THanks a lot....I will send him a PM and see what he can do for me. I was really leaning toward the VT's from the start but I figured I would at least look into every option.

If that last comment was directed at my reply, let me make it a bit more clearer: You'd be STUPID to drive six hours to pick up a pair of strings from Mike, no matter how well he builds them. Now... I fully concur with shooting Dan (MeanV) a PM; he'll treat you right, and it'd be hard to get a nicer set of strings than VT's -- especially for the price.

Thanks guys....so you were thinking the 452x would be the best way to go? I had been looking at the VTX a lot lately.

I have the VTX right now and think that they are great. MeanV2 feels the same way. However, I am going to try the 452x just because. Still from Vapor Trail of course.

Yeah you changed your arrow -- he didn't thats the difference. I am in no way claiming he is the best but he is definately one of the best. Man get the chips off your shoulders people
Bud, I don't mean to come off as rude, but just a few weeks ago, you pm me wanting to know how to broadhead tune but now you want to give advise on if a guy should change out a string/cables. You didn't know what broadhead planing was, but now you know carter is the best in the business. I think you need to get this chip off.

I mean your over here advising people to change out strings when you have never done it, just read about it???

One more thing that makes a quality string is the direction of the serving,which imo,is where the mass producers for bow companies blow it big time.One end will be 1 direction and the other end will be the opposite,when both ends should be the same direction as the twist.
You know I never knew that. I probably should since I do this with an endless loop trad string.

Do you think this is the cause forserving separation issue? What issues with winding opposite cause?

And man I got to ask, whats with the wild picture you have on your avatar?
