Why do you want to trash a perfectly good set of strings and cables without even shooting them? I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me. The factory rigging on my '03 Ultratec has been excellent. There was a little bit of creep after the initial shoot in period (the cables never got out of the performance marks), but nothing has moved since then. The Hoyt strings have been wearing like iron too. The servings remain tight with no separation visible anywhere. There are a lot of other Hoyt owners out there who will tell you the same thing about Hoyt's factory strings... Just my $.02....
