Contact Eric Griggs at www.gasbowstrings.com/ . Depending on the bow antwhere from $70 to 90 for a set of strings and cables. I prefer the 452x material. no creep, or peep rotation. 8125 is a good material too.

There are tons of good string makers. Get a few references and you can hardly go wrong. Brownell's TS-1 and their Ultracam have a very loyal following. Personally, I love the Ultracam. It has the highest percentage of vectran, which is the material used to resist stretch. When tied properly, this material simply does not move.

IM A WINNERS CHOICE GUY MY SELF. THERE ARE ALOT OF NEW STRING MANUFACTURERS OUT NOW. BUT BEWARE, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MAY NOT BE UP TO PAR. SO DIG DEEP INTO THESE NEW COMPANIES.

I just got a set from shooters edge. Will let you know what I thin when they arrive and I can shoot them a little. they are made out of 452x and cost $41 for a set. I heard about them on archery talk.

for $41 you can change every year and still be below the cost of some makers.
