I make all my own strings and feel mine are of the highest quality and provide outstanding performance.

That said, I believe that the strings to which you are refering are the ones made by Eric Griggs, who is an accomplished professional archer and greta all around guy. I am sure his strings are outstanding quality.

Change String to a new type of Premium Material ( ie: BCY Vectron 450 Premium) with a no-stretch capability. Be sure to check with bow manufacturer or The BowMan first. Some bows were not built to handle this stuff. (Gain 5 to 15 fps )
This can be found @ http://www.thebowman.com/tbspeed.html
I have a Buckmasters G2, Would this come with a string made of this material or somthing similar? If not could my bow handle it? My string is showing some wear and I probobly should get a new one soon.

GAS is Griggs Archery Strings, it is Eric Griggs. I have know Eric for several years and he is one of the most helpfull and knowledgable guys around when it comes to shooting, tuning, playing with bows. Some of the top shooters around are using his strings, such as Nathan Brooks. Eric taught me to make strings and if he makes it for you it WILL be high quality.

Chance is also usin Eric's strings. If they are good enough for the 2 time defending Vegas champion, they are good enough for anyone. Eric's strings are top notch.

Plus, as was already said, Eric is a great guy.

I shot GAS bowstrings this year, they are an awesome string. It was a pleasure to order the strings, I talked to Eric himself and he made suggestions on string materials based on what I would be using the bow for mostly. I had the string in a week, I couldn't be more pleased. You won't be disappointed.
