RE: winner choice strings
I am on my 3rd Winners choice string. I had a mathews sq2 that I put one on and it worked flawlessly. I sold that bow, bought and outback, tried to stay with the Zebra and it would not quit moving, so I bought a WC and again it worked perfectly. Each string needed 20-30 shots to settle. I sold that bow and bought a Switchback XT, I immediatley replaced the factory string with the WC string and cable. This is the only one I have had a bit of a problem with. This string seemed like it would not settle. For those of you who have purchased them, you probably remember that they are shipped with a paper clip holding them to keep the string twisted where it was supposed to be. This particular string had the clip and appeared to be ok.
I had to twist the string and cable both, multiple times to get the bow back to spec. In fact, I twisted the cable to the point that I wasnt sure I should twist it any more. After more that 300 shots It settled in, And It has not moved for over a year with regular shooting.
While I am not trading this bow in yet, I am probably going to replace the string before the 2009 hunting season, just for preventative reasons. I am not sure that I will go with another winners choice, It is two good to one less that good. However, if I dont go with winners choice, I am not sure which custom string to go with. Vapor Trail, Americas Best, I have even had the guy that owns the local pro shop suggest that I go with a bowtech factroy string made to fit the XT, since I have been using WC I really havent kept myself up to speed on the other brand out there.
Anyhow, just my experiances with WC strings. I have mixed feelings my self, so it is hard for me to make adefinite reccomendation. But I am open to anyone's advice.
