    I should have my Matthews No Cam in the next week or two and will be getting a new string. Not sure who I am going to use yet and how I am going to have the color combo put together exactly yet. I know a few people that do it but not sure who to use yet.

    I buy couple sets most years.

    Here are a few guys you can't go wrong with

    Park and Sons ...ex wolverine on AT
    Breathen....Johns custom archery
    60x....
    Tony219er on AT

    Although I haven't bought a set from Hutch ( bow string depot ) I haven't heard a bad word about him or his service. A buddy of mine that knows his stuff said he had set built and they were nice.

    Bow String Depot (Hutch) builds mine. I seem to always go with red but for my 360 I am mixing it up and going blue this time haha.

    Just bought 60x custom strings.

    Buckskin on tan with OD green servings going onto a Mathews Helim. They haven't arrived so no review yet. But slightly disappointed that pin stripping and some other options aren't available for single cams

    That is who built my strings, and I think it is a 2 year warranty. Plus he lives 20 minutes from me.

    Hutch at bowstringdepot.com has awesome strings and service.

    Custom trophy strings are the best way to go.

    I always replace my strings with customs. Factory strings usually suck. A lot of string makers put out a good product and I usually just get whatever's on sale with good reviews. But I've had good luck with hutch's strings. Great service and a great product. I've also used core archery which make a very nice set.

    I'm looking into a set of strings too. Probably from Hutch. Is the Halo serving worth the extra $10?

    If you have a problem with serving separation Halo helps a lot and most of the time stops it.

    I just had a set of Winners Choice strings put on my Hoyt. A bit pricey, but you generally get what you pay for.

    I had a black/blue set custom made by a shop around here for my Switchback. My z7 is due, and I'll probably go back to him for a black/red.

    I badly want an Elite E32 in black, with a black/lime green string.
