Default ok...gonna get some strings. need some opinions/help

ok, so the length I have that I need for my Matthews Switchback XT at 29" are 87 3/4" and 33 1/2". Now, would you guys get Vapor Trail, or Winners Choice? I would love to get a set of gibblets, but I just need them too soon.

Winners Choice, I have heard they are good strings, but if you wanted gibblets strings couldn't you order it then have him ship it express?

Yeah, but when I asked him what the turnaround was he said at least 3 weeks.

Im sorry but I don't know what you mean buy turnaround. Is that for him to make the string, or is that shipping. BecauseI thought express would be like over night?

thats for him to make the string...shipping is quick. think he mailed mine monday and i recieved them today.

definently good strings. my factory serving didnt look as good as his does...that says alot right there

i would find a company that makes strings from 452x. think VT uses it(could always email or call them)...winners choice it looks like you have to specify but they will do it. i put about 100 shots on my string today and havent had to touch nothin. no peep rotation..nothing. i think i might be in love both are major companies in the string game. i just know 452x is stable. no twisting on the string or cables after a couple hundred shots or anything like that... if i had a press i might have went with 8125 just for speed and twisted on it when it neeed it...

Oh, ok. I didn't know it takes that long to make a string butI guess when I try to see how much it would take I realize it now.

Yeah I figured that might be why too. How long does it actually take to make one string if you were only making that one?
