Bowstring itself is a consumable, and its life is no longer than that of a bow. Bowstring service life is 5000- 10000 arrows. It is normal for bowstring to be used in this range. If it is well maintained, it can last longer.
However, the bowstring cannot be empty. Empty bowstring once will not only greatly reduce the life of bowstring, but also shorten the life of bowstring. If it is more serious, people will have any accidents. Using bows and arrows safely is the most important thing to ensure personal safety.
Maintenance mode of bowstring
Bowstring maintenance mainly depends on bowstring wax. There is a famous saying in the circle that "wax does not grind". Proper use of bowstring wax can greatly increase the service life of bowstring. Generally speaking, the bowstring needs to be waxed when shooting around 100-200 arrows, but this can be mastered flexibly. When you find that the bowstring is white in use, it means that the bowstring is dry and needs waxing maintenance.
It should be noted that the wax must not be applied too much. Too much string wax can easily make the bowstring absorb dust and dirt, but it will cause damage to the bowstring. Generally speaking, in addition to the bowstring at the guide wheel and the bowstring wrapped with the string protector, the compound bow needs to be waxed frequently for maintenance. It is necessary to check bowstring regularly, and gradually develop good habits is the premise to avoid unexpected dangers in use.
