Title: bow string material
Post by: Tiredtim 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.

Is that fishing line?  That's cool.

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.
