Fast flight on a modern grizzly?

[damascusdave]

The example I use often is the current Bear Kodiak and my 1960 Kodiaks...take a look at the limb tips on those two bows and tell me that Bear Archery would not have used the same string material on both had it been available in 1960

I guess a simple solution would be to send an E-Mail to Bear Archery and ask them if it FF friendly. I would think they would be able to tell you!

Good advice. I think I will send them an email. Seem to get mixed reviews here.

Please publish their response. I think we would all find it interesting.

Just a comment on the frequently seen statements that FF hurts the fingers more - your fingers never contact the string; they contact the serving which should be the same diameter (and can be the same material) for B-50 or FF strings. I have B-50 on my Bear K-Mag and FF on my other bows. I sure can't feel any difference in any of the strings since they are all sized to fit the same nocks.

WRT to FF/"hurts more" statement:
Yes, I've experienced this. Probably due to the fact my FF is smaller in diameter, but even while using my tab, which is pretty thick, BTW...my fingertips feel much more sore; 'tender', if you will..than Dacron.
Don't know the reason behind this, but it's so.
Yes, I could use a different tab, larger dia. string, etc. But I'm OK shooting B50.

According to 3 Rivers this bow should not be used with a FF string.

I emailed bear and they confirmed Dacron only. So I guess I will order a b55 string.
