I like to setup bow by eye and shoot the heck out of the new string for a couple daysand then toss it.Install the new strings and fine tune it.Winners is a good Choice.

I have a new Whisper Creek Innovator Pro waiting on a set of Rock Solid Strings/cables to arrive before I set it up.

I am just shooting what is on my fred bear instinct, i though it had tech twist strings on it, but the guy at the shop said it was winners choice, either way they are good strings, and i will have custom ones made once they need to be replaced.

Nope, I haven't. I've tried, the only reason that I didn't is because the strings weren't ready...

I'm not a fan of Zebra strings, just my opinion though.

I will most times, order a new set when I order a bow. When I ordered my Shark X I ordered a set of Nathan Brooks strings. (B2 Bowstrings) which are solid by the way. I've had stock Fuse ('07's and they were TERRIBLE), stock PSE strings are bad too, Winners Choice makes a great product. I think XCoat is great. I'll be sticking with the Nathan Brooks strings for a bit, he's a great guy and makes a good product.
