I really like Hunter's Choice bowstrings. They hold up very well, are nicely made and give my humble bow a boost.

You could make your own. Super easy ,no string board or special tools needed and you can customize to your needs. :archer2:

BW makes a quality string; it's as good as any out there.  I enjoy making my own strings, and can probably make one better than BW for my particular bow, because I’m not trying to make a string that would work for every bow from 30-70#.  If you enjoy doing things yourself, you will be happy making your own strings; if not, it will be a chore and quality strings are not that expensive to buy.

This.  Daniel builds the best string I've used and I've tried a few well recommended makers.  Quiet, reliable and long lasting.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

All my bows wear TenRing strings.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
