    Hey everyone!! Just curious at what point do I replace my string? I usually wax my string before every time I shoot, but if I don't it looks a bit shabby.

    How long have you had your present string and how many shots have you put through it? I try to change mine at least every other year.

    The string still looks good (I think) and it's on my 2008 Bowtech General and the other string is on my 2009 Alphamax

    They are original strings? I would probably get them changed out in the near future.

    Do I need to get new cables as well or just the string?
