    I order all my strings from Wes at ProString Archery http://www.prostring.com

    You can order online or call him and he will answer all your questions. He has a very fast turnaround (generally less than a week), but might be a little longer this time of year due to a lot of people waiting until the last minute to get their equipment ready.

    I used to shoot BCY, but my last set was Browning's Astro Flight and can say this is the first material I've had with absolutely zero stretch/peep rotation

    Not at all to hijack, but are colors the only added benefit of custom strings? Or is there some accuracy or longevity benefits as well?

    Crick. VaporTrails always been real good for me. I've bought 8 sets from them and they've always come in right on and hold up. The price and service is awesome as well.

    Got lots of colors too. http://www.vaportrailarchery.com
