bigbull, You really made this old guys day. Your comment really makes me feel great against my competition. In particular, the three fellow archers in my class that recently payed $100 each on Winners Choice strings looking for that extra edge. But to their dismay I still consistently beat them with my stock Hoyt strings and cables. I set my Pro Tec up in 2003 right out of the box. Shot a 60 arrow set indoors, mounted the hardware and Accu Peep and nothing has changed or been altered since. I can't wait until the Atlantic City Archery Classic to compare scores. Oh! and by the way, check the NO STRETCH deal out thoroughly. Then check a stock manufacturer's string of the same material. I think your in for a big surprise. Anything that give a shooter confidence is an asset. Maybe I should switch! Thanks again, and hope to hear from you soon.
