I bought my Bear Lights Out in January and have been thinking about getting new strings on it after season. What should I look for in a "good" string? How will performance differ from a quality string versus cheap stock strings/cables?

Really I just want to use a tubeless peep because I have this fear of it breaking right at the worst possible time but for this season I'll just have to deal with it I guess.

I've been posting a lot since this is my first bow season and I really can't thank ya'll enough for everyones help and answering all my newbie questions.

the main thing about a good quality string is the fact that it wont stretch over time. cheaper ones will stretch over time and can mess up your anchor points and other things.

A good string will take a few shots to stretch/creep, but USUALLY once its done, its done...

Once you have your peep set after the break in, you are usually g2g for a good while...

Thats really the advantage over less quality strings. Less stretch over time like MO up there said

More stable strings also mean better consistancy from shot to shot as well.Most "hunters" won't see this advantage,that is usually noticed by the guys shooting comp at extreme distances.

I believe they make a ton of difference. Last year I went from a stock string set-up to a set of buchnasty string and everything improved, speed, consistantsey, it was quiter. It made all the difference in the world. And for the price it's the cheapest form of improving your shot.
