    VaporTrail for me. Comes fast, accurate (to spec) and at a great price.

    I've abused every set I've had and the only one I've thought about replacing is the one on my faithful 2010 SWAT, it's been more than abused.

    I buy custom sets from a guy on the Elite Archery forum. Nice set of threads.

    I have narrowed my choices down to Vapor Trail, Winner's Choice and Pro Line.

    I got a vapor trail on my '99 browning sierra. Great string.

    I'm running Korbin Strings on my bow, about time for a new one; I think I'll order another.

    I had one before from a builder somewhere in Indiana or Iowa (can't remember) but it was a good string too.


    Years ago, I would build my own at the shop (back then they were Dacron)

    I use first string. It helps that they are local and can build a set and I can have them the next afternoon.
    however, I was extremely pleased with them, looked great, held up well, great quality.

    I think the bone collector guys use them as well, but not for certain.

    Is there any quality or performance difference? Or just colors and service and cost

    There are certainly some better than others. The stinkers tend to get called out, and not last too long.

    There are a lot of really good string builders out there. The fella that I use makes a good string. That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to install one from another reputable builder. I like to support a local small businessman, especially when I get a good product for a good price. :D
