As far as I know BT is now using Stone Mountain Strings. They make excellent strings also, and can handle the demands of high volume stringmaking while still producing a great product. They also pre-stretch their strings before building them. Parker bows is the ONLY bow company that warranties their strings, and they have Stone Mountain strings on them. That has to say something about the company. Who knows what the exact reason is, there have been little digs thrown back and forth for whatever reason between the two of them for awhile now. Whatever the case, BT still has excellent strings on their products, and Winners Choice will still be around, nothing to lose sleep over on either side IMHO. Pinwheel 12
