New strings and cables

I am in need of a string and cables for my bow. The last string I had put on was only 8 months ago. The serving has been re-done once and is shot again. Also the cables I am sure are 7 or more years old and showing lots of wear.
Does anyone have any recommendations for strings for this bow?

These are for my Hoyt Powerflex. It is an older bow, and very harsh shooting. Lots of recoil and the draw is not real smooth. It does, however, send arrows down range really well. Last week at league I shot a 298 37X with it. The serving around the wheels is all separated, the center serving on the string is worn out. Like I said before... Need New Strings! I am now torn between Winners Choice and one built at http://www.genescustombowstrings.com/ . He said he can tame out a lot of the shock in my bow as well. It is so bad that it breaks the fibers in my TruGlo sight.
I like the zebra twist.... and the barracuda.[;)]
I found ammo to bash slash in this thread but I will leave it alone[:D]
Yea but I won't [:0]Hoyt vibrating string breaking serving seperation peice of crap[xx(][:D][:D]

wow. that is pretty bad. my old pse wasn't even that bad.[:0][:0][B)]
Bucky Why stop bashing Slash? That is half the reason I stick around and read all the trash you guys deal out.
One way to fix it....... GO GET A MATHEWS..[:D]
[:D]
No problem. I would hapily get a Mathews. Got an extra $800 laying around? I don't. That is why I keep shooting this old POS.

ya. surekill. buy the man a new bow[:D]
As for a new bow, I am looking at them and making plans for the next 2 or 3 years at buying one. Today I might go try the Browning Illustion. From what I have read, they look to be a really good bow. I do like the switchback, but they are a few hundred more. Never know what I might come home with...
Well I would have had $800, but I just dropped off my dog for knee surgery. That will eat up about that much. Good thing for him he is such a good dog...

I told my fiance if it ever came down to 1 cent or 2000, its going to be the 1 cent that is spent.
I've said that too but when the time came it was a different story.
I grew up on a farm, I ate my pets. [:D]
I grew up on a farm as well. Just never and a desire to try Lab...
Turns out he didn't need surgery. They did another exam whie he was under and found sufficient scar tissue to hold the knee together. He is the million dollar dog. $2500 last year between 2 ACL's and a tail amputation (don't ask). Now it is a question of where to draw the line. With that much invested, it is hard to pull the plug. Besides he is such a good dog.
nice lookin dog. we had some chocolate labs that looked like that......nice dogs
