About how long do you wait, to put new bow string on your bow?

I voted "other".When I get a new bow,I make a new string for it.About a month before bow season opens,I put new strings on the bowsI plan to hunt with and use the old one as a back-up

I will buy a new set and put them on early too and save them as back up as well but after that I won't change them till they show wear and need it.

I change mine about every 2 years but to be honest,I could go 3-4 most likely.I use low poundage and really don't shoot that much anymore and I have HIGH quality rigging on my bows.


When I was competing,they got restrung every year.

I'm also looking to get those factory strings off of there as soon as possible. Once I get a bow all tuned and dialed in, I don't want to have to start twisting strings and cables every few hundred shots and then tweak it all over again. That's why I like the BCY452X strings that Bucknasty makes up. 20 shots or so and that's it for stretching.

My last string on my Recurve lasted 8 years. I'm going on 5 years now with this string.

With the quality that strings are today and the fact that I spread my shooting around to a couple of different bows. 2 years usually catches me.

I always have a backup set around though

Every 3 years unless I see the string fraying or damaged then asap.

On my hunting bow. I'll probably go 2 years. I just don't shoot it as much. On my target rig, I'll definately replace after this year.

Every two years. Preventative maintenance, no other reason .
