I will be very thankful if you write here your experience with string material!
Flamish string
( for recurve bow)

I would say BCY-x and X-99 are the 2 quietest I have used. Both quieter than D-97.

That's been my experience also. 8125 and 8190 was also quiet and fast as is BCY Mercury

I had a Kanati that was always fairly loud with a few different strings from a couple different materials, and I got it the quietest with a skinny BCY-X that I made. It's not a "magic bullet"on a loud bow, and I won't claim it to be, but it may help.
The bigger advantage to BCY-X/X99 over D97 that no one has mentioned is stability. My brace height stays much more consistent (basically never changes) once the string is shot in from new. I can't imagine it being noticeably louder than any other material, so I'd choose it on the stability aspect alone.

I had good experience with FF+ with last recurve . FF is very quiet and after 3 days brace height was stable

It's all a matter of tuning in most cases.

They really quiet the big hooks. Feel free to send me a message for more info...
FF+/D97 or m last one was 8125. The 8125 seems to be a bit stiffer
FF+ and D97 are same material but in different size strands, by different makers.
Stay away from BCY-X or 452 unless you get approval from the limb/bow maker.
My Borders are not warrantied for use by anything other than D97 or 8125. I know that other makers are the same.

If for a Covert Hunter... I recommend a Mountain Muffler string over a specific material.

I really like 452x. I liked 450+ but I like 452 x even more. I use 18 strands and single serve perfect for carbons and wood, might need a wrap of floss but you could cut 1/2 the string and still use it. Strong and quiet. Doesn’t move and very little fuzzing.
452x is worst thing you can put on your bow!
And all “X” material !

I’ve been using it exclusively for 2 years on new bows I make and my own. I think it’s great, tough as nails. Quiet, I make 2 bundle and add 2 pieces of B50 to each bundle so 4 per end to beef it up and man, no issues. It’s shot in quickly too. I missed and elk 2x this year and if I could shoot 50 yds I’d have had another shot.. I see no reason to worry or change.
I went and read the description of all of their strings, and I can’t find a reason to suggest this material 452x is anything but a stellar performer..

452X os too tough for trad bow. Special for carbon limbs . So I just shared with you guys. But if like 452x , that’s not my business

This is suggestion to me from one bowyer (well known)

You said “and all “X” material”. That would make my BCY-x, or my X-99 string somehow bad for trad bows. I’m calling hogwash on that. Could be something to it for carbon limbs? Idk anything about them, but to make a blanket statement like that just isn’t correct!!!!

I literally know of 1000's who would disagree. Of course most are not Border owners. But even a few of them would disagree.

Even on my newer ones I use 6 strands of 97 and 6 strands of 50 solely for the purpose of noise.
I tried straight dyna on my newer ones and they sound like a .22. Doubled the silencers and still too loud. Guess every bow is different...
