Bow string replacement?

[ratsnakeboogy]

I have a Mathews Legacy that I bought basically new about 10 years ago and have been using it ever since. I don't shoot a huge amount of arrows each year, and I wax and clean the strings. The string shows very little wear, and it still shoots great, should I replace it after this year or wait 'till it shows a lot of wear?

Being that old, I would definately replace it after this season. You will be surprised at just how much the string has stretched and the poundage you have lost, plus you run a higher risk of having a strands being weak and breaking down integerally and snapping in two.

That's what I figured, I just hated to mess with it when it shoots so well and the peep turns perfectly for me.

Thanks.

I'd order a custom string. Most factory strings aren't worth a crap! Mathews used cheap zebra strings.

Going with BuckNasty strings I think.
