Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

I called Big Jim's and talked to Debbie to get mine. Also helped their effort to raise funds for MDA while I was at it.

The 6 strand is only for bows with 53# and under effective draw weight.
I believe 8 strand goes to 63# and 10 strand is for 63#+
I put the 8 strand on my Thunderchild.  It is 53# at my 27".
I've got several 6 strand strings on other bows.  All of them are excellent!
If your draw weight is less than 53#, I would go with 6 strand.  Its an amazing string.
