Stupid question for stupid user

Now that's reassuring

No doubt the strings will be replaced by a professional, and other parts as they determine, but it sounds like these things are designed to live their lives under tension and the primarly components are likely ok. By that I mean it is not a waste of money to have a pro look at it, and I can have some reasonable confidence after the pro has done his thing.

It’s defiantly worth the money, I was in my local shop getting some new arrows and other things the other day and the tech was looking at my bow and he found a few things (I overlooked) to fix that took a bit of up front cash but saved me from blowing up my bow and having it cost me more in the long term.
