It was the strangest thing, I literally just waxed my sting looked everything over this past weekend. I fixed some arrows, added some fletching, general maintenance of my equipment. I was in my backyard flinging some arrows last night and I nocked up an arrow that had, well lets say not the best nock on it. I new this nock was loose on the string but not loose enough to fall off the string when I would point the arrow down while it is nocked. I was attempting a snap shot and when I release the string the arrow flew all of 8 feet and my string broke at the top loop and my bow basically dry fired at 3/4 draw. The bow seems to be fine I had another string that I put on and am back and ready to go, no cracks no splinters, nothing.
I picked up the arrow and looked at the nock and it literally broke in half. It looks like the string basically cut one side of the nock grip off.
Anything like this ever happen to anyone else? I inspect and wax my sting 2-3 times a year typically before fall hunting, then once I pick it back up after winter.
How often should you replace your sting?
