Default best bowstring

I am changing my limbs on my Mathews LX. What is your opinion on the best string to put on it?

There is a string maker on this site called Gibblet, does a very quality job, and I think you will find that as the general opinion here, Ive bought 2 sets from him and got another on order..
good luck

I agree. I've got a Gibblet string on my bow as does my brother in law. I'll soon order one for my wifes bow. She wants it to be pink. I'll have to ask if thats a color he has.

pink...nice...that is what my wife would have to have if she shot a bow (which I am going to try to get her to start doing).

Sure the pink stringsare for your wife. Not my color of choice, but i'm sure it looks good on you though.
I'm ordering a set from him tonight. I hear his stings are as good as any out there.

Gibblet shmibblet, I'd rather have a set of Bucknasty strings from that guy on archerytalk.
Bucknasty strings kill them quicker[8D].

But if he's booked up I guess a set of Gibblet strings would work too.....
