Last arrow:  Never had any break in the loop. As I reported earlier never had any strings break at all.  However, that's a good place for dirt and grit to begin working on the string.  Particularly the bottom loop. Also, sometimes the string grooves on some bows are a little rough and can begin to eat away at the string.  Either of these, I suspect, would lead to the string breaking at the lower/affected nock if not addressed.  That's why I change strings if I see a few strands cut/frayed in the nock loop(s).

I have been shooting for 45  years+ and have never broken a string. If I see I have some defect or severe wear on one I will change it out, but normally I will have the same string on a bow for 4 or 5 years.

In 20 years of bow hunting I have never broke a string sticks or wheels. I should never have opended this thread, knock on wood I hope it does not happen.
