Default RE: How many strings can you cut on the bow string and still be safe?

Replace the bow string. If one strand breaks it tends to weaken and diminish the overall strength of the string.

It may last for several shots but I sure would not take the chance.

Len, you provide great service for you customers. Wish I had the same here.

The string is too cheap not to replace it NOW. Just think of the damage it could do if it breaks during a draw. That is to the bow and you.[] On the subject of strings, I' m looking for string material to build my own strings. Does anyone know where I can get it???

You can get string material from any good proshop.

As far as shooting your bow with only one or two strands broken... I say go for it.

What is the worst that can happen?

I can show whoever goes to the northeast get together the cutest little 6 stitch scar on my chin from trying that one!

You got the correct advise, and I am glad to see you are getting a new string.

If you are near any of the bigger shoots (IBO Triple Crown, etc.) then you could check them also. I usualy wait till then to buy from the BCY rep. He usually has a good selection and willing to give you advise. (personally I like 450 Plus)
