Flight shooting strings
Selfbowman:
Ok so what kind of mass weight should I look for in a 69" 50# bow that only breaks2out ten times? :-\ Arvin
Badger:
Arvin I don't follow that line of thinking that a good all wood flight bow is 90% broke. Wood is not the same as fiberglass. Wood performs best if you stay within its elastic limits which puts it all the way down in the 70% broke class. I would say with 3" of reflex between 24 and 25 oz.
Selfbowman:
Ok ;D as usual misunderstood. What I want to know is what should the string weigh. So I can try to build string for the mass of the bow. I am sure I am showing my ignorance here. Did not get there in math. Maybe 85 grains? Just a guess. Arvin
Badger:
Arvin 85 is good, I quite weighing them because I know mine are always heavier than I want. 8 strands is about the best I have been able to get by with on the 6 strand linen. I heard you mention 6 strands, thats good!
avcase:
85 grains for a durable finished linen string would be very good for a 50# 69" long bow.
