Default What would you do?

I just bought a new bow this past week, and I need some input on something. It is a brand new, still in the box 2005 Hoyt Vtec. I have heard that some of he older Hoyts had some problems with their strings. Will the factoy string that is on the bow now still be good, even tho it has never been shot, or should I plan on puting a new string on it right away?

It should still be new. It hasn't been shot, hasn't been in sunlight etc. Measure the ATA and check specs. I think you'll be fine.

They will be fine. Had them on My 06 trykon for about a year and a half.

If you don't want them, you can simply partially dryfire your bow, it will take them off without a press[>:][&o]

and nice post count RIGHT now, BTW
