I honestly could care less what a guy shoots for a bow or a string, or an arrow. It's all Traditional Archery to me. Any Man that makes his own bow and hunts with it is tops as far as I'm concerned. If he makes carbon arrows so be it, if he makes aluminum arrows so be it, if he makes wooden arrows so be it, if he makes river cane arrows so be it. If he makes Flemish Strings out of B-50 then cool, but if he makes strings out of FF, then he is a Sissy Pants... :) ;D

maybe I'm a bit late with this thread .... but.... I always use B50 because years ago the guy who innitially taught me to make bows said, using fast fast flight on wooden laminate bows would cause them to delam...now, even though peope have told me this doesnt happen, the fear went in too deep and I dont trust it.
Has anyone one of you bowyers out there heard of this happenning???

I use FF on all my LAM bows.  Never a problem yet with de-laming.

last time I looked at the price of FF,  I read that actual FF was no longer available, and I came accross all types of brands like dyneeema etc   What is the best brand to buy and whats the differences?, are they all the same material ? or different ? . or maybe I should post a new thread asking?

toomanyknots,
                       I'm spoiled also, hard to out perform a properly built linen string. Light and no stretch...
