Does anyone here have any experience with artificial sinew for string material?

I've heard it stretches, but I really don't have experience with heavier draw bows.

I want to try yucca or real sinew after a while though.

I use Dacron B50 for most of my bows below 50#, and FF for those above. I use FF for all the warbows I make, as B50 is just too stretchy for heavy draw weights. The cost for either material is really negligible, as a 1/4# spool of either lasts a very long time.
