The biggest advantage I see in good aftermarket strings is that once they are shot in (100 shots) and the bow is tuned then the bow rarely changes tune till I replace the string. That, and no peep rotation so no tube is necessary.
Thanks! That answers a question I have been pondering since Sunday. I have two bows, identical except one is 60# and one is 70#. They also have different strings. The 70#, my current deer hunting bow, has new vaportrail strings I put on 2-3 weeks before the season. Shot it a bunch, got it tuned right and it has been shooting laser beams since. The 60# bow has the Manufacturer string still, and it is a good string but.... I get the 60 bow out last sunday and it is shooting right by a couple inches at 30, 40 yds. When I hung it up a few weeks ago it was shooting laser beams too. I couldn't figure how it got out of tune just hanging there but I was thinking the string stretched/changed and caused it to start shooting weak. That makes sense now after reading what you said.
