How often do you replace your string

Sorry not a lot else to ask just that. The reason behind this is that I bought an 08 Bowtech Airborne on clearance from the dealer 2 months ago. For whatever reason nobody bought it so 50% off sounded great! Anyways one has to believe the has been test shot quite a bit over a period of two maybe three years. Usually in that period of time I have always got a new bow so strings never crossed my mind other than winners choice but couldnt convince my "bank" that it was a "neccesity".

Well I went through 2 fuse strings in a matter of months this year but I was shooting every day for at least an hour, and those strings are garbage anyway. I went to a winners choice for my maxxis now and its holding up fairly well. If you don't wanna spend a whole bunch of money have you considered buying just the string and leaving the cables?
How do you like you 82nd? I recently got an 09 and its a pretty sweet bow!

Love it other than the 08 string stopper position. That is getting changed.
I did have a few issues at the shop getting my center of shot with the Trophy Taker. I hear it is dang near impossible with the 82nd due to the short brace height.
I was getting 308fps before I switched arrows. Havent chronoed since.

Maybe some other bowtech guys can chime in because this is the first I have owned but from what I hear they like to be inside center a hair.

That sounds right. I am very happy with my tuning now
Problem is I gotta stop shooting groups otherwise I re-fletch all the time.

Depending on how much you shoot, once a year. I'd replace them with bowtech strings, same quaility as WC if not better and the price is better.
