WellI decided its time for a new string this year. Im shooting a PSE Nova that I bought brand new about 5 years ago, and its still shooting the factory string. Im going to save the old string for a back up as its still in good condition. just had it reserved last year. Im wondering what kind of strings most of you recomend. I cant afford anything overly pricey, maybe 45-50.00 max so I looked into Barracuda Zebra Strings. Has anyone used these and how well do they hold up. I will be putting my kisser, peep and ultra noc back on the new string along with leeches.

My feelings about Barracuda strings can't be posted on a family web site. Check with Gibblet right here on HNI. Great strings at a reasonable price. Just shoot him a PM.

I'll go along with that. Gibblet makes great strings and about as reasonable as you'll get for the quality. Just a tad more than you suggest, but worth every penny. I too, am not overly fond of what I've seen from the Zebra's. Seems most that have them and know what they are talking about seem to say that they never quit creeping, which means poor constrtuction techniques. And way over priced for what you get.

yeah, for the price you're looking at i think you'll only get a zebra string - but i could be mistaken. for a little more i'll make the entire set. now, whoever you buy from - i'd say its way past time to get a new set - and remember just how that bow shoots. heck, if you've never had a quality set on that bow, you may be surprised just how well that bow does shoot.

The bow shoot good but I dont think its shooting as good as it can. Dont get me wrong my patterns are pretty tight but could be better. Im hoping a new string will help do the trick. I cant even begin to count how many arrows have been shot off that bow since I bought it. I know the pro shop im going to carrys different brands of strings so Ill have to see what they have. They have a good reputation and they havent tried to push anything off on me that I dont need or want. This will be my bows first time to another pro-shop other than the one I bought it at since the shop burned down. So Im a little nervous. It like taking your baby to a babysitter you have never met. Ive talked to girl that works there and she seems to be very very knowlegable and trustworthy. Is it normal to be nervous when going from one pro shop to another?

Gees, get a guy around a woman and his knees buckle. Believe me there's nothing to get nervous about. She won't bite.

Trying to save a buck on a new string would be the last place I would want to cut corners. Drink a cheaper beer for awhile. Skip haircuts for a few months. When it comes to tires and bowstrings, spend the money for quality stuff. I have personally had good luck with Winner's Choice strings.

I just had a Winners Choice put on my BowTech. I didn't realize that I had a lose broad head in my bow case and it done a number on my string. One thing about the Winners Choice strings is that they are NOT cheap.

I second that!!!!!
I can't thank Gib enough for bailing me out of some messes.

You can spend more money but you can't get better strings than the ones gibblet aka BuckNasty makes
