    Ready to order new strings for my bow. I have a Mission Ballistic with standard orange/black on it now. I started going thru color options from 60x and I'm completely overwhelmed. Any good advice how to pick? Or suggestions what might look good?
    My bow is Camo, not black limbs or anything. Thanks in advance for your help

    I definitely want to give a big shout out to 60x custom strings! They've been very patient with all my questions, and prompt with answers. I'm sure they're super busy, which makes it that much more impressive to me.
    Anyone thinking about new strings should check them out. The hardest part is DECIDING what color combination to order! Holy cow they've got some sweet looking combos

    It's a string, not a decision on pulling life support...they all throw arrows into deer (potentially). Personally lime green and burgundy is always a winner. :lol:

    It is a component on a tool, only matters in your mind, grip it and rip it quit over thinking it.

    Exactly what I have except my entire bow is black with blue accessories. I admit it, I'm all about the designer look, lol.

    One of the colors in the camo pattern with black serving looks good.

    Mustard yellow with same color in serving could be cool

    Ive done blood red a few times and a vine color green.

    Maybe pick up a color from your sight or rest to use as an accent.

    Lately Ive been matching the serving with the string color so it doesn't get to busy.

    Good luck and post some photos of the bow now.

    I like to personalize my bows and I normally like to select a string color that really pops and that will match any vibration dampening accessories that I will be adding to my bow. My Mathews is solid YELLOW with black serving, my PSE is fluorescent GREEN and fluorescent ORANGE with black serving, but my favorite is my Bear Motive 6 with solid fluorescent ORANGE with orange serving and it looks great because the bow is Black Shadow with orange graphics on the limbs. There is nothing wrong with adding a personal touch to your equipment so get creative and do what you want with it because it is yours.

    Isnt blue the key color to avoid as it is the color most easily seen by deer?

    Does this string make my butt look big?

    If you like subtle black/grey(silver) if you like loud black and flo yellow. On camo bows I always go black and silver.

    I usually decide on what is the most aggressive out of what I'm trying to decide between and choose that one, LOL. Usually I like anything that is bright and fluorescent. My Heli-m is all Flo-Green string/cables w/ Flo-Green Halo serving and black center serving and I just outfitted my No Cam with all Flo-Pink strings/cables w/ Flo-Pink Halo Serving and black center serving. I use Bow String Depot string sets and as usual the finished product is great!

    My next set of strings will be the brightest colors I can find, that way, when I leave/drop my bow on the ground I won't have to look so hard for it.

    I really like that green! I was considering that, but decided on the blue
