What string is the best
- Thread starter nebo
- Start date
LAST EDITED ON Dec-06-09 AT 01:13PM (MST)[p]If you want minimal stretching I would go with 452x material. A couple of good custom string makers out there are Proline and H and M. A set will cost you about $45 from H and M and I think Proline is having a sell for $50 tyd. You can't go wrong with either.
Posted this in the Review forum - my last two bows have sported Bucknasty custom strings ([email protected]) and I am sold on them - a great string for a great price. However, Winner's Choice and Vapor strings also have a faithful following. I'd avoid Zebra if at all possible.

I have had issues with winners choice that caused me problems on a hunt so never again. I would also look at vapor trial.

What problem did you have with Winner's Choice? I have had several without problems and I was about to buy another.
Yes World Best String's is suppose to be a very good custom built string. I got the name from another site and people say they are the best custom string out there. I just talked to the guy tonight and he will be making my soon. Great reviews on this string. I just wanted to see if anyone here has tried one or not. I'm surprised knowone here has used one. All other sites I visited have had people that have used and all will never use another string but his.

Bucknasty is also very good and hard to beat. They make a good product also.

Well For one I don't think they hold up as well as others strings mentioned and In 2007 I had one on my protec and in 3 months I tuned in twice before my hunts and when the hunt came My bow again started shooting terrible and the WC string had streched again so much that my came was at least a 1/4" out of time again. after that trip I bought a new H & M mid season and that string is still on my bow and I have yet to add one twist in it since. and the best part the H&M cost $40 for a set and we all know what WC cost

The key is to find a quality string maker who uses quality materials. Many of the custom makers use the same materials, so to say one is better than the other really doesn't make a whole lot of sense if the string is well constructed - which is a given with most custom makers. I think some strings are way over priced for what you get - I try to find strings that have great materials, great construction, and are reasonably priced. Many of the strings mentioned above fit that bill, but I can't say that all listed above do.

I second the recommendation for Bucknasty. He makes a great string!
