Is It Time for a String Replacement?
If you’ve been using the same bow string for more than two years, it’s probably stretched and overdue for a replacement. You can check by measuring axle to axle, brace height, and bow poundage. If the specs don’t line up, that means your string and/or cables have stretched and you’re losing performance.
Fortunately, there’s an easy solution. Our replacement Mathews bow strings and cables make your bow feel like it did the day you bought it. Because strings tend to stretch very slowly over time, you may not even realize that your bow isn’t shooting like it used to. Replacing your worn strings with a fresh set can give you a night-and-day difference.

FAQs
How often should bow strings be replaced?
In general, frequent shooters should replace their strings at least every two years. The actual time frame can vary depending on how often you shoot, your shooting style, and how you maintain and store your equipment.
With that said, it’s crucial to replace your bow string as soon as you detect significant signs of wear, such as fraying, heavy fuzzing, broken or stretched strands, or a decrease in your bow’s performance.
Here are two blogs that will help you determine when it’s time for a Mathews bow string replacement:
Should I use a 16 or 18 strand bowstring?
When ordering Mathews strings, choose a strand count that fits your bow’s draw weight. For example, 16 strands are typically suitable for a bow with a 65-pound draw weight. 18 strands may be better for a bow with a 70-pound draw weight.
Fewer strands can improve speed, but that performance boost may cause vibrations and tuning issues.

Should I wax my bow string?
Yes, waxing your bow string regularly will extend its lifespan and improve its performance. The wax provides a protective layer that helps to prevent damage caused by water, regular use, and dirt and debris. It also keeps the strands from becoming dry and brittle, naturally improving the flexibility of your Mathews string.
