Good Strings?

[bowhuntn87]

Last night, my string came off of my bow. It looks like i will need to get a new one. I've never purchased just the string.What brands would everyone recommend??

Gibblet on this board makes great strings , vaportrail would be another manufacture Ive been happy with in the past . There are a few on my black list also

This company makes great strings at a good price... and has a great color selector for you to see what looks good together.

I love that color selector! Wish I had known about it when I started building strings and ordering string material. Thanks Greg!

Another vote for Vapor Trail.

I have one on my Trykon....which is pretty hard on strings. 6 months of continuous shooting and the peep has not moved one iota. Bow is still in perfect time. Far and away the best strings I have used to date.

Gibblet's are the best. If you contact him on here and give him your measurements he'll have em to you in a few weeks, maybe sooner. Last I heard he was busy and they were taking longer, but they are well worth the wait.

Go to www.archerytalk.com and do a search for Bucknasty Strings. Very reasonably price and excellent service and quality strings.

Not to highjack this thread but I was wondering what type of perfrormance i would get out of a new string? Would i feel/see an increase in my bows preformance if i got a replacement for my factory string??? And if so what type of gains will it give me?

Most all bows are different. I've gotten as much as 11 fps gain in speed using 8125 over UltraCam---on one bow. Another bow I have I gained nothing. The biggest advantage you get from after market strings is not always speed, but stability. The strings creep a lot less so the bow doesn't change near as much, if at all, once it is set up and tuned.

Then there is the advantage of being able to use a peep without a tube aligner, as good strings don't twist during the draw. This might give you a gain of 8 fps or so all by itself. And make the bow more quiet, too.

Simmshunter, Gibblet here on this sight is the same guy as Bucknasty on Archery Talk. And his strings compare very well to the Winner's Choice on one of my bows---at half the cost. In fact, his end servings were even better.
