Title: How often to change bowstring
Post by: milcol on August 27, 2010, 04:42:00 PM
Would like to know how often to change bow string I shoot on average about 30-35 per day alternating between my recurve and a longbow is there a recommended change.
                                                                         Thanks

What I do is wax my string about every 5-6 weeks and change about once a year. You always have spares that way.

Assuming no visible signs that the string needs to be replaced, I also replace it once a year.

Same here.  I'll put a new one on a few weeks before hunting season.
