Yes shoot the string in before installing the peep and tuning.

Most custom strings will only need around 50 to 100 shots to settle the string in.

Tre.

I have the Commander as my 3d bow and even tho I had John make me a new string and cables I am still using the factory string and cable.

For factory strings IMHO Bowtech has the best out there.
