Default RE: Mathews string question.

I would just take it with the regular string. They are fine. I have used them for years, and never had a problem, largely shooting 70#/30". Perpetual creep has not been a problem for me, and some of my bowstrings are years old.

A better strategy is to set-up your bow, and take all the measurements, ATA is critical here, mark cam rotation, and every other thing you can measure to keep your bow close, and get it back there quick, should you drop it or whatever. Keep an eye on your bow. That way you will know if you have a real problem, or are just suffering marketing creep. You should do this kind of thing regardless of what brand of string you have. It is just basic shooting sense.

I just measured my Feathermax. I have had it 5-6 years, since they first came out. I use it lightly, as my main hunting bow, and occasional 3D bow, and of course shooting targets. I have a 3D bow etc..., so this one I don't shoot massively. It still has it's original string, and the axle to axle measurement is dead on 36" just as original. If this bow had been shot thousands of shot a month, the string would be long gone, but the idea that the string needs replacing out of the box is nonsense. I bet I shoot this bow as much as most shooter, no problem.
