ive had the same bow for 13 years it sat for about ten years after my first season. ive done alot of shooting with it in the past 3 years. figured i should bring it in and have a pro take a look at it to make sure its still working the way it should. he said every thing looked fine string and all. well i bought a peep sight for it 3 days ago. i put it on myself had to redo it acouple of times before i got it lined up correctly. took it out to shoot it this morning drew back the first arrow and the peep was turned completly side ways. after taking a closer look at the string where my nock sits i noticed it was more oval than round so when i nocked my arrow the string would twist. huge problem for a peep. morale of the storie dont be to cheap if something looks a little off get it fixed before you end up wasting time doing things that wont help you. my new string should be on tommorow. should be help full

i would have replaced the string and cable to be safe after sitting that long

I am curious....what kind of bow?

sorry it took so long to get back started working again not much time for any thing any more. i use a silverhawk xi. its set for 50 pounds. thats about all i know. my dad bought it for me and all i cared at the time was i had a bow

I used an old Indian Warhawk two years ago. I can definately say you should go shoot some new bows, things have changed alot! But dont go shoot them if you dont plan on buying one

have thought about buying a new bow some nothing to serious. always the same problem need the money. some time in the future i will have to break down and buy one
