I personally don't waste too much time in having my strings and cables replaced on a new bow either. I find Hoyt's strings to be aweful. I like to get a bow and begin putting a good tune in it ASAP. I don't want to have to keep fiddling with the strings and cables after every couple shooting sessions taking out creep. Yes, at 650 a bow, I expect more from a company like Hoyt who is one of the leaders in the bow industry and everyone is looking at them all the time.

Right now I have a set of Wolf Den strings on my bow and I am pretty impressed so far. No creep after the first 50 or so shots and the peep is consistant, much like Winners Choice I used to shoot.
