archer58, WC does make nice strings, no doubt about it. they have to do more pre-stretching than i do because they're using 8125, or were last i heard. my base material is 452x, because i like it better, even though its more expensive.

coug, i don't know. if they used 20 strands of 8125 on your string i could match it w/ 452x, or beat it w/ 18 strands of 8125. if they used 18 strands of 8125, i don't think i could beat it w/ 452x - but it wouldn't be far off. there is not enough speed difference in my opinion to warrant the use of 8125 on anything but an older model bow. however, i'm mental over other things in target archery besides speed - and if you're mental over speed and can't shake that - then an 8125 string is the way to go - 18 strands if you're not pulling over 70# - and still no reason not to use 452x
