bow string material
« on: February 25, 2015, 09:00:35 pm »
Could any one give me your advice on string material?  Dacron 50 or BCY B55 Polyester Bowstring Material or something different.  Thanks.

Thanks.  What about a tillering string?  I've been using the same string material but was wondering if I am missing any thing.  Still new at all of this.

I use a lot of spectra now.  Same material as fast flight.  But cheaper.

Nothing but FF (or similar) for me... on all my bows.

I've always used B-50 on my bows and have no complaints. B-55 is very similar.
