I don't twist endless loop strings. Less twisting equals less stretch.

Well I'm glad to read this thread....  i thought I had read someplace not to use fast flight for wooden bows because of the lack of stretch.... ???

I have been avoiding it since...
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Yep that's exactly what people told me! They said traditional bows would explode because it can't manage the low stretch material. But ive never had that problem :)
I started using D75 after a B50 dacron string on a 75# longbow was hitting my forearm pretty hard.
Works like a charm!

I have got away with 10 on a 160lb bow that I shot for flight, yes it did hurt my fingers.
