Title: Bow strings??
Post by: JasonG 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

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