How often do you have to re searve your bowstring?

[Schafer]

Just wondering how often you have to re searve your bowstring?

[wtpops]

I will resurve mine about 3 or 4 times throught the life of the string.

Really dependes on the amount of shooting. My general rule of thumb is when the nock becomes loose or the serving has any wear or seperation. }}}}}}}---------> Ed

Never.

If the serving starts to wear I figure it's about time to make myself another string.

I agree with Jeremy. That is a very safe approach. I have 3 main bows that I rotate shooting throughout throughout the year. But I make a habit of changing strings after 6 months of use, just to be safe.

I am with big ed on this one. I change mine several times in the life of a string. If I see any wear I change. I also look my string over very at the nock area. If it is worn or stressed I change the string.

Depends on the type serving, how it's applied, etc.  Normally if I've worn out 62XS or Halo serving, the string is worn enough to change out everything.

Well I almost never wear out serving.  Tight nocks will weaken it if that's your issue.  I normally just replace a string each year...they are cheap to make, or even buy.
