Bowstring for a MOAB
« on: January 26, 2010, 05:38:00 PM »
Need to know what string material Jim uses for his moab.  Mine's a few years old and needs replacing before I head south for a hog hunt.

I'm pretty sure he uses Dynaflight for his strings, thats what I've used to tie up replacements. He uses a 14 strand string, I've lowered mine to 10 strand with no problems and it shoots great. I'm shooting 57# on my 60" MOAB and 52#@27" on my 62" MOAB. Both are 10 strand dynaflight.

I think it is Dynaflight 14 strand.  I used to have that info someplace, but can't find it.  It is a fat one for sure.  I will be using an 8 strand SBD string soon.
