jmac_or,

Yep, they're nice bows, but I've got a question. How many shots have you got on that string? My experience was quite different and a few of my buddies who got one, ditched the string in short order. They were all 1/2 longer then specs, before the bow was even shot. In addition, peeps never stopped turning on any of the ones we have experience with. I also don't know about the pre-stretched part. I have a string jig that I can put 500 lbs of tension on a string. I put one in the jig and was able to stretch it a full 2" with no problem. I know Winner's choice was using 8125, but they put 700 lbs tension on their strings to remove the stretch. I've also heard that Winners Choice is going back to Ultra Cam.

Anyway, if your string is working as it should, then I'm sure you'll love the bow. Have fun with it.
