Gas System-X Strings?

[BrockWinegar]

Replacing strings and cables on my Mathews Lift-XD and am leaning towards Gas System-X strings but have heard mixed reviews on if they truly add 3-5 fps or not. Anyone have first hand experience with them and measured a difference? If so at what at what specs? Heard they help out longer draw/heavier weight guys more. I’m shooting 32.5” DL, 75LB, 80%.

Thanks

I put a set on one of my RX-9's last year and I actually lost 3fps over the stock strings on the bow. 28" 73ish lbs shooting a 483gr arow. I put a set of Freakshow on my other RX-9 same specs shooting a 430gr arrow and gained 3 fps. I was not overly impressed with the System-X and will stick with the Freakshow moving forward.

Good to know. How does the durability seem?

Durability seemed fine. No issues backpack hunting elk in Colorado most of September. Ended up shooting a bull the second to last day of season. I tend to baby my bow and had it in my hand the whole season, never had it on my pack.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences. I haven’t yet checked the FPS claims as I really don’t care. What I like about them is the stability. I’ve used four sets now and only one experienced any peep twist and none had need for a retune after a bunch of shots. And the one that turned was very minimal. If I am getting more speed, I wouldn’t know. I’m getting 295-ish so it just wouldn’t make all that much difference.

I gained less than 1 fps with system x strings compared to a different model of gas strings I was using.

Without a doubt the most durable gas string set I've used. If memory serves, I gained 3 fps at 63 pounds 28.5 DL
