    After this deer season concludes, it is going to be time for a string change. I believe my 2014 Hoyt Carbon Spyder came with a BCYX material string which appears to be Winners Choice? IDK.

    Looking for input on which string to get please...which is better and why.

    Thanks

    I have been very happy with Bow String Depot. Great group of folks, they make very nice string sets, plus as a forum member you get a discount.

    This. I plan on getting a set later. He's super nice and can even make a sample for you so you can see exactly what your string will look like. Tell me what big name company will do that.

    I think your confusing string material with a string maker.........There are lots of good string makers that will build a set for you with X.

    Anyway I have no experience with First String, I have had more then a few from winners choice without any issue at all...good strings for the most part.

    60X builds a decent string as well, as does Tom Park and Brethren, I have also herd lots of good things about Hutch ( Bow string depot).

    Had both your asking about. Bowstring Depot is the way to go imo. Built much better.

    You can't go wrong with either of your initial options. However, builders like 60X offer custom materials, more attention to detail, and better customer service and advice.

    both companies make quality strings. Your bow would have bcy built by Fuse which is a hoyt company. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and I'll be happy to help.
