Your father-in-law is right. That's good shooting. He's a pretty cool dude to let you take his BW and keep it for awhile, too.

Hey, if you want a new high performance string then I suggest you go for it. There are several good string makers on here so go on over to the sponsors' area and pick one. They will be able to tell ya exactly what you need in a string.

Hello and Welcome Billy. I would recommend a new fast flight string. I just bought a Sage myself. It makes a world of difference. And yarn type string silencers. Just contact a string maker on our sight and tell him what you want. PM me if you need help. Bob
