Should I Restring my Crossbow?

If this is the information that you are getting it’s time to find a different bow shop

It’s not the first time I had heard something similar. I never really believed it but I believe the guy I was talking to. I think he was exaggerating a bit about three years to prove a point that you could get away with not doing it for that period of time. Here is a video that says similar to what he told me. He stated 3-4 months which I feel is pretty reasonable.

Interesting bit of information I found out yesterday at the bow shop when I was getting my peep adjusted. He said to not wax the string. He said if he is telling a customer to wax their string it is usually time to buy a new string. There is enough wax in the string to last a very long time, and the more wax you add the more variable your bow because it the wax holds moisture in the string, which will make the bow shoot differently at different temperatures.

I’d use a new bow shop

Yea especially sense wax is hydrophobic and repels water.
