SBD strings
« on: October 23, 2011, 07:55:00 PM »
Are SBD strings safe to use on bows that are not made for FF strings.  I ordered one for my 1977 Damon Howatt Hunter 42@28 62"  but then read where they are FF only.  My bow is not FF.

It is not recomended to use a FF type string on a non FF rated bow.I would get a dacron string for your bow,it's safe and will do fine.

The SBD strings are fast flight,they use BCY D-10 fastflight material. I wouldn't use on a bow that didn't have the tips reenforced for FF. They are great strings (quiet and fast as advertised)I've bought and used 4 of them.

No way.  Made that mistake once before I knew what fast flight was.  Sheared the tips off the bow after a while!

For FF bows, SBD strings are awesome!

Ok thanks just emailed Pierre about cancelling my order. Can someone give me the name a a good string maker that would make one to work on my bow. From what i have read a dacron flemish twist string would work good. Is this correct. How are the strings from 3Rivers.

If your bows not fast flight I wouldn't chance it.

acollins, if it's too late to cancel that order let me know and I'll take it at full price (but not 2x shipping). That's what I need for my 62" Lost Creek. I already have 2 on order from SBD, but shelf life on a bow string is probably longer than mine and I'll probably live long enough to use it eventually.
