Also, after market strings can change a bow speed dramatically.
Ding ding ding...

Someone asked me a while back what some of my secrets for getting a bow to shoot over IBO or over a bowtechs BC are... a good aftermarket string can net you as much as an extra 12-15 fps. And thats how I have Gary's Ally shooting over BC with an arrow that is 34 grains heavier and at 65#s to boot.
correct me if Im wrong, but can't it work to the opposite effect as well? Don't 452x strings slow your bow down a few fps since they are heavier? That's what I have read, never have looked into it.

What are stock strings made of for most companies now?

That is sweet about gainin that much on the Bowtech.
Absolutely. Just about anything that will work one way will work the other as well. Archery equipment is almost 100% give and take... gain speed... take stealth and shootability..... gain forgiveness... give up speed.... add weight to string... gain stealth... give speed. Gotta find a happy balance.
