I am going to take a wild guess and say you don't shoot that much through the year. I would recommend buying a new string and getting it serviced. Do you wax your string? Have you checked the servings?

As a side note, the Q2 is a dang good bow up

Bow companies recommend every two years through normal use, and of course if you see wear.
I think it's about time, I'd contact Korbin Stings good guy and awesome strings. Also a pretty good rule of thumb is every 2500 3000 shots depending string care.

I wouldn't shoot that bow on a bet without new strings and cables!

Yes it is!!! wink
Believe it or not, I didn't change mine for the first 9 yrs. Not saying to wait that long, but after I bought that bow brand new and got her zeroed in, I would shoot a few days before season, a few days during season, then a few times after season, mostly on hog hunts. I kept the string in real good shape, didn't shoot a whole lot during the year, hence it lasting so long. Once it started showing a little fraying, I changed it. That was 3 or 4 yrs ago and the string now still looks brand new.

X2 on Korbin. Was great to work with and string has held up very well. Used to be around here some, but haven't seen his name in awhile.

He's so darn busy he doesn't have much time to get on the computer; but not so busy that someone will not call you on the phone with questions about strings. I emailed them last week on Sunday and Monday morning I got a phone call. They are a class act.

i've had mine on for 9 years, still shoots fine great. as long as string is not worn/frayed i wouldn't worry about it. I don't shoot much, probably less than 1500 shots in all 9 years so mine still has some life in it.

Just at archery place and was told every 4-5 years and waxing to be done on specific areas all the time. Avoid getting in Cams
