Is a new sting something you get to upgrade your bow, or is it more of a thing you do when your current string frays or wears down? I see a lot of people have aftermarket strings and I was thinking about getting one, but I really didnt know any advantages. I have heard that an aftermarket string will hold a tubless peep much better but that is about it.
Highly depends on your application. I don't know of any bow sold today with B500 string. Some have a 8125 which is like winners choice, and if prestreatched will not rotate your peep. 450+ will not stretch.
There are disadvantages and advantages to all your choices. From 450+ to 452X to 8125, to fastflight, or D97, TS1. Some like to have thier cables out of 8125 and thier string out of 452X because strand size.
But most likely, most new bows has one of these already on it. I still buy winners choice or vapor trail.
On traditional bows, string material is useful for helping to tune your bow for an arrow.
