the bow a 06 or 07 bowtech Guardian. Original string so what ever brand they use. The string probly has close to 1000 shots im not for sure, but I shot league for a year so I put alot of arrows in it. I always keep the string waxed up. As I said i put in a G5 Meta peep to replace the peep with the rubber band as it broke one to many times while shooting. I spose ill have to take it to Scheels and get it fixed, I don't have a bow press.
