LOL. Question: are these strings self aligning, no creep, pre stretchedlike the fuse string that Hoyt puts on their bows and like the Bowtechs' use on their bows?I REFUSEto use a rubber band on my peep andI have always been told thatMathews strings require a rubber band for proper peep alignment. My Trykon and Tribute don't. Does anybody know?

HCH in my experience the mathews Barracuda strings are not all they are cracked up to be. I couldn't tell you the number of guys who came into the shop I work at with new switchback XT's and Switchbacks that asked how they could get their peep to come back the same every time. Now don't get me wrong they are not the wost strings but deffinitly have some string stretch issues.

Honestly the 06' XT's I didn't see hardly any creep problems with the strings and cables, they are light years better than the 05 and older strings they were using. I believe they are 452X (same material as Gibblet and WC strings) and if I remember correctly Gibblet verified this as well. Their servings on the other hand leave something to be desired. I think if they used BCY quality material for the servings they would be as good as any other factory strings out there.
