serving size?

[Ybuck]

:confused:  To serve a fast-flight string, which size serving should i use? .026?, or ?
                       thank you.

How many strands? Is your string orignal fastflight, or another material that your using the generic term fastflight for? What arrow nocks are you using?

[Ybuck]

Rod.
Please forgive my ignorence here.
The sring is dyneema/spectra flemish string. How many strands? I have no idea.
I think my nocks are called "X nocks"?

[Rod Jenkins]

No problem....but its impossible to recommend a serving diameter, without knowing strand count and material as the different material vary in strand diameter....might get you in the ballpark, knowing strand count..........unstring that bow and get to counting!  :D

Hey Rod.
I come up with 18 strands.

[Ybuck]

help please  

[Rod Jenkins]

Im guessing a string with 18 strands may in fact be Fastflight or a simlar strand diameter material such as 8125...

I'd go with .021 or.022 diameter serving with the Xnocks.

Thanks for your help Rod, i appreciate it.

Presently, I'm using a 16 strand FF string, and using .018 FF serving material.  I would assume, for others, how you like your arrow nocks to fit.
