Well I have the lights out and have shot tons of arrows from it since January, after an initial break in period it doesn't seem to get any worse. The strings really aren't very good on it in the first place so I'm replacing mine after bow season but when you pull back you can see where it's rubbing, I asked the tech at a local bow shop and he said it's just fine, just keep it waxed and once it gets broken in it shouldn't get any worse.
