I tried britestrings on my son's bow last year and we have not seen any stretch in the cables or string.  His is located near 176 and Pacific Ave in Tacoma.

Twisted X bowstrings in BCY mercury are hard to beat.

How do Denton’s strings compare to 60x? I talked with him today and he makes his own I didn’t know that. I just don’t want any stretch. My bow is a 2014 and I haven’t changed the strings. Hoyt carbon spyder 30. I want to put a new rest on as well at the same time as strings. Thinking QAD Ultra?

QAD has never let me down. If you don't want stretch you need to make sure to select the right material. Guys will argue about it but BCY Mercury being sk99 dyneema material is about as stable as it gets. Plus the colors are awesome*. very vibrant. With any string replacement you will need to shoot the strings in so the serving can work its way into the rollers/cam grooves and settle out, but the re-tune should be a minor adjustment.

Ok roger that. Denton says he uses the 452x? Not sure how that compares to the BCYX. I’ve read about them both but don’t have actual experience with them

452 is/has been the standard in bowstrings for a long, long time. It is what most stock strings that come on bows use. It can be a good material when handled properly. Every stock string I have ever tried to use has had issues with stretch/peep rotation. Since going away from stock strings and 452x I haven't had these issues.

I just bought some strings from GAS bowstrings and they are top notch! 2 days to make, NO peep rotation, great people to deal with.

I've currently got Brownell Fury strings, made by Hogwire, and I love them. They've held up to miles of crawling after antelope, thick brush for mule deer/elk and countless 3-D shoots over the past few seasons and haven't budged one bit. I think Hogwire also uses BCY-X and Mercury, and all of those are good strings too. The guy is out of Florida but ships anywhere and does the best work I've seen.
