On buying strings, if you buy a spare string and after your first string is broken in and not creeping so much you can take it off and break in the second one .Then if you need to change while hunting for some reason it will be sighted in.

Strings is something I want to stock up on. I like the flemish style the best. Keep them all broke in and always ready to go!!

Ummm, currently have 8 "spare" flemish strings on the hook, some from Vixenmaster, some from xcaliber, both are great string makers, easy to work with, reasonable prices, even have a couple factory strings. Sometimes just like to swap colored string's to match my mood :mrgreen:

Keep an eye on your serving, and if you notice any wear at all, just flip your string to rotate the serving.

Since I make and resere my own, I watch for serving wear, esp flattening from riding the rail (my latches are polished, so generally don't abrade the serving).
2-3 reserves and I cycle the string out. Got to admit that happens less frequently since I started using Angel Majesty serving material.

Testing the newest matrix version out for xcalibur right now and its very promising! I have roughly 70 shots through it and it looks new. Very little creep over the course of 3-4 days of sitting and shooting those shots I have only needed 3.5 turns to get it to and keep it at brace height. The string is still settling a little. The serving looks great. I would say that is has made a noticeble difference in noise from the bow, definitely quieter even though the deer wolnt really care. I would not hesitate to purchase strings from him!
