Default Serving ?

I have only had this bow since June and wondering why the serving is already coming loose on my nock point. How long does the serving usually hold up?

Might have just been poorly wrapped from the factory. Or perhaps something nicked the serving? I shoot off the string with a caliper release and I have over 3000 shots on the same serving but it's just now needing replaced.

Whenever I buy a new bow I always remove the fatory serving and reserve it myself. I've noticed in the past that the factory serving never seems to hold up.

Pat a lot of times factory serving is monofilament. It never holds up well. When you get it replaced use a quality braided serving like #62 or halo, and you will be much happier.

Thank You gentlemen for you replies. I am going back to the pro shop tomorrow and get them to repair it. Just really surprised me that it started coming apart so quick.
