RE: Aftermarket strings
I agree, the stock strings from Bowtech are arguably the best out there. I hada set on my 05 Allegiance for almost 2 years and they did not stretch at all once they broke in, which is usually 50 - 100 shots I guess. I just bought an 07 Allegiance and will shoot the life out of those strings before going to an aftermarket set. Even then, I may end up getting my strings straight from Bowtech.
