This string has been on this bow since I got it in 2021 or 22.  It's starting to show a little fraying.  Deer season starts in 2 weeks. I don't have another string and if I did I'm concerned a new string would shoot different anyway.  So I'm looking for advice here.  Stop shooting it immediately? Good for another 4 weeks?

From what I see,  just looks like a string that's begging to be waxed.

Yaa,I would wax is very liberally.Get it down into every strand.Continue to wax it for the next 4 weeks.Should last 4 weeks.

What kinda bow and length,String length?I got a lot of strings and might have one to fit you for free.

Apply liberal wax then rub in hard to "melt" the wax into the string.  Should be good to go unless you see broken strands.

It's only frayed a bit. Ive seen strings being shot that looked like a feather duster hanging off it. Wax it good and keep shooting. BTW, why do you not own at least one extra string? That should be your next priority. I've got a couple for each bow I have but I make my own strings too.

It's fine.  Just wax it.  However, it's always a good idea to have a back-up string, shot in and ready to go.
