I have been shooting an Alpine for about 5 years. Practice with it. Hunt with it. Then put it away till next season. I can't see any visual wear on it,but am thinking about getting Shaw to build a new one for it. The other is a Hoyt my nephew gave me recently. I don't know how old the string is,bit I would say over 3 years. I can't see any defects on it either. I haven't ever had a now come unwound, but I had a friend who did. He said it was hunting. Up in a tree stand and drawing on a deer when it happened. Said he almost jumped out of his skin.

It all depends on the amount of shooting you do and how well you maintain them. Thing to remember is most of the time, if one breaks, it will be an end loop or under the serving where a potential problem can’t be seen. On the 5 year old one, it’s time. On the 3 year old one, if it’s a factory set, it’s time.

How much does a new string installed cost, ballpark?

I charge between $120 and $150 depending on the bow model for a complete string and cable set installed.

looks ok, I rarely shoot it because I stick with trad bows.
