Default Shooters Edge Custom bowstrings

Looking at a set on e-bay for my Outback. Anyone using these strings. How do they compare to Winners Choice. Thanks, Don

Their biggest attribute is "pre stretched" strings. Yet most, if not all the shooters I have spoken with tell me they still stretch. Brownell's string material is, in my opinion, the cadillac of string materials. The BYC 450 plus, my favorite, sells for $37.99 for a 1/4 lb. spool. The 452 and 452 in colors sells form $44.99 and $47.99. This is enough string material to manufacter over 100 superior strings at a cost of less then $6.00 per unit. If a string makes you a better shooter it's worth the price, but when the guy next to you is shooting a string he purchased for $15.00 and smokes your butt, you just pissed away $85.00 to loose to your competition. Many products improve an average shooter to better than average. This is not one of them.

Sniper151, I have to disagree somewhat. There are a lot of people that can smoke me, but I'll have a better chance with a string that doesn't stretch, and keeps my draw length right and my cam in time. I have shot Zebra strings and Winners Choice and believe me "there is a BIG difference". I have shot a Bowtech Mighty Mite with Winners Choice strings about 4,000 shots with ZERO stretch. I checked brace and ATA when I got the bow and it's still exactly the same. I bought a LX and after 200 shots, it stretched 1/2". Twisted up and it stretched another 1/2" in 300 shots. Put a Winners Choice on and no more stretch. If you can stand your string to continually stretch then it doesn't matter which string you shoot. Don
