I appreciate that!  I don't claim to know it all, and a lot of what I do know is because someone shared it with me.  I'm very fortunate to have a great working relation with BCY, not to mention other excellent string makers and archers like Rod Jenkins to help me when I hit a snag.  

The way I see it, if we want the sport to progress and grow we have to share from all aspects.  I'm not a lot of help in most areas, but I do know a thing or two about strings, and I don't mind sharing.

D10, 452x, or Ultracam are all my favs.  I hate Dacron.  To me its obsolete except for classic glass bows.  I use the aforementioned materials on FF approved bows and even selfbows.  Selfbows work great with FF.

I like d-10 and 8190, but am going to get a chance to try 450+, when Jason gets around to building my new Kanati. I think that's what he puts on them.

Always used Dynaflight 97 on my bows. Trying out some 8190 right now. Seems to be really good stuff as well.   :thumbsup:

I am trying some different string materials right now. I have noticed that with 8190, I need to step up in spine some.  Have not noticed that with 8125 or Trophy.
