Blackwidow bow string question
« on: February 09, 2014, 12:26:00 PM »
Hi guys, I just got my Blackwidow bow...I want to make some Flemish strings.
I would like to use Fast Flight Plus. Can I use Fast Flight Plus and how many strands???
my bow is 54 pounds and my draw length.
Hopefully you will see me as a better person today than I was yesterday..

If new bow and concerned about warranty, I think contacting the folks at BW could best answer your question.

Otherwise, I think appropriately padded loops would perform just fine since BW bows are plenty durable.

Mine came with Fast flight strings.  Yes check with them but I think you can use "whatever" on them.

Thanks guys, I called Blackwidow today and they said I am good and if I decided to use less than 15 strands to pad the loops.
Hopefully you will see me as a better person today than I was yesterday..

Yes, the 8-strand skinny string gives a bit more speed, and padded loops quiet the bow too.
