Anybody know the build specs on BJ's strings? No. strands and material? Didn't want to bother the Big Guy but might have to.
Thanks David

Looks like you are going to have to give the Big Guy a call i would like to know too.  I have two Buffalo's but i replaced both of the strings that came with the bows with 8 strand padded strings.

I believe the ones that came with my BG bows were TS-1 about 14-16 strands

I use TS1 and 18 strands. I know that is overkill, but it fits the nocks well and the bows shoot very well with it. I have tried a few skinny strings, and although they have shot quite well, I couldn't tell enough difference to warant the extra time building them. I have not gone through the effort of chronographing the bow with the skinny strings, but I think that if you want to go that route, you can give SBD strings a email and they can hook you up.
thanks, bigjim
