Tom, when ordering a new string be sure to lay the string you have on the bow out on a flat surface and measure it tip to tip. The reason is a lot of bows that are marked a certain length are not actually the length marked by the bowyer. I usually use a nail and pull it tight. Measure your bows some time. Ken

Bobby Graham aka bgram! they're called G-Strings. Bobby is a sponser on here. The only strings you'll find on my bows are Bobby's strings. Great strings and great customer service.

Bobby Graham and Chad both make great strings. Lately I've been getting my strings from Bobby.

Bobby's G-String is probably the best of the best. He just put one together for me, a 12-strand D-97 out of metallic bronze & silver that matches my Charcoal Silvertone Dymondwood riser / figured bocote limbs Lost Creek absolutely perfectly.

Can't go wrong with Bobby Graham, great strings and nice guy to deal with. As a matter of fact I have a new to me Howatt Hi-Speed on the way and I know she'll feel best with one of Bobby's strings on her. Gotta order one now. You'll find him in the "Sponsors Classifieds".

Thanks, guys. I guess I should've mentioned that I prefer Endless Loop strings....

One more time for Bobby Graham. He can build anything you want and as good a string as money can buy. Great to deal with too.

I don't think Bobby makes endless loop strings.

I just got a couple of flemish from Chad, and they look very good, so I ordered another one.
