How to Install Parker Bow Strings

The string on your Parker bow will wear out over time and need to be replaced. When a new string needs to be installed depends on the amount of shooting you do. Parker recommends a new string once a year for moderate to heavy use while a bow that is only used a few times a year can go for two years without a new string.
