Who puts different strings on a new bow?

[jm1607]

Just curious if anyone upgrades/swaps strings as soon as they buy a new bow before the shop tunes it?

I like to shoot the factory strings for a few hundred arrows to get them settled into the bow then I'll replace with a custom string set. This way I'll have a ready to go backup set.

This.

It depends. Some bow companies use quality strings from the start. Bowtech makes their own, and they've always been as good as any aftermarket strings I've gotten.

I do the same.

I do. Hogwire all the way.

I decided to shoot in the string/cables on my Hoyt from last year, but found that the stock cabling was really good (no creep or peep turn and good servings), so I left it on.

I usually switch them out pretty quick.

Switch out before I shoot the bow. Stocks then go to a backup/ emergency set

As many have mentioned all ready, I'll tune the bow to the stock strings and cables then replace with custom. I go ahead and tune the bow with originals and install a peep and loop with tied in nock point. That way if I ever need to put them on while away from my "home shop" they will be pretty close.

First thing I do... I prefer a string that I know for a fact will perform perfectly, not stretch and remain the same from the first shot on...
