I'm getting ready to switch my recurve to a flemish string. Who makes the best flemish string? My bow has F.F. on it now. Thanks for you advice.

wayde
the many sponsor string makers here all make very good strings. but your milage my vary as to what string material works the best with your setup
wether you go with dacron or the low stretch (fastflight) materials

just some food for thought

Go to the Sponsors Classified section and look up Oliverstacey (Josh Sowerby).  He has been my string builder for the last couple of years, great strings and a great guy to deal with.  If your bow will handle a FF type string, I would definitely go with it.  I use D-97 on everything I shoot except on some older bows, and the modern material is just superior in every way IMHO.

the flemish is indeed, a good string. FF or not, i use nothing but flemish...
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

Josh Sowerby aka- Oliverstacey has been making my string for a few years now and I have never had anything but good things to say. Plus he is a Tradgang sponsor, love to support those folks!  In a test I got 3 seasons out of one string. Pretty awesome considering how much I shoot.    :D    

 Here is one he did for my Northern Mist, beautiful!!    :thumbsup:    

 
 
 
Just one more step please!
