Is it time to replace my Ravin String?

Its archery season, it’s time to assess your hunting gear for purging, repairing, or replacing and you might be asking yourself is it time to replace my ravin string. As a hunter who values top-quality equipment, you understand that your crossbow is the most crucial item on your gear list and you are asking how do I check my string.

First off, Ravin maintenance recommendation for the expected life of strings and cables on Ravin products suggests replacement every two years or 400 shots (200 shots on R500).

You can also check the life of the strings and the cables by checking the timing marks on the cam as pictured below.

The timing marks are indicated by the orange dots. You can see both cables are running through the timing marks which indicated the string and cables may still be in great shape.

You can see that the cables are not running through the timing holes which indicate a new string set is needed.
