would a fast flight string help
« on: May 30, 2009, 07:11:00 PM »
i have a post on here for arrow help,i am shooting beaman mfx 400 classics 30in long with a 75 grain insert and 125 tips and they seem to stiff. my question is would a fast flight srting help with this problem? sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but arrows are not cheap. also i have a hoyt gamemaster and i assume the stock string is not fast flight.
thanks
mike

Only use a fast-flight string if Hoyt says you can, otherwise you risk serious damage to your bow.  I don't know if it will help with your arrow flight or not.  My guess would be that it won't.  Did you bare shaft tune one arrow first before cutting them all?

Mike, if your bow will handle f.f. string material, yes it might. Also putting more upfront weight, to weaken spine, what do you say? Where in Illinois are you? Steve

A skinny d-97 string will help and quieten the bow some as well.The small strings work wonders with the gamemaster as far as noise goes.

The gamemaster just doesn´t seem to perform very well with heavy arrows.
It prefers light target arrows.
If you try to put more weight up front you lose even more performance.

As far as I know, the gamemaster can be used with ff.

Good luck!

the original gamemaster 1 came with d97 strings. so would assume the gamemasters all came with d97, or ff.
