Default How often do you restring your compound bow?

I boughta used bow in highschool, which was about 10 years ago. The string is starting to look a little worse for wear, and I have it cranked up pretty tight. I haven't pulled it back in several years, but I am thinking about getting into it again. I am worried about the string snapping and slashing my face.

Should I have my bow restrung? Thanks.

Ditto on what the others have said.

DO NOT PULL IT BACK.

Contact gibblet here on the forum and get one of his Bucknasty string and cables for it.
