I'll probably get a new string this year
That would be a really good idea. Because generally when they go, it's not a gradual thing you happen to notice one day- "ooo..I better change this"

Instead it's a "HOLY CRAP" and they completely give way when you don't expect it, and then you have a bow in pieces/damaged/destroyed and possibly yourself too.
I've seen a string/cable break while the bow was hanging on the rack. Not a pretty sight or sound. I wouldn't take the chance on it happening while I was at full draw.

The cost of New Strings and cables is small compared to what if.
