What are your thoughts?

I am needing to get a new string soon and the guy at the archery shop said Winners Choice is the best. If you have a winners choice string, or if you shot one before, what did you like or dislike about them? All information is very helpful! Thanks guys!

RE: What are your thoughts?

I have a bow that is wearing Winner's Choice and I wouldn't say they they are the best. They are very good and very expensive. Unlike some people I base my opinion on the fact that I have tried a few others for comparison and really have no brand loyalty. Nobody can say what is BEST unless they've tried them all and that's is totally impossible.

I have used H&M, Prostrings, and Bucknasty and any of these are the equal of Winner's Choice in my opinion. I think Bucknasty strings might have a slight edge, but it's really hard to differenciate between any of them as for quality of workmanship. MeanV on here deals Vapor Trail, which have a faithful following.

That being said, you have a shop that apparently deals with Winner's Choice. Is getting another brand going to jeopardize a relationship? If no then compare prices and pick one. You really can't go wrong with any of them.

And the few I have mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

Have to agree with everything said here. Winner's Choice makes a good string, but I think they are over priced. I currently shoot M&R strings and have shot Bucknasty strings in the past and would say both are just as good (if not better) than Winner's Choice and both cost a fraction of Winner's Choice.

I've used a lot of the Top name strings including VaporTrail, WC, and BuckNasty. They are all good strings, but availability and price considered I now use VaporTrails on any custom string I need.

My price on the VaporTrails is very competetive!;)

You'll be ok with a set of bucknasty or Mike Priester's strings at H & M. Wolfden also makes very good strings at a reasonable cost. I've them on my last 2 hunting bows, and they were great.

Get with Dan (meanv2). His prices for VT are a fraction of that lol! I have no experience with winners choice on my own bows so i wont say they are bad, but they are pretty pricey;)

I have to say I am really pleased with my Vapor Trail so far. I have no experience with Winners Choice.

To tell you my personal opinion I would stay as far away from Zebra as you can get. As for the shop guy making them? Thatr is always an option and he may make some pretty good strings. You could ask him for referneces and get opinions from those who use them, but make sure they are not your average bowhunter, but guys who are into target and/or 3D as they usually have a better idea of what "good" means. If you get favorable reviews and his price is right then maybe give him a try. There are a lot of people making strings that don't do so commercially but still put out a good product. If yuou have him make you a set and they prove to work well then it saves you the hassle of looking around.

This is a gross understatement. Dan's price and VT's quality, that's a "winner's" choice.;)
