Rangeball,

I got a string from Prostrings a few months ago, made of 18 strands of 8125. After about a hundred shots it stretched about 1/8" or less. I needed four twists in the string to tweak my drawlength. It has been fine ever since. Best explaination I can come up with is to ditch the thing, especially if it's a factory string, and get one from Shel at Prostrings.

It's not always the material that it's made of but the quality of the workmanship in making them. We hardly ever know who makes strings for the manufacturers unless they tell us. Few people ever give strings a thought but they are very important. It's probable that your string was not pre-stretched so the strands have to stretch out tothe length of the longest one in the group. That's why I am learning to replace factroy strings as soon as I get the bow. I almost hate to plug products unless I have experience with them. From what I have seen I'd have to recommend Prostrings. Another thing is that they don't cost much more than a factory replacement model.
