Winners choice isn't what it was. 60x has sent me some great threads and a good price. Have tried vapor trail yet heard both good and bad.

Any decent archery shop, will make you one and a set of cables. No need to buy something off the shelf or out of a catalog.

Have had good luck with ABB. Zero break in required
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Brite strings if you want to support local. I have great luck with vapor trail strings as well.

RIVERSIDE Archery makes thier on site. I have a set on my switchback that is tri colored. The guy that makes them is the President of Silver Arrow Bowman  and Gary takes good care of the club.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

He last set of winners choice I got was garbage... made incorrectly and they wanted me to pay shipping back for the bad set and then to me again for the replacement set. I went to Americas best after that but just got a set of 60x today. I'll be installing them this weekend and will report back with my thoughts.
The Abb have been great!

I put a Delta Force string on mine about 4 years ago and it's still in good shape; at least it was last fall when I last shot it. It increased the arrow speed too by about 20 fps.  Cost about $50.

It sounds like they moved their shop up into the Longview kelso area.

How much does a set of g strings run? I'm shooting a single cam bow.
