    Just put winner choice with custom colors on my 101st. They where $119.00 and they didn't charge to install them. If you get standard colors its about $30.00 cheaper. I like them so far, no peep twist and they look awesome. I'm still waiting too see if they stretch but my bow maxed around 74lbs when first installed.

        The speed is the same but the factory speed beads didn't get moved and they say that's about 5 ft/sec. I Have ordered some string grubs to try, they should be in next week. As far as penetration I have way too much energy. A yellow jacket supreme bag wont stop my arrows. That cost me $40.00 before I went to get them out only to find they went through and into a concrete wall behind the bag. I plan on getting a 400fps target soon until then I can double up the bags.

        As far as strings go I asked alot of guys around here what they have shot and what they like and the majority was winners choice. They come with a 1 year warranty and most guys said they got 2 to 2.5 good years out of them.

          I'll build you a set for $60 shipped. I have been in business for over 15 years. I use 452X and always prestretch at 350# for 24 hours. WC strings are contract built and are made of 8125 which is known for its creep. Whatever, you do just don't let your factory set get too bad. Wax about every other shooting session will increase the life of your strings too...

              This sounds like a good deal! I don't have these strings but do shoot custom strings made from 452X made by Bucknasty,the material and prestretched is the way to go.Price is great sounding also!

                  There are several other string makers out there, just shop around and see what you like and what's in your price range. I use H&M bowstrings, has good pricing and I have had no problems, plus Mike is a good guy to deal with. Like I said though, search it and compare before ya committ...sorta like when ya buy a bow

                    Buck Nasty strings are great. John's a great guy and they're priced good. I put a set on my Hoyt and noticed an immediate improvement over my "stock" strings.

                      You can read more about Robert's strings at http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=878402. I will probably try a set next time.

                          I put a set of H&M strings on this fall. I waited so close to hunting season to order them that the wait was long, but they are good strings at a GREAT price. My peep hasnt moved since the day I set it. I'll be using them more in the future!!

                            Most of those guys listed make great strings and are good friends. We share serving lengths and tech data. You cant go wrong with any of them. Mine have less than a week wait though. Most are booked up. Good luck with which ever brand you choose.
