B50 is a great string choice.  Once stretched and braced it will be good to go for many years.

All string types have their merits.  One sting type is not better than any other, all things considered.  They each have strengths and weaknesses, which present differently, given arrow / bow combination, etc.

Ron, I have some 75gr screw-in adapters for glue-ons and a test set, so I think I will give them all a whirl and see what I can come up with. If I can save him the need to buy new arrows that would be good.

Got the brace to 7 5/8ths and put some home made wool silencers on the string. Much quieter. Shooting a grab bag of arrows at the moment and some are noisier than others. I thing a couple have tight nocks and that is causing some noise. I'll try some 2117 with 200gr tips tonight and se how it shoots.
