Drogi Paskud`zie...
Jakiekolwiek przerwane włókno natychmiast ELIMINUJE daną cięciwę i NIEZWŁOCZNIE należy ją wymienić !!
Nieważne czy pękło jedno włókno czy dziesięć...zawsze oznacza to drastyczne zmniejszenie wytrzymałości całej struktury...i może doprowadzić do zerwania całej cięciwy w jednym momencie...
Wosk w niczym tu nie pomoże !!
Absolutną głupotą jest więc świadome strzelanie z uszkodzonego "sznurka" !!
Używając architektonicznego porównania: Chciałbyś przejść po moście w którym jeden lub kilka odciągów nie trzyma już konstrukcji ??
Mam dziwne wrażenie że znam Twoją odpowiedź...

"My strings and cables look fine, why should I replace them?
Modern string material for the most part is very different from older material used years ago. The older style material would show definite signs of breaking down, not so with most modern bow string material. You can have a bowstring now that looks very good but in reality is on the verge of a catastrophic failure.
I once had a person bring me their son?s bow and they asked what I thought about the string and cables. I asked them how long it had been since they replaced them. They told me they had bought the bow used, had it for a few years and had never changed them in that time.
Before even looking at the bow I told them they needed to definitely replace them. They asked me to look at it, which I did. The string material was discolored and fraying which I showed to them and explained to them that this was signs that the string was well into the breaking down stage.
They told me to just replace the serving and they would try to limp it through bow season. When I pulled off the serving, underneath there were less than half the strands of string still in tact. The other half were completely broken. Out of twenty strands there might have been 4 or 5 that were completely together.
This is why some people have bows explode even though the string appears okay to them. The best thing that can happen when this occurs is that it is going to hurt really bad. It just gets worse from there. You will generally break things and loose things which are a part of your bow set up.
Another scenario I have seen many times is that when a person goes to get their bow out and start practicing for the fall hunting season they get a big surprise. When they open the bow case the string or cables are broken and the bow is in pieces. This is because the bow string is under constant pressure and the string material is constantly breaking down. Sooner or later something has to give whether you are shooting the bow or not.
This is not a problem that effects only modern bows. I had a recurve string break on me while I was shooting. The string looked fine but was over a year old, it snapped under the serving. Luckily I had another string already set up and broken in, I installed it and went about my business. While it wasn?t nearly as painful as a modern bows wrath when the string breaks, it still sent a shock wave through my arms and shoulders that I felt for quiet a while.
Replacing the cables is just as important, if not more important than replacing the bow string. When you draw the bow and it hits the let off point the weight which you no longer feel is transferred to the cables. Cables are made of the same material as the bow string and so they break down just like the bow string. When a bow is at full draw the cable has the maximum amount of weight put on it. If the cable fails, believe me it?s not pretty..."
