New GAS Strings Review System X | First Impressions & Test!

[@jamesmckerr1202]

Ive seen strings built for speed back in the day ,diferent materials, stran count , combination of materials, serving , weights, speed balls ,ect. Onestly im surprised this hasnt been done already with all the new tech and materials we have now. Congrats Gas Strings for stepping up your game

[@the_sharp_carpenter]

Would be interesting to see a 100 shot "broke in" actory string vs 100 shot "broke in" GAS set. And like mentioned dialed in tune on both

[@Sparky513]

I tested A3 bloodlines with gas, and I won't be buying gas anymore I will say that. I papertuned after putting a few arrows threw it, took measurements on everything and the gas stretch and was getting bad peep twist after 500 arrows. A3 now over 3,000 arrows and hasn't budged, no stretch, no peep twist, still shooting bullet holes, ect. Only down side to A3 is their lead time. Think it was 5-6 weeks to get them in. And I got closer to 8fps speed increase with the A3 which I wasn't even expecting at all, seen other ger 10fps with the A3 bloodlines. I'm still not impressed with gas at all, they have great marketing and a cool name, are they quality strings yes, but when I can get better for cheaper or thw same price it's a no brainer. Also 2.5-5fps I'm not worried about, I'll go up a few pounds in draw weight if I was worried about speed. But that's their marketing at its finest, got all these idiots about to spend 200+ on strings for 2.5-5fps 😂😂 their geniuses

[@chrishorton9158]

A3 bloodline did same for me rx7

[@tsi-rocket4144]

@@Sparky513 I'm glad I read your comment lol. After issues with my VEC99 strings from a very popular forum string builder I called Brent. Immediately after my conversation with Brent I ordered a set of b99 string/cable from him. The wait time sucked I wont lie but wow are they excellent strings. Pulled the string/cables off the paper clip meticulously on the install to find my cam timing was spot on right off the paper clip. Set my peep and tied it in and 3000shots later my cam timing and peep are still spot on. Brace and ATA are also still spot on. I chronographed my bow at a shop with my factory strings but haven't been able to catch them at a good time to be able to chrono my A3 strings yet. Doesn't help I figured out how to tune my own bows along with buying a press and do all my own work allowing me to buy used bows for good deals and set them up myself. This doesn't earn me points at the local pro shop haha. I did however have to note that my rip xv arrows exhibited weak spine after the A3 B99 string/cable install and I had to raise my 50 and 60 pins. But without numbers it doesn't matter. All my local shops offer Gas strings but one of them advised me Gas had been having issues? I can't confirm but the bow tech that told me this has been doing it a long time and he's a good bow tech and his shop still has Gas signs all over. Either way he adds sauce to your experience with Gas.

@@Sparky513that’s funny because I just bought a set of A3 bloodlines for my Lift 33 last season. Took 7 weeks and multiple phone calls to get a response but the strings are nice.

Next video idea a full tune after a 50 shot break in period. Let’s see if it makes a difference?

[@slimandlean]

Cool video, I’ll show it to my brother who has a Lift. I just got a set of gas strings for my Bear resurgence. Excited to feel the improvement on the bow.

Do the monkey tails on the stock strings cause it to be a little slower ? If both were tested with or without would that make a difference?

@@tommy001996 i agree this video was crisp and edited well 👌

[@tsi-rocket4144]

Honest question Josh I hope you have a response. How do strings made of Bloodline B99 from places like Catfish or A3 compare to these strings? My B99 strings have at least 3000shots on them and a season of whitetail hunting and the peep, timing, and poundage is still the same. Dropped draw weight from 70.5-69.5 pretty early into "shooting them in" and the poundage has stayed at 69.5# for a couple thousand arrows. I'm excited Gas has released these new strings it would just be great to see a comparison between these Gas string/cable and a set of B99 string/cables from someone.

[@tylerdavis6721]

When I switched from factory on my lift 33 to A3 b99 I gained just as much fps as gas is claiming.

[@bearclawbeav6127]

Same here. I wish I had a decimal reader. I think they sound quiter as well. But really can't tell with out the meter

[@tommy001996]

The draw lenght on the GAS seems a bit shorter than the stock string by about 1/4 of an inch? The Mathews one had the 30inch mark aligned with the rest bracket.

[@RKeaton]

Yup saw that too

[@fultz.c92]

Love Eric and his team over at Gas I live like hour away from them over there in Clay City, Ky. There all great down to earth people.

Im not usually this type of person to point something out in the comments but i did notice you didnt put the monkey tails back on the new set. Now i know it wouldnt effect it much but im curious how it would be if they were on there like the original set. Love the vids Josh i watch them all!

[@JohnCollins-o8w]

Beat me to the monkey tail comment👌

[@mikereed845]

When I put the hole shots back on my AX33 I actually gained 2 FPS. Which surprised me cause they weigh near 60 grains.

[@2ndAveScents]

@@mikereed845the extra weight is what gives you the fps. Speed nocks on strings are there because they add fps due to their weight

That axle mounting on the lift is almost exactly like mounting the front axle on a dirt bike, at least the ktm's I've had/have.

[@garrettheapy7254]

Do you sell those draw length arrows?? I need one of those

[@db66-i6i]

live in bama and would love to bring my bow to tennessee and get your opinion on if it's set up right from my local shop. love the channel

[@xforce708]

I was skeptical when I watched PJ Reilly install some and he didn’t get but three if I remember right. Forty years playing this sport and building my own strings for thirty five years or so and also buying ABB, GAS, and others over the years too I just wasn’t expecting much. Would I buy them and hope for five or more? Maybe. What I really want to know about is creep, stretch and abrasion resistance qualities. Until someone finds/develops a lighter material with little to no stretch I’m just not expecting much more speed. And then if the find no stretch can the bows hold up. When Fast Flight material came out some bows built with Dacron didn’t survive the new material.

[@terencepeatman7324]

Would love to see the speed after it’s tuned. Would also like to know if the speed increase is the same between let’s say a 70lbs mod and a 50lb mod. A 5 fps at 50lbs would be huge for a low poundage shooter.

[@gunnermontez4347]

Good afternoon Josh, do you need the 3 inch pins to use the Matthews lift fingers or can you make the 2.5 inch pins with the EZ green press work?

[@houghtonic1975]

I would weigh the factory strings and then weigh the gas strings. I’m pretty sure that is the only way that a string change can make your bow shoot faster if all the other specs are identical before / after the starting change

[@michaelpetty77]

What’s the address for the Nashville shop? Can’t find it on the website.

[@IdahoSwede88]

Was the description AI written? You forgot to tell chat GPT it was about archery strings ;)

[@Angel.Custodio]

I wonder if it just adjust the letoff weight to get the incremental speed increase.

[@joshsmith3650]

I wonder if different weight arrows show the same speed increase or if it is a larger variable

[@loki8284]

Was there a difference in holding weight? The Lancaster Archery video showed an increase in holding weight and PJ didn't notice.

[@Cparchery...]

Can you please test the other gas strings to see the difference

[@kip.k]

I got the new top of the line ABB strings for my non X lift 33. Mostly because my shop deals with them more than gas. They are annoyingly expensive but allegedly have a 2 year warranty against serving separation and peep rotation. Time will tell, but if the 2 year warranty is true then the cost is somewhat justifiable

[@Muskrat78]

Can you do a noise comparison from Stock to Hot?

[@blackbeard0323]

It is unnecessarily complicated to change the strings and cables, especially when compared to every other manufacturer. Guess that leaves them some room for improvement! I'll stick with my Bowtech until they're as user-friendly... I'm stoked about the new Gas products, though.

[@retardmaskreviews]

is Nashville north archer open?

[@DustinApple]

@MFJJ .... What Bow brand comes with the best factory strings?

[@pizzamilf]

Mathews and Hoyt

[@Muskiehunter92]

None, lol. Strings are a weird product. Its not like a piece of metal or plastic that can be identical product to product. Strings are as good as they have ever been but there is still a human element and every brand out there can produce a fantastic string and a crappy string from the same shop on the same day. Factory strings are just more mass produced and don't have the same level of detail and time put in them compared to aftermarket. I have used many factory strings and most have been sub-par with only one bow that surprised me being a PSE. For whatever reason they were solid strings that didn't move and lasted forever. I had another PSE and the strings were lacking... so what does that say, lol. At the end of the day aftermarket strings will always be better and almost all companies can put out a good string.... and a bad string. People tend to become loyal to a brand once they have a good experience with them. I have had good experiences with Threadz, Gas, Joey's and have tried a few others with acceptable results to... Worst has been factory mathews zebra. They were atrocious. Anyways, just sharing my opinion. Take care

[@kylefrye6265]

Good video! Thanks for sharing the numbers, I figured 5fps was a bit of a stretch…

[@jessegillenwater]

so if you swap the strings with the limb shift you have to retune the top and bottom when you reinstall?

[@michaelbushey2787]

Those new joey strings are pretty sick i heard. You gain and average of 5 fps some up to 8 fps. Thats crazy.

[@Muskrat78]

Does the string react a bit different than stock? Like more shock or vibration any other cons vs pros

[@JoeDenton-e3y]

Have your ever tried a set of Joeys String to compare speed. Local archery shop sells them and they seam to be a top notch string.

[@travisalderete5386]

Not sure it offers as advertised. A great set of preferred strings tuned would offer just as much. In a perfect scenario and I am sure they tested it multiple times but does the promise meet the price hike? A lot of string builders out there and this would be at the top end for strings that so far have not tested well. Would definitely be curious to see more string comparisons tested the same. My guess is they will all gain a little with proper tune and setup, these just do not seem justified as a speed string for the cost.

[@DanielMcleod-z1q]

I know a lot just take everything as the gospel. But I can GURANTEE you if measure specs and get (example) 32" ata, 6' brace height , and change strings , even if the exact same make of string, getting 32" ata and 6" brave height may give 1# more or 2# less on draw weight. I can measure my trx:36 and get 36" ata and out 2 twists in cables and still have 36" ata, but niw I pick up 1-2 fps in speed .

So, if I need new strings, my are bad. With that my bow is probably out of specs. How would I know if I got the 5 fps. 2.5 isn’t worth the extra cost.

[@tylerlee5349]

They got 3.5 on Lancaster archery channel. Also, changed my strings on my Elite Omnia. Specs back exactly the same and everything seems the same except my let-off. It’s set at max 90% but now only letting off 77-78%. Please help Josh!!(or anyone who has an idea)

[@DanielMcleod-z1q]

This is what u was just saying. Setting to the same specs will NEVER give you identical numbers . You can twist your cables a couple twists and still keep your same measurements. 2-4 twists in cables isn't going to change ATA , and brace height enough if any on most bows.

[@SW737Flyer]

I appreciate string makers improving the construction and materials they use and anytime you get more speed with all else being equal, that's a very positive thing. But.... getting 2-3 fps spending the extra money AND losing the option to customize my string and cable colors, just isn't worth it for me. MFJJ I bought a set of Flo Orange Gas bowstrings from you for my Mathews V3X and I am very happy with the improvement (from factory Zebra strings) in performance and the looks are killer. I'll stick with the ability to customize my string and cable sets based on color and accept speed being the same while saving the $50.

[@tjrou2005]

I'm not nocking GAS in any way because they are amazing people and they are an amazing company. That said every aftermarket set of strings I've ever swapped to was 5-7 FPS faster, they also usually pull 3-5lb heavier. I'd like to see these strings with 100 or so shots on them compared to other well known aftermarket string brands like Rogue, ABB, twisted X, etc. Gas sounds like the first ones to advertise this, even though its common.

[@tjrou2005]

I do like that they have tested speed nocks and have optimized them for different bows. The 4 center serving size options are nice as well, with such a wide variety of lighted nock fits out there, that may be worth the extra $50 alone.

[@josephbucci484]

Gawd no. Even if it’s 5 FPS what’s the trade off on durability and staying in tune? The new Mathews strings are pretty good.

[@ericnewman971]

The only way to increase the output of a bow if all other factors are equal is to increase stored energy or change the draw curve. (inturn change the stored energy location. Front or back) If you truly want to test, you need to draw a curve and see if the new strings are making the change. Im betting it's changing the draw curve and then increasing stored energy. If you were to put it back to the exact set point, you won't see an increase. if so, then it will be strictly the weight of the string. Would like to see you do a stored energy calculation. also, put the monkey tails back on, and your gain won't be there. The average fps lost with monkey tails is 3 fps.

[@davefisher5196]

My 50lb bow came with strings for an 80lb bow. I am sure if I had strings made for my specific weight the bow would be faster

[@raylaclair5138]

I will get them soon 😅

[@CaseySorensen]

You should do it again with a 500 grain arrow so those of us with heavier arrows can get an idea of the speed increase.

[@beaubellamy2999]

I think the practical answer is that if you need new strings and you’re willing to pay more for performance than it’s worth a purchase. If not, it’s not.

[@chadpearson8597]

I wonder what it would be if you removed the monkeytails... I bet it would gain 1 fps on stocks..

[@mattsoutdoors7757]

I think it's anouther set of strings. Every string manufacturer have gone up in price. I still like the BCY strings. 150 bucks now and I allways Chang my strings after season so I can break them in during the summer months. And then broadhead tune in August. I allway put my bow so it shoots 290fps and that is my sweet spot for my arrows with broadheads. So these gas string is not worth it for me. If I can get 2 years out of them without them looking like they are used and holds up for 2 years. I would say yes worth it. But speed not needing that. Just need 290fps that's it. I'll just flip my mod and put it to 70lbs and I'll be at 315-320fps with a 444grn arrow.
