Title: Need info for K4 string.
Post by: Poultrygeist on January 01, 2019, 10:08:20 AM

I have an early model Bear K4 headed my way, but it will not have a string with it. I have never owned a bow with static and brush guard tips. I am going to play it safe and use B50 or B55 for the string. The info i need is if the loops of the string need to be larger than a standard recurve string? And also with these type of tips,what would be the best style of stringer to use? :help:

I made my loops just a little larger with B50. Also used a Selway stringer.

I actually made my loops smaller than normal due to the narrow limbs.  My K4 string came out at 59" for a brace height of 6 7/8".  Hope this helps.
