OK guys, I have taken your advice. I called Allen at Lefties R Us and ordered a new one. Money never was the issue, but rather I hate having to change the string at this time. As I previously stated, the bow is well tuned and shooting good as is, and I have a just a few more weeks of hunting time before I can hang it up for a while. My right shoulder needs the rest.
Allen recently made me a string for another bow and it appears to be of excellent craftsmanship. I loved the color of the string with the busted strand, but the guy who made it is seriously backed logged. I think Allen will be my "go to" guy in the future.

You made a good Choice. My guess is, if you measure everything right now on the old string and you get a new string with the same materials.... You will be shooting right where you left off.

I made a new string for a bow one time, served it, tied on nocking points, twisted it up to the right brace height, and finally put on string silencers. It was shooting right where I wanted it. I noticed that there were some frayed ends sticking out of the string silencers, which isn't unusual. Just grab my ol' scissors and trim them off. I cut right into the string while trimming the string silencers, and cut a strand! Oh well....

There is a reason the proverb "Penny wise and pound foolish" is a proverb....

I was in the turkey blind one morning, when it got light enough I noticed one string broken, I figured good enough for one draw on a tom, did not have and extra string with me, replaced the string that afternoon and now carry an extra string. Good to have a broken in string and blunt to shoot a few time if your able.

Outrigger order a couple string so when it happens again you'll be ready. Heck get some B50 and practice making your own, when you get good order some d-10, d97 or 8125, it's a bit expensive to practice with.
