How Good Are The Strings On Diamond / Bowtech?

[im ocd]

How good are the strings on the 08/09 Diamond / Bowtech bows? Any issues?

I can say with confidence that I feel they are the best factory strings provided with any bow on the market and will rival and custom made string/cable out there.

Bowtech's in house string making operation is extremely impressive.

Couldntagree more. The only probs i EVER had with my 2 bt's was the serving on the cables coming thru the rollers. That was after about 5k shots or so, so that is very acceptable imho.

They do a good job for making them in house

In all the Bows I have worked on through the years. I can honestly say that the OEM strings on BowTechs are as good as it gets.

I want a spare set of strings around so many times I buy a set of VaporTrails and pick my color, I have them in just a few days, and thenI stillhave a great set of strings for backup.

That could beinvaluable when you are 100 miles from any kind of Archery shop

I've never had issue with any of the BT strings over the years-even the "cheap" black non-twist ones during the 99/2000 model year on my first Extreme Solo didn't creep alot , though my peep did twist a a wee bit. Still it was FAR better than the stock strings on my Hoyt, Jennings, Mathews, Darton & PSE bows I owned at the time.

Of course then came Winner's Choice, and then the VT/Stone Mountains, and then the "in-house" strings. Singles, Force Mutipliers, Duals and now Binaries- I have never felt the need to upgrade the string on any of my BTs (and I've owned a bunch). They lock up pretty quick.

I remember when the switching from Winner's Choice was a big drama on here and AT. People were predicting the Apocalyptic End of BowTech.

yeah right.

I wonder how many of those drama-queens in retrospect would admit it's been a good thing- The strings since then (whether SM/VT/In House) have been extremely high quality with one HUGE benefit- MUCH less noise than WC (which always bugged the crap out of me). WC always makes a bow sound like you've got a 20 pound carp by the tail and slamming it into a tree trunk.

My opinion from another thread

Going back to that Winner's Choice issue is really showing your "age" Jeff. I would be willing to bet that most folks have forgotten about it.

I have never had any issues with the stock Bowtech strings either. A day or two ago I looked at the timing marks on my '08 General and they were still spot-on after several thousands of shots. That is pretty impressive because it was not all that long ago that you could almost watch a string stretch on some bows...right in front of your eyes....

...Ok, maybe not, but it seemed that way at times.

Yeah yeah.. I know it was quite some time ago- but people pissed and moaned about it like a bunch of toddlers
