    Ok if you could pick one custom string maker who would it be. I currently run Stage1 strings and cables. But I'm way past time to change them but I haven't shot a lot since they were put on.

    I use nothing but Viscosity Strings on my Hoyt.

    If Brian is not able to do the job, my back up would be Hog Wire. He's done some great strings for my brother. I mean tight and clean !

    One thing I am not a fan of is a string that's been twisted so much, it looks like rope twisting. I feel ropey strings stretch faster.

    I have used Wes's strings from Stage 1 on a few bows...he'll get you extra speed that's for sure, but they're not the prettiest around. Last set I got from Mike at Catfish Custom Strings out of Holland MI and they are awesome. He does really nice clean sets and his end loops are perfect on mine.

    There's so many good ones it's unbelievable. If I were to purchase some from someone else, knowing everything I know, it'd be Hogwire or Twisted X probably.

    I build my own and sell some as a side job, purely custom and they've been great. I do it because I enjoy it mainly and it helps me afford more hunting time.

    Here's a few recent sets I've built for people

    Yeah I'd have to say America's Best Bowstring simply because they're strings are awesome. They last forever without waxing and the customer service is A+
