Is that the stock bear string that came on the bow?
if so, learn how to shoot with it but dont tune it just yet. When you are ready, go on ebay and look up a dude named “stilldub”. If that is a newer model kodiak which it looks to be, order you a new d-97 string.
he has a ton of options and is very reasonable on price. Great strings! Keep the stock string as a backup.
Beaver fur, rabbit fur, wool yarn, cat whiskers, all do a great job at dampening vibration. There are a ton of videos on youtube on how to install. I personally make my own wool puffs. Cheap and easy. Very satisfactory.
great bow! Keep slingin

Your string is fine. Just apply a little string wax and rub it in, laying those tag ends down. If the construction of the Flemish Twist string bothers you change to an endless loop style string.

With an endless loop string the ends of the string and string loops are served. I think they are a little more durable , that is just my experience.

You don’t need to buy a bow. A 40 pound bow drawn to 30.5 inches is almost 47 pounds. You gain draw weight of roughly 2.5 pounds for every inch you draw past 28 inches.

When purchasing a new string just make sure you purchase the correct string material, as your limb tips may or may not be reinforced. If they are not reinforced you will have to purchase a Dacron string.
