Question on string life

[bowslinger]

My wandering mind returned with a question niether it nor I could answer.  Is it possible to "shoot out" or "wear out" a string but not have it fail?  Will all strings either stretch excessively or break eventually, or can a string lose strength without stretching or failing catastrophically (e.g. loss of elasticity)?

If I read the question correctly, the answer is "no".

I find that my servings wear to thin long before the strings would ever wear out, but I do have my nocks perhaps fit a little to tight, and I have been filing my nocks out a bit at a time to try and solve that problem.
