Bow strings??
« on: August 28, 2015, 09:08:59 PM »
I bought a used Mathews dr2 a few years ago from a friend. I have been trying to get enough range time to feel confident about a clean shoot. Anyway how long to strings last? I don't want to damage the bow. Thanks Jason

It depends on how often you shoot and how often you wax your strings. I bet you can get the hunting season out of it. Wax the hell out of it. I shot my used Switch back plenty for a long time on a used string....
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I change mine every 1-2 years depending on shot count.

I change my bowstrings every other year.  I've been getting my strings from www.60xcustomstrings.com and have been pretty happy.

I replace mine every other year. Another vote for 60x. Best strings ive used and good prices.

I just replaced my first string, in 37 years of bow hunting.....   :o  I'm on my fourth bow in that time.   I did have a cable break once but the string was fine.   :chuckle:
