SBD's on Widow's for me. I get them from Tim at Braveheart. Order a stock 8 strand string and he'll have it in your hands in two days. Say what you want but Widows have an unacceptable "pop" with a stock string IMHO. The SBD string is the only thing I've found to tone them down. If I have to put a bunch of stuff on a string to get a bow quiet, it's the wrong string.

I  personally liked the 8 strand D-10 strings on my Widows from SBD and Oliver Stacy with wool puffs.

I have tried the stock strings and do not prefer them as much as the aftermarket strings I have used.

I have never had any problems with the strings that come from Widow, I don't worry about speed!

Google Ken Beck's article on Black Widow bowstrings compared to others... it will enlighten you.
