We know for older
bows that B-50 or B-55 is best. BUT what is your favorate bow string for the fast
flight (newer) bows? D-97 ts-1 8125 ? and why

9 strand padded loop Ultra Cam on one of my longbows. Very quiet and fast.I also have some Endless loop FF on a few bows that works great as well.

The D10 string used on SBD strings is hard to beat in my book.

I've used only Dacron B-50 for many years. I has always worked well for me and I have never had a string break. (knock on wood)

I use D-97 b/c it's less expensive. Works fine for me.

I like 14 strand D-97 because that is what was on my bow when I got it and I am all tuned up with it, If I change string material or number of strands I have to retune. When I get things right, I do not tinker any more!

The SBD strings are tough to beat.

I'm really liking my D10 string because it hardly stretches at all. I used to like D97 but I had to keep twisting it because of it stretching and decreasing my brace height.

Another vote for UC (Ultra Cam). I first tried D97 and although some love it I didn't care for it at all.
