Not many reviews on the material but everything i did read was positive. Even 60xCustomStrings gives positive reviews on the Fury and is now carrying it (https://www.60xcustomstrings.com/brownell-fury-bow-string-material-review/) I ordered them from Delta Force Bow Strings, they also sell on ebay. Customer service was great too i was able to speak with the owner to verify order received and had few questions able the string material. From the time i ordered, them making my custom color combo, and me receiving took only 7 days. Installed the string & cables on my press, shot it couple hundred times next few days, and then made slight adjustment to my peep.... Been shooting great! Best part is i paid $55 for strings & cables shipped. Customer service & product is great, so from now on i'm buying my strings from them. :tup:

Every new bow I get the strings and cables come off and Cory gets me setup. You wont be disappointed if you look him up. He is right across from longview in St Helens.

I'll be putting on a set of Side Hill bowstrings to replace my stock after this season is over!

Post by: brianb231 on October 13, 2016, 02:07:27 PM: Well. Here is my two cents.

Every time I buy a new bow whether is has been brand new or used I put a set of strings and cables on it. Its like buying a truck and putting a set of new tires on it. I have probably bought 4 bows this past year. The first 3 I put Winners choice, First Strings etc on the,. Each costing about $150 for the set after tax. Then I found Superior Bow Strings. $60 for a complete set and they are made of Fury material. Bought a new Xpedition Xcentric bow and had a set of these put on in custom colors. Love them. They are good quality. I wont spend $150 ever again for strings.

Just my 2 cents.

Brian

Post by: Sneaky on October 13, 2016, 06:57:26 PM: JBK fury strings on my Halon 7 and no issues, no having to re tune due to string stretch. End loops look perfect and bow is performing flawlessly.

One thing to keep in mind when getting a new string is using good wax to keep the string new. I recommend BCY ML-6 bowstring wax. You can get it from 60x custom strings free shipping - use promo code AT10 to get 10% off. I have tried many other types of wax and this by far does the best job keeping the string nice. Also remember do not wax the serving, only the exposed string.

Also Bowstring depot.

Best to go with something custom, rather than something mass produced in my opinion. Lots of the custom makers actually listen and learn to the feedback their customers give them on things like serving wear, feel, etc.

Not only that, but you can choose your own colors.

Good luck JR :tup:
