Yuck! New string=big speed loss May 19, 2008 19:28:51 GMT -5

I just put a new string and cables on my Iron Mace. It came with Winner's Choice made out of 8125. My new set was made out of 452x. I lost 22 fps

. I was expecting a loss of about 10 fps.

I think I'll shoot them in, then put the old set back on and keep the new ones for a spare.

Yeah... the most I've ever gained was 12 fps going to 8125.

I am wondering if the new one is shorter than the one you took off on top of the material difference. Thats a truck load!
