As others have said.  Get a fastflight bow string, it makes a whole different bow.  faster, quiter, better shooting.

If you buy a Sage from Twig Archery it comes set up with shelf rest, nock point, and string silencers installed. If you requested it I'm sure John would set up with a FF string.

I got the new one piece Sage recurve recently and got a FF string for it. Same results you guys found with the takedown. It went from shooting 1816's like lasers to shooting 1916's like lasers.

I'm going to have to play the devil advocate here and suggest that if you do go with a fast flight string make sure that it's flemish twist and thick.

These skinny fast flight fingers are very hard on your fingers and just feel harsh for practically no noticeable gains in arrow speed.

I have to disagree on most points.  I don't care for "skinny" strings, as I've found no real advantages to them and a few disadvantages...but for the rest...

I don't care for over-built either.  18-20 strands of BCY-X or 8190, 12 strands of Dynaflight '97, 14 strands of 8125 all give a similar diameter string that isn't really bit or really small.  

The feel much better on the shot to me, reducing hand shock in any bow that has it.  The shot feels more..."crisp", for lack of a better word.

Endless works just fine, if it's made correctly.  I make both and shoot both endless and flemish, and have shot both on my Journey.  Properly tuned, I can't tell a difference other than the looks.

Performance gain isn't the reason I use and recommend materials  like BCY-X.  They are more durable, more consistent, and make the bow feel better at the shot.

I have to disagree. My 6-strand SBD is easy on my fingers, quieted the bow down, and sends an arrow down range with authority. Just tell Pierre what type of nock you are using and he gets the serving made to match.

I once put a 6 strand string on a Bear Montana and trimmed the bow ends a bit. It sure changed the bow's shooting and made it much quieter.  The serving was the same size as a regular string and fit the nocks perfectly. My fingers didn't feel any difference in the string.

I have a sage #50.  Before my first riser broke, I was using a Bear Weather rest with regular carbon Eastons, 55-70 I think, with the 4 inch plastic vanes and it actually shot very well, along with a 3rivers replacement string.  

I loaned the limbs to a friend, and he killed a doe that next weekend.
