Default RE: bow strings

this october will be the start of having my bow and string for 2 yrs...i keep it in my room alot og the time unless im hunting ...how many arrows have i shot?i have no idea i know it cant be alot cuz i really only shoot when i go to the ranch and ill shoot about 4-50 times when i go...went about 15 times now.....i was just thinkin if it would be cheaper to buy a string from gibblet and have my bow shop put it on or should i just buy one from my bowshop and have them put it on

All my bowhunting buddies shoot winner's choice and they seem to last alot longer than any other that I've seen or used.I have one on order for my 02 Legacy,and by the way we probably shoot about 300 to 500 shots weekly and ther is not a nick or fray in anyone's string.

could be a little creep showing there, or the serving wasnt put on quite tight enough - or any number of things. if the cable isn't lengthening or fraying right there - its no worries at all. what if i told you that strings and serving were made outof the same thing? if i unwind serving and take a single strand of it - and unwind that - and handed it to you along w/ a piece of string material of the same diameter - you wouldn't be able to tell me which was which - now ain't that a trip.

of course, but do it before july 5th ok. something about the july 4th holiday - it starts the blood a boilin' for many a hunter, and on july 5th for the past 2 years the string buying frenzy starts.

IF YOU REPLACE THE STRING WINNERS CHOICE IS A GOOD STRING BUT CHECK WITH YOUR PRO SHOP IT MIGHT SLOW YOUR BOW DOWN A LITTLE OR COULD SPEED IT UP. ON MY OLD MATHEIWS OUT BACK IT SLOWED IT DOWN 11 FPS WENT TO A BARACUDA AND IT SPEED IT UP 7 FPS OVER STOCK
